Winter in IndiaFb&c Limited, 2015 M06 2 - 228 pages Excerpt from Winter in India Again we are on the move, and this time for a more extended tour even than that which we so much enjoyed through Egypt and Syria. We have taken eight first-class and two second-class return tickets in the P. and O. steamers to India. On the 2nd November, 1881, our old friend the Wave took us across the Channel; the Belgians politely passed our baggage at the frontiers without examination; and we remained all night at the Grand Hotel, in Brussels, situated between the two railway stations, thus avoiding the usual climb to the top of the hill.
