Elderly colonels, who had outlived the love
of truth, wrote to the papers to say that they had been familiar with the
works of Ghurab in Afghanistan, and Aden, and other suitable localities a
quarter of a century ago. A Ghurab-of-Karmanshah Club sprang into
existence, the members of which alluded to each other as Brother
Ghurabians on the slightest provocation. And to the flood of inquiries,
criticisms, and requests for information, which naturally poured in on
the discoverer, or rather the discloser, of this long-hidden poet, the
Rev. Wilfrid made one effectual reply: Military considerations forbade
any disclosures which might throw unnecessary light on his nephew's
movements.
After the war the Rector's position will be one of unthinkable
embarrassment, but for the moment, at any rate, he has driven _The
Forbidden Horsepond_ out of the field.
