Synopsis
Excerpt from Dragon's Blood
Parisian gowns floated past on stout Italian forms; hulking third-class Australians, in shirt sleeves, slouched along toward their mail-boat, hugging whiskey bottles, baskets of oranges, baskets of dates; British soldiers, khaki-clad for India, raced galloping donkeys through the crowded and dusty street. It was mail-day, and gayety flowed among the tables, under the thin acacias, on a high tide of Amer Picon.
