But in another moment or two, someone
at the meeting said : "Well, it's a good
thing to be made to sit up to your busi-
ness once again ; " while Premchund
Roychund on my leaving the room said
to me: "This, B., means beginning
my life over again ; " and he began his
life over again that night. When swollen
by unwonted rains Pactolus bursts its
narrow, restraining banks, what man
may withstand its gold impounded Hood ?
—that is the absolution for all of us
sinners of 1861-65 i while for Premchund
Roychund, the greatest benefactor Bom-
bay ever knew, the bravest and the best
of men, and the most fascinating cha-
racter of Western India since Siva-
jee,—if not storied urn, nor animated bust
be raised in honour of his memory, it will
still ever remain triumphantly true of him
that:—" Stirring spirits live alone; Write
on the other's, ' Here lies such an one.' "
