I checked this in my UK-published copy (Rider & Co., 1923-30), and the
quote is the same.

Now excuse me for saying this, but we Brits are not unfamiliar with the
history of the Brisish Raj in India, and although and educated Indian
might use (even for that time) anachronistic quasi-biblical language
such as "verily" it is *extremely* doubtful that one such would use the
very American word "gotten" - which after many a year, I still haven't
got used to, if you all get my drift ...
