¿La Signora no tiene derecho a hacer esto ¿dijo la señorita Bartlett¿, ningún derecho. Nos prometió habitaciones al sur con una panorámica conjunta; en su lugar, aquí tenemos habitaciones al lado norte y dan a un patio y bien alejadas. ¡Oh, Lucy! ¿¡Y además es una cockney! ¿dijo Lucy, que se había entristecido por el inesperado acento de la Signorä. Se diría que estamos en Londres. Miró las dos hileras de ingleses sentados junto a la mesa; la hilera de botellas blancas de agua y rojas de vino que corrían entre sus manos; los retratos de la última reina y del último poeta laureado que colgaban detrás de los británicos, pesadamente vestidos; el cartel de la Iglesia anglicana (reverendo Cuthbert Eager, M. A. Oxon), que constituían la única decoración de la pared. ¿Charlotte, ¿no sientes también tú que bien podríamos encontrarnos en Londres? A duras penas puedo creer que todo este tipo de cosas distintas estén precisamente fuera. Supongo que se debe a que una se siente tan cansada.

La casa es vieja, pequeña, de ladrillo rojo y, en conjunto, una delicia. Apenas cabemos y no sé lo que va a pasar cuando mañana llegue Paul, el hijo menor. A derecha e izquierda del vestíbulo están el comedor y el saloncito. El mismo vestíbulo es prácticamente una habitación más. Una puerta da a la escalera que sube por una especie de túnel al piso de arriba. En el piso de arriba hay tres dormitorios en hilera y, sobre cada dormitorio, una buhardilla. A decir verdad, la casa no acaba ahí, pero eso es todo lo que se ve: nueve ventanas según se mira desde el jardín.

A Passage To India, ' the greatest novel of all time, depicts a scenario set in pre-independence India, when British restrictions were obeyed. The premise centers around the question of whether Indians and Brits can ever be friends. Through the friendship between Aziz and Fielding, Forster utilizes this subject as a framework to explore the general issue of Britain's governmental domination of India on a more intimate level.
