The banks themselves depressed the explorers by their melancholy inhospitality. At times the river flowed past miles of long grey grass and swamp-land, inhabited and habitable only by hippopotami. At times a vast expanse of dreary mud flats stretched as far as the eye could see.

Moreover, my villa is remarkable for its beautiful situation, its fortress-like architecture, and please make a note of this its splendid inhospitality.

In the country it does not so much matter; but you must not let her identify herself with you, Lucy, in town." "In town!"

When Colonel Sheaffe, who had been absent at the time, was informed of this brutal inhospitality, he expressed the greatest indignation. He waited on Mrs.
The dogs of the village showed not only surprise, but also their teeth, on observing Attim among the newcomers, and they made for him, but a well-directed and sweeping cut from the whip of the watchful Anteek scattered them right and left, and rebuked their inhospitality.
We were looking for some human habitation where we might get food and shelter for the night; but we should have passed by that building, taking it to be deserted, had not we espied a woman's figure sitting out before it in the evening light.

"This is quite another greeting than we have met with yonder in the village. Pray, why do you live in such a bad neighbourhood?"
