Now that it is too late.
I wonder if the 'dorian', if that is the name of it, is another superstition, like the peepul tree.

There was a great abundance and variety of tropical fruits, but the dorian was never in evidence.

It was never the season for the dorian.

It was always going to arrive from Burma sometime or other, but it never did.

By all accounts it was a most strange fruit, and incomparably delicious to the taste, but not to the smell.
