Having heard much of a country-seat of the Rajah's called Gunong Sari, I took the opportunity to ask permission to visit it and shoot a few birds there which he immediately granted.

I then thanked him, and we took our leave.
An hour after, his son came to visit Mr.Carter accompanied by about a hundred followers, who all sat on the ground while he came into the open shed where Manuel was skinning birds.

After some time he went into the house, had a bed arranged to sleep a little, then drank some wine, and after an hour or two had dinner brought him from the Gusti's house, which he ate with eight of the principal priests and princes, he pronounced a blessing over the rice and commenced eating first, after which the rest fell to.

They rolled up balls of rice in their hands, dipped them in the gravy and swallowed them rapidly, with little pieces of meat and fowl cooked in a variety of ways.

A boy fanned the young Rajah while eating.
