by Sir Conrad Corfield
' Yes, I served a Maharaja for two years. Ten years later I had to be responsible for deposing him and sending him into exile. But I didn't know that then. All I knew was that this Maharaja ruled a State, a little larger than Belgium and a little smaller than Holland, and had asked for my services as his " Adviser " for a year.'
