I was not near enough to distinguish whether the women were beautiful or not; all I could make out was that one was young and fatter than the other. Amongst aborigines of every clime fatness goes a great way towards beauty. The youngest and fattest was the last to decamp. These were the first natives I had seen upon this expedition; no others appeared while I was by myself.
One after another, the little vanity-bags came forth, and Peter, gazing in wonder, thought that Mount Olympus had turned into a beauty parlor. Peter rose again and strolled and watched the goddesses, big and little, old and young, fat and thin, pretty and ugly and it seemed to him the fatter and older and uglier they were, the more intently they gazed into the little hand-mirrors.
He then tackled me, but I acted foolish, 'fessing up that I couldn't count a hundred. Finally he rode around to a quiet little fellow, with pox-marks on his face, who always rode on the point, kept his horses fatter than anybody, rode a San José saddle, and was called Californy. The boss asked him to help him count the herd.
"Sit by the stove. Your hands are like ice," she said. "Yes, I am usually cold now; I don't know why." Lucy then saw a curious change in her face. The fine meanings were not in it now. It was fatter coarser; the hair was dead, the eyes moved sluggishly, like the glass eyes of a doll. "You are always cold? Your blood is thin, perhaps. You are overtired, dear.

Sheppard drops his little dogma as to personal immaculacy, and allows other people a trifle more freedom, his flock will be fatter, woollier, and quieter than ever they have been since he came. In 1827, a little school was opened in a building at the corner of Gildow-street, abutting upon Marsh-lane, in this town.

That parrot one, I believe, is one of my great, great, great, great aunts. She looks rather like you, Mary not as you look now but as you looked when you came here. Now you are a great deal fatter and better looking." "So are you," said Mary, and they both laughed. They went to the Indian room and amused themselves with the ivory elephants.
The animal is tamed here; he is fatter than the wild one, but he hante the spirit. "You have seen-Old Clay in a pastur, a racin' about, free from harness, head and tail up, snortin', cavortin', attitudinisin' of himself. Mane flowin' in the wind, eye-ball startin' out, nostrils inside out a'most, ears pricked up.
Then followed a conversation with Haji Wali, whom age he was 77 "had only made a little fatter and a little greedier," and the specious old trickster promised to accompany the expedition. As usual Burton began with a preliminary canter, visiting Moilah, Aynunah Bay, Makna and Jebel Hassani, where he sketched, made plans, and collected metalliferous specimens.
