Great Regulars: The more I saw of my fellow-passengers,

the less I was tempted to the lyric note. Comparatively few of the men were below thirty; many were married, and encumbered with families; not a few were already up in years; and this itself was out of tune with my imaginations, for the ideal emigrant should certainly be young.

from Daily Times: Purple Patch: The emigrant --Robert Louis Stevenson
