They are for ever paying visits to the refreshment-room, and drink vast quantities of champagne, of which they pretend not to know the exact genius, and silly call it " eau gazeuse. " The English papers talk of Turkish pre- 19* 222 IN AND ABOUND STAMBOUL. Judices; generally speaking they have none, either religious or political, unless it suits them. The word "prejudice" means their dislike of anything which will prevent their living in splendor on the miser...y and oppression of the people. They drink champagne and brandy, and defy the laws of the Koran, com fortably enough, in secret. I must except your real Turkish gentleman, a strict Mussulman, who is sel dom heard of now, and never mentioned in the same breath with "reform" or European manners. It is curious that among the Turks the rich represent the bad ; the poor seem almost invariably to be honest, temperate, patient, hard-working, and religious. A poor man here has a strikingly noble countenance ; you mav know rich ones only too frequently by the sensuality and ferocity of their expression.
