In Shepheard's Hotel, Englishmen especially congregate. There you may see the Anglo-Indian, yellow and debilitated, fresh from Calcutta, Madras, or Bombay, looking as if he had lived upon curries and mangoes all his life; and there too you may see the young man fresh from England, going out to try his fortune in the far East, to find, alas! that the pagoda tree has long ceased to blossom, and that rupees are a delusion and a snare. There, too, you may see passengers from Australia, China, and the Straits Settlements, pressing on to England after years of exile, and others, generally younger men, hurrying off to the same distant regions, full of ambitious hopes and ardent fancies.
