Against the prevailing orthodoxy Flory a white timber merchant befriends Dr Veraswami a black enthusiast for Empire. The doctor needs help. U Po Kyin Sub- divisional Magistrate of Kyauktada is plotting his downfall. The only thing that can save him is European patronage: membership of the hitherto all-white Club.
