This sentence is original and was not derived from translation.

In a Club, though there mayn’t be a soul of your acquaintance in the room, you have always the chance of watching strangers, and speculating on what is going on within those tents and curtains of their souls, their coats and waistcoats. This is a never-failing sport. Indeed I am told there are some Clubs in the town where nobody ever speaks to anybody. They sit in the coffee-room, quite silent, and watching each other.

➜ #13171998喺一個 Club 入面，雖然房入面未必有你熟人嘅靈魂，但你總有機會睇住陌生人，同埋猜測佢哋靈魂、外套同背心嘅帳篷同窗簾入面發生緊啲咩事。呢個係一項永遠唔會失敗嘅運動。的確，我聽人講鎮上有啲俱樂部係冇人同任何人講嘢嘅。佢哋坐喺咖啡室，幾靜，互相望住對方。
