Excerpt from Darjeeling Ditties and Other Poems: A Souvenir "Darjeeling Ditties" were written mainly for the local press, and as most of the lines told of then current doings, they had, of course, to be penned hurriedly, with no time for revision, ready for the next issue of the paper. Some were written in the Darjeeling Advertiser Office. Passing events, for the press, must be told at once, or, in a journalistic sense, they are ancient history. (See Note, p.33.) A number of the pieces are therefore in the facile trochaic, or iambic tetrameter. To manage a Tea Estate without an assistant, babu, or moonshee leaves little spare time, but the evenings, in part, are generally one's own for private matters.
