[...] Through long years of theatre going and sight-seeing I have become so habituated to the colour of costumes the swirl of hands the glare of foot-lights and the ievitable background music that I do not care whether it is Tara Choudhary or Sadhona Bose that is dancing and whether it is a clasical Kartakeya dance or the dance of the washerwomen or the cucumber ballet. [...] Except love-making on the screen in the cinemas on the embankment and in the trains and buses you can never see any other aspect of the British way of life. [...] And when everything is over and Democracy has been captured by some one or the other it will be announced next to the day's murders in all the papers and the Leader of the Party which has achieved the right to assault Democracy for the next five years will go and kiss the King's hands and become Prime Minister. [...] Again to effect a sale demand is absolutely Coanpare the methods of the ado lei and the jariporreatv-weia for instance—how the one makes you pay half the original price of the a/lappets for putting in a couple of stitches into the tow-strap and how the other beats down your quotations until you have parted with a dozen empty orangsquash bottles for say three arenas.
