"Tiadatha thought of Kipling, Wondered if he's ever been there Thought: "At least in Rue Egnatia East and West are met together." There were trams and Turkish beggars, Mosques and minarets and churches, Turkish baths and dirty cafés, Picture palaces and kan-kans: Daimler cars and Leyland lorries Barging into buffalo wagons, French and English private soldiers Jostling seedy Eastern brigands."
