Description

The narrator of the story is an Indian journalist in 19th century India-Kipling himself, in all but name.

Whilst on a tour of some Indian native states he meets two scruffy adventurers, Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan.

Softened by their stories, he agrees to help them in a minor errand, but later he regrets this and informs the authorities about them-preventing them from blackmailing a minor rajah.

A few months later the pair appear at his newspaper office in Lahore.

They tell him of a plan they have hatched. They declare that after years of trying their hands at all manner of things, they have decided that "India is not big enough for them".
