Read the following passage from A Visit to Europe by T. N. Mukhari, an Indian civil servant
who came to London in 1886 to work in the Indian and Colonial Exposition. In the passage,
Mukharii describes an encounter with a British family.
Once, I was sitting in one of the swellish restaurants at the Exhibition, glancing over a
newspaper At a neighboring table sat a respectable-looking family group
evidently from the country, from which furtive glances were occasionally thrown in
my direction. I thought I might do worse than having a little fun, if any could be made
out of the notice that was being taken of me... Perhaps, no symptom being visible in
my external appearance of the cannibalistic tendencies of my heart, or owing probably
to the notion that I must have by that time got over my partiality for human flesh, or
knowing at least that the place was safe enough against any treacherous spring which I
might take into my head to make upon them...the party... tried to attract my
attention towards them. The latter duty ultimately devolved upon the beauty of the
party, a pretty girl of about seventeen I heard her say, "Oh, how I wish to speak
to him?" Could I withstand such an appeal? I rose and asked— "Did you speak to
me, young lady?" The young lady soon got over her bashfulness, ... expressed
her astonishment at my knowledge of English, and complimented me for the
performance of the band brought from my country, viz., the West Indian band
composed of Negroes and Mulattos, which compliment made me wince a little, but
nevertheless I went on chattering for a quarter of an hour.
