Grand Transasiatic Express Through China Frontier
A fragmented travelogue describes a late night rail delay as vans detach, repairs occur, and guards transfer a Persian countess and a mortuary corpse. Russian, Chinese, and Mongol officials scrutinize papers at frontier stations while Baron baronial antics and a suspicious lord Varusktar raise tension aboard the Grand Transasiatic. The narrator notes mood, characters, and distant landscapes as the journey proceeds toward Kachgar and Pekin.
