Nobody seems to care much how they dress, and without being exactly countrified in their apparel, the Sydneyites succeed in looking pre-eminently dowdy. The water-supply is not always quite as plentiful as could be wished; but on the other hand, there is an excellent system of deep drainage, and the eye is not offended by open sewers, as in Melbourne.
You can see that bread-and-butter never enters into the cares of these people; it is only the cake which is sometimes endangered. or has not sufficient plums in it. I suppose that nearly everyone has heard of the beauties of Sydney Harbour 'our harbour, as the Sydneyites fondly call it. If you want a description of them read Trollope's book. He has not exaggerated an iota on this point.
Sometimes you seem to be in the Hades of Thieves. I see Diogenes prying among you with his perpetual fruitless lantern. What must you be willing by this time to give for the sight of an honest man! You must almost have forgotten how we look. And tell me, what your Sydneyites do? are they th v*ng all day long? Merciful heaven! what property can stand against such a depredation!
