Description:Excerpt from An Eastern Backwater A Sea-Captain of my acquaintance, pestered during a voyage to India by an inquisitive lady passenger, finally lost his temper, when, in lat. 12 30' N., long. 55 28' E., she inquired, "Is it always rough here, Captain?" "Good heavens, Madam!" he exclaimed, "do you think I live here?" We live here. Have you ever, reader, reclining in a punt on any of the backwaters between Walling ford and Richmond, thought how dull it would be to spend even a week in the stagnant reach where you lay moored for a few short, happy hours? When fair visitors from the West, "doing" the East in a six months' tour, record their impressions of the bright days of a brief cold weather spent in this backwater of ours, and write charming booklets to show how happy is our lot in being privileged to pass the best years of our manhood in this Elysian land, we lay down their books with a sigh and the pregnant comment, "We live here!"
