Ofterdingen and Kropotkin

biosphere 0.95

Palanquins were provided with mattresses and cushions, and most travellers stocked them with supplies of food and drink. [...] The bearers were both highly skilled and militant (there was a general strike of palanquin bearers in Calcutta in 1828), and more than one high-ranking but overzealous British officer found himself abandoned by the roadside by bearers whom he had, most unwisely, abused for the discomforts of his journey.
