Description
I first encountered my fellow-passengers on the Broomielaw in Glasgow. Thence we descended the Clyde in no familiar spirit, but looking askance on each other as on possible enemies. A few Scandinavians, who had already grown acquainted on the North Sea, were friendly and voluble over their long pipes; but among English speakers distance and suspicion ruled supreme. Robert Louis Stevenson, The Amateur Emigrant, Part I: From the Clyde to Sandy Hook (1879).
