Following the Equator
Part 7

CHAPTER LXV
4/17

Not allowed to drink; 2s per hour for one person; 3s for two; 3d for a course--one person.
The chameleon in the hotel court.

He gums his tongue first.

He is always pious, in his looks.

And pious and thankful both, when Providence or one of us sends him a fly.
