The Malays are passionately fond of horse-racing, and the crowd was fully half Malay: there were dozens of carts crowded with the bright-eyed women, in petticoats of every most brilliant colour, white muslin jackets, and gold daggers in their great coils of shining black hair. All most 'anstandig', as they always are. Their pleasure is driving about en famille; the men have no separate amusements.
The use of the words anstandig and fein by a woman who spoke very good German were characteristic. She could recognise an 'Anstandigkeit' not of Berlin. I need not say that the Germans are generally liked by the coloured people. Choslullah was astonished and Pleased at my talking German; he evidently had a preference for Germans, and put up, wherever he could, at German inns and 'publics'.
