The city in many respects is interesting, but it is desperately uncomfort- able — so, at least, it was in my time. When you went out to a dinner or a reception you were forced, there being no hackney-carriages, to hire a sedan-chair, a quaint but horribly uncomfortable conveyance. Ex- cept at the Legations and at the houses of a few Brit- ish merchants, there Avas nothing fit to eat at Pera ; and I grew so weary and nauseated with the cuisine of the table d'hote that, to the horror of Campbell ...Clarke, I used two or three times a week to cross the Bridafe of Boats into Stamboul and dine at a Turkish cook- shop — pilaf kebobs, pastry, fried fish, and so forth ; moistened with the contents of a flask of sherr3'-and- water which I brought with me. The Moslem fre- quenters of this " slap-bang" knew that I was an Un- believer, but they never interfered with me ; they would even point out in a dish the most succulent bits of mutton or fowl which they thought I should find to my liking. Every Turk, as regards good manners, is a born gentleman ; and although he has his occasional outbursts of fanaticism, he is, as a rule, toleration it- self when compared with the barbarous Moor.
