*Twenty-one years of it," said Mr. White, nodding at his wife and son. "When he went away he
was a slip of a youth in the warehouse. Now look at him."
"He don't look to have taken much harm," said Mrs. White, politely.
"I'd like to go to India myself," said the old man, "just to look round a bit, you know."
"Better where you are," said the sergeant-major, shaking his head.

Mr. White wishes he had traveled more is the answer. When you read the sentence with context Mr. White mentions that he had been working his job for 21 years as if he hasn’t left his home much.
