[ Kipling / "Namgay Doola"]
A comic tale of life in the hills of India and the "mingling" of Irish and Indian culture.
The moon was at full and drew out the rich scent of the tasselled crop. Then I heard the anguished bellow of a
Himalayan cow, one of the little black crummies no bigger than Newfoundland dogs.
[A "crummie" is "A cow with 'crumpled' or crooked horns; often a kind of proper name for any cow." (OED)]
