“English is not spare. But it is beautiful. It cannot be called truthful because its subtleties are infinite. It is the language of a people who have probably earned their reputation for perfidy and hypocrisy because their language itself is so flexible, so often light-headed with statements which appear to mean one thing one year and quite a different thing the next.”

“Rumours began with the whispered gossip of native servants and spread quickly to the rest of the population.”

“The calendar was a mathematical progression with arbitrary surprises.”
