In the invented town of Kyauktada, in the last exhausted stretch of British Burma, Flory drinks at the European Club with men who despise the country he loves, and he despises them back in silence, because saying so aloud is the one thing a pukka sahib may never do.
You've got to be a pukka sahib or die, in this country.
