“Another nearby house, a large modern building with magnificent gardens and wide terraces, somewhat lower down the hillside, belongs to Professor Rotindranath Tagore, the son of the celebrated Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. But Professor Tagore, a man of very patriarchal appearance, and his wife Pratima seldom stay here. They spend most of their time at Shantiniketan, the educational institution north of Calcutta founded by the poet. They have therefore let the upper storey of their house to George Patterson, a young Scottish missionary, known to his friends as Pat. This bearded, always cheerful Scot soon became one of my best friends.”
