The passengers aboard are a cos- mopolitan crowd, though few are English. There is a pretty German girl with a blue motor veil wound round her head to set off her demure mouth and twinkling eyes ; an Austrian sports- From Russia to Siam 145 man with a cheeky feather in his cap ; a student from Vienna, coming home from a walking tour, with a ruck-sack on his back that makes one's own ache at the sight of it ; and a nun, whose face is the image of purity as it shines out at you from its frame of ...black. When the steamer stops, barefooted children rush down to see the fun, women in blue aprons, blue skirts, blue bodices, everything blue, and all shades of blue come to fetch or deliver a parcel, while crowds of loungers hang about under the heavily fruited horse-chestnut trees and make silly remarks about those who do not lounge.
