«Consequences» is the title of a short story, which was first published in the “Civil and Military Gazette” and in subsequent editions of that collection. The story is an illustration of the power of Mrs Hauksbee. Tarrion, a "clever and amusing" young officer in an unfashionable regiment, longs for a permanent appointment in Simla.
