Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Podd of Borneo Maud Anderby stepped out of a taxi into Eastern life again one morning a few days after her eighteenth birthday. She stood among bags, racquets and golf clubs on Fenchurch Street platform, glancing in a friendly way at the sallow folk about her. The girls looked like tea roses. In the boat train was a rather nice old lady; and Maud´s finishing school happened to have been one where the possibility of age deserving notice was still carefully inculcated. They conversed. Both, it seemed, were going to Singapore. "It is queer to meet anyone who knows the place," remarked Maud. "I´d hardly heard of it myself," confessed the old lady, "until my son got his cadetship and was ordered there. Hes in the smoking carriage next to us now. When we get to Tilbury I´ll introduce him, and hell look after your luggage." He did more than that. He got her a better cabin, arranged that her place at dinner in the saloon should be at the centre table, took her to see the water tanks at Aden, and managed to make her nearly lose the boat at Colombo. They would have lost it altogether had not the captain been a friend of Alec Nixon´s and father of a daughter himself.
