The old woman soon brought in the tea, that is, a very large tea-pot of boiling water, a little tea-pot full of strong tea, two large earthenware cups, coarsely decorated, a fancy loaf, and a whole deep saucer of lump sugar. "I love tea at night," said he. "I walk much and drink it till daybreak. Abroad tea at night is inconvenient." "You go to bed at daybreak?" "Always; for a long while.
"I'm that already," said the captain. "I can promise nothing; but I'll do what I can." "You'll have to do more, if you're to get rid of me. How about money?" This abrupt question fairly staggered the captain, who broke out "Money! Didn't you drain me of every penny I had in London?" The fellow laughed coarsely. "What did you drain the regimental mess of, I should like to know?
There was an air about him, too, that told of strength other than that of the body. Guide he was, but leader he looked. "Say, Bright Sun," exclaimed Conway coarsely, "Dick Howard here thinks you're too friendly with the whites. It don't seem natural to him that one of your color should consort so freely with us."
Flake the fish into small particles and to each cupful of the fish add the same quantity of shredded lettuce, one coarsely chopped hard-boiled egg, three slices of minced cucumber and six chopped olives. Mix the ingredients well, moisten with either a mayonnaise or boiled dressing and serve in individual portions in nest of heart lettuce leaves.
They are not Indians, they are not negroes, they are "zamboes" a mixture of both. They are coarse-featured, and coarsely clad. The zambo enjoys his dolce far niente while his wife does his work what work there is, but that is not much.
They are an honest, primitive people, decently but very coarsely clad in rough woolen garments manufactured by themselves, and shaped much in the European style. On their feet they wear moccasins made of sheepskin. Whenever we met these pack-trains in any convenient place, the drivers stopped to have a talk with Zoega, often riding back a mile or two to enjoy the novelty of his conversation.

"I left my fellow-travellers at the entrance of the town where my sister lived. Now came the contrast. Somewhat hot, rather coarsely clad, and covered with the dust of a long summer's day, I was ushered into a little drawing-room, eighteen feet by twelve, as I was afterwards somewhat pompously informed. A flaunting carpet, green, red, and yellow, covered the floor.
He was a middle-sized man, coarsely clad as became his calling, with a coloured shirt protruding through the rent in his tattered coat. He was, as the inspector had said, extremely dirty, but the grime which covered his face could not conceal its repulsive ugliness.
"It's your nature to think too much," Fanny Assingham a trifle coarsely risked. This but quickened, however, in the Princess the act she reprobated. "That may be. But if I hadn't thought !" "You wouldn't, you mean, have been where you are?" "Yes, because they, on their side, thought of everything BUT that. They thought of everything but that I might think."
