It is one I hate hate HATE! There will be TWO cases of 'ginger' to go away some day instead of ONE that is all! Said, yalla!" "Your pwrimitive passions will wruin us"... The silvery voice grew even more silvery: "Do you quarrel with me, Ho-Pin, my friend?" "This is England, not Burma! Gianapolis"... "Ah! Whisper WHISPER it to HIM, and"...
Whilst they were in the same station in Burma he borrowed a good deal of money though, really, since Major Basil had no particular vices, it was difficult to know why he wanted it.
"For a moment I was deceived as you were, and believed them to be the tracks of a large bird; but I have seen the footprints of apes before now, and a marmoset, though an American variety, I believe, is not unlike some of the apes of Burma." "I am still in the dark," I said. "It is pure hypothesis," continued Smith, "but here is the theory in lieu of a better one it covers the facts.
He forgets most of it, he says, though he remembered it when he was a child. Sometimes this belief leads to lawsuits of a peculiarly difficult nature. In 1883, two years before the annexation of Upper Burma, there was a case that came into the local Court of the oil district, which depended upon this theory of transmigration. Opposite Yenangyaung there are many large islands in the river.
The man had nothing when he married her, but he was hardworking and honest and good-tempered, and they kept themselves going comfortably enough. But he had one fault: every now and then he would drink too much. This was in Lower Burma, where liquor shops are free to Burmans. In Upper Burma no liquor can be sold to them.

Pegu was the centre from which Pali Buddhism spread to upper Burma in the eleventh century and it probably performed the same service for Siam later.
"But you will have plenty to live comfortably upon now, Meinik. For, after all that you have done for me, of course I shall arrange for you to have a sum that will keep you in comfort." Meinik shook his head. "Burma is a bad country, master. After living with the English, I would not go back to live under the king's officers, in any case.
The problem is then at once narrowed; and it is simply unreasonable to look for Havila in India, or for Pison in the province of Burma, as one learned author does! As regards the allegorical interpretations, they are too extravagant for serious notice. Souls, angels, human passions and motives, are supposed to be represented by towns, rivers, and countries.
To these memorable chapters of Asian Bahá’í history another was soon added, on the morrow of the ascension of the Center of Bahá’u’lláh’s Covenant, and during the initial epoch of the Formative Age of the Faith, distinguished by the rise of the Administrative Order and the erection of its pillars in the cradle of that Faith, in ‘Iráq, in India, Pákistán and Burma and in the Antipodes.
