正如你在吉卜林的故事中看到的那样，印度和锡兰的白人社会一直是郊区社会。在加尔各答和西姆拉，在科伦坡和努瓦拉·埃利亚...欧洲人之间的关系建立在与他们在普特尼或佩克汉姆的关系中一样的势利、自命不凡和虚假的伪装上。生活的味道或气候受到了极大的影响，尽管人们可能并不总是意识到这一点，这既是因为热带郊区的这种周围空气，也是因为所有僧伽罗人和泰米尔人完全被社会排斥在我们的社会郊区之外。(17-18)
White society in India and Ceylon, as you can see in Kipling's stories, was always suburban. In Calcutta and Simla, in Colombo and Nuwara Eliya ... relations between Europeans rested on the same kind of snobbery, pretentiousness, andfalse pretensions as they did in Putney or Peckham.... [T]he flavour or climate of one's life was enormously affected, even though one might not always be aware of it, both by this circumambient air of a tropical suburbia and by the complete social exclusion from our social suburbia of all Sinhalese and Tamils. (17-18)
