I was pleased by the nonchalance of this woman, and the perfectly national manner she had preserved after so many years of contact with all kinds of people.
The two women, when I left the boat, made me presents of Indian work, such as travellers value, and the manner of the two was characteristic of their different nations.

The Indian brought me hers, when I was alone, looked bashfully down when she gave it, and made an almost sentimental little speech.

The Dutch girl brought hers in public, and, bridling her short chin with a self-complacent air, observed she had _bought_ it for me.

But the feeling of affectionate regard was the same in the minds of both.
Island after island we passed, all fairly shaped and clustering in a friendly way, but with little variety of vegetation.

In the afternoon the weather became foggy, and we could not proceed after dark.
