life that i have been important enough for this to happen to me i was sub divisional police officer of the town and in an aimless petty kind of way anti european feeling was very bitter no one had the guts to raise a riot but if a european woman went through the bazaars alone somebody would probably spit betel juice over her dress as a police officer i was an obvious target and was baited whenever it seemed safe to do so when a nimble burman tripped me up on the football field and the referee another burman looked the other way the crowd yelled with hideous laughter this happened more than once in the end the sneering yellow faces of young men that met me everywhere the insults hooted after me when i was at a safe distance got badly on my nerves the young buddhist priests were the worst of all there were several thousands of them in the town and none of them seemed to have anything to do except stand on street corners and jeer at europeans rate this book 4 0 1 vote next george orwell
