In the prison camp he found his old house-master’s son when they both made a grab for the same tin cup on a heap they were rummaging through, and they were close in their accommodation.<\/p>\n
In India he had learned some of the techniques of Guru’s and set about creating for himself in the corner of his room, a rose bush. He said how he built it up piece by piece, leaf by leaf until after a few months if he looked away and back quickly the rose would be there. One morning when going to wash his house-master’s son whispered to him as they washed their hands, ‘Do you have any soap?’<\/p>\n
