When the men went there to 'do it up' they found the interior of the house in a state of indescribable filth: the ceilings discoloured with smoke and hung with cobwebs, the wallpapers smeared and black with grease, the handrails and the newel posts of the staircase were clammy with filth, and the edges of the doors near the handles were blackened with greasy dirt and finger-marks.
They are so lean and haggard and yellow that their bones seem to be piercing through their discoloured skins." "The Palio! I think Signor Lucis is coming to Siena to see it," Olive said. "Is that the man your cousin Gemma is to marry?" the dressmaker asked curiously. "I had heard that she was engaged, but one hears so many things. Do you like her?"

Robb shook his head with a doubtful smile. "Guess not, thanks. What's good enough for my chief is good enough for me." The trapper slowly unfolded an antelope hide pouch of native workmanship. He emptied out a little pile of greenish-brown flakes into the palm of his hand. It was curious, dusty-looking stuff, suggestive of discoloured bran.

Some had perfect Malayan features, but none seen on this occasion appeared to practice betel-chewing a remarkable circumstance, since the men who on our former visit came off to the ship, then only about fifteen miles to the north-west, had their teeth discoloured.
