Présentation de l'éditeur
Palace Hotel. A running into each other of rickshas and Cape carts, for somehow or other the newly installed electric light had refused to work, and so the streets were in Cimmerian darkness, a condition of things that occasioned involuntary descents into the sluits, those abysses known to every inhabitant as Mainwaring smantraps. Now all this and much more was happening because the First Train had arrived at the temporary station that morning.
