Further over the Parsi men in almost European kit with their women folk sit in lines of victorias and broughams, and they are silhouetted against the glow of lamps on the lawn of the Yacht Club, under which the white women from the far North-West listen to music and have tea and iced drinks through straws.
There it was maintained and developed orally as well as in a written form. The most competent among the Persian historians who employed the Arabic language in those times turned to the Parsi clergy for information. Of this we have first-hand proof in their own works and in the quotations from other works preserved in later authors.
In the two minutes occupied by the drive, Smith told the Scotsman merely that he had come from Constantinople and was proceeding immediately to Penang on important business. "It took ye a week, I suppose?" "No, I left there rather less than twenty-four hours ago." "Man, you astonish me; fair take my breath away. But here we are." He alighted at a store kept by a Parsi.

Altogether it was a very A.1. sight the colour Veronesque; the troops, rajahs, beautiful ladies in exquisite latest dresses, and the variety of type, European and native, made a splendid subject for a historical picture.
They are wholly modern concepts, the outgrowth of those Western ideas whose influence upon the Moslem world I shall now discuss. The small Parsi communities of India, centring in Bombay, are the sole surviving representatives of Zoroastrianism.
