From Remote People, by Evelyn Waugh
THE SALAD
"I should find, they said, that their food would make me rather ill. At first they suffered continuously from dysentery and nettle-rash; also the mosquito-curtains were too short and full of holes. I should probably get a touch of malaria. The salad, they said, helping themselves profusely, was full of typhus."
From British Empire, Chapter One
