Examples

  • The convenient term _quadroon_, for instance, instead of "four annas in the rupee," is quite unknown; the consequence is that every one -- from Anna Maria de Souza, the "Portuguese" cook, a nobleman on whose cheek the best shoe-blacking would leave a white mark, to pretty Miss Fitzalan Courtney, of the Bombay Fencibles, who is as white as an Italian princess -- is called an "Eurasian."
