But such a Carcase 'twas deliver me so rivell'd, lean and rough a Canvas Bag of wooden Ladles were a better Bed-fellow. L. Ful. Now though I know that nothing is more distant than I from such a Monster yet this angers me. Death! cou'd you love me and submit to this? Gay.

It was evident that the visits of giaours to this place had been few and far between. The shepherds returned our salutation with some hesitation, while their ladles dropped into the soup, and their gaze became fixed on our huge helmets, our dogskin top-coats, and abbreviated nether garments.
