Rusty travels abroad to fulfill his dream of becoming a writer! In his early twenties now, Rusty finally leaves Dehra and books a passage to England, dreaming of writing and selling his novel abroad.

Strolling down Baker Street, he runs into Sherlock Holmes, is accosted by Rudyard Kipling, and has an escapade in the Chinese quarter! After three years abroad, however, Rusty realizes that he wants to make India his permanent home.
