On landing at Bombay, I learned that my corps had advanced through the passes, and was already deep in the enemy’s country.
Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study In Scarlet
Especially after the rains do they screen what passes below, but at all times, even when scorched or leafless, they glorify the city to the English people who inhabit the rise, so that new-comers cannot believe it to be as meagre as it is described, and have to be driven down to acquire disillusionment.
E. M. Forster, A Passage to India
