From "King of the Khyber Rifles"
by Talbot Mundy (1916):

    "He found lawless satisfaction for himself in
    that Ismail's blood-price should have been a
    priest, not one of his brother officers.  A
    man does not follow King's profession for
    health, profit or sentiment's sake, but
    healthy sentiment remains.  The loyalty that
    drives him, and is its own most great reward,
    makes him a man to the middle.  He liked
    Ismail.  He could not have liked him in the
    same way if he had known him guilty of English
    blood, which is only proof, of course, that
    sentiment and common justice are not one.  But
    sentiment remains.  Justice is an ideal."
