Besides this, they include wide range of subjects which are suicide, transvetism, infant mortality, careerism, sportsmanship and the supernaturals. Most of the stories are comedies or tragedies of manners presenting British soldiers, officers, bureaucrats, wives, daughters, mothers, and the doing things in India like courting, marrying, having affairs gossiping, advancing their careers, and so on. This is a whole series of short stories expressing about many individuals in Colonial India and tales as told about those individuals. There are stories in this collection which pierce deeply into the lives of the native population. Being a collection of 40 short stories it explains from stories about a girl falling in love with a story of three soldiers (Soldiers Three). Another tale is that of a family, a husband, his wife and their dead child. The lady lost her child but the man lost both. Even after trying every solution he couldn't bring back his wife from the grip of misery.
