Synopsis

The Yarkand Manner by Saki is a satirical short story that explores the peculiarities of human behavior through the lens of a fictional newspaper's editorial staff. The narrative begins with Sir Lulworth Quayne and his nephew discussing the phenomenon of migration among both animals and humans. 
They reflect on a recent trend where the entire staff of the Daily Intelligencer, a prominent London newspaper, embarks on an ambitious journey to Eastern Turkestan, seeking adventure and new perspectives.Upon their return, however, the staff adopts a mysterious and aloof demeanor known as the "Yarkand manner." This change leads to a decline in communication and accessibility, causing confusion and concern among their colleagues and the public.
