and walked unsteadily to the window overlooking the harbor. He lowered the blind, closing his eyes to block out the sun, then squinted between the slats to observe the activity in the street below, specifically the reason for the clatter. It was a horse-drawn cart, a fisherman’s family out for a Sunday drive. Where the hell else could one see such a sight? And then he remembered the carriages and the finely groomed geldings that threaded through London’s Regent Park with tourists during the summer

I’m also very keen on trying more old-fashioned means of transport such as the tramway or even the horse and carriage. There’s much more pomp and circumstance when the Queen of England rides through London in a horse-drawn carriage than in a Rolls Royce. If I try to be more analytical, I would say that I prefer the forms of transport that play on all my senses – I love feeling the rhythm of the train, seeing

Sarcastically, he uses expressions borrowed from horse-racing and gambling to describe the supposed reaction of the incumbent elites to the realization that their political influence is under threat.

GUARD/PROTECTION DOGS: DON’T MESS WITH ME Every flock requires not only a herder but also a guard to ensure that there’ll be livestock to herd, thus the ascent of such large, tough breeds as the Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, Great Dane, Boxer, and Saint Bernard. The biggest of the big, used as personal

their workers even more poorly than large ones. In one incident, a smalltime pharmacist pays an assistant to sleep in his shop at night, ready to fill after-hours prescriptions. The assistant—eager to maximize his rest—hires a guard to stand out front and screen customers. The guard in turn rents the bit of sidewalk in front of the shop to homeless men looking for a place to sleep. Mistry’s poor are not passive sufferers; they scrabble incessantly for existence, eking out an income and creating a place
