Excerpt from The Turnstile of Night IN a long, low-ceilinged room, where hung a brown curtain of opium smoke, three men sat by a small brazier of red smouldering charcoal. Two were on a divan, bending forward, their elbows on their knees, their heads close together. These were Englishmen, one extraordinarily handsome, though his rippling bronze hair was streaked with silver; the other stout, white-headed, of the type that the Eastern sun burns red, with a mouth that seemed ready to smile, eyes on the point of twinkling, even in moments of seriousness.
