Strana 49 - The fig-tree, not that kind for fruit renown'd, But such as, at this day, to Indians known, In Malabar or Decan spreads her arms, Branching so broad and long, that in the ground The bended twigs take root, and daughters grow About the mother tree, a pillar'd shade, High overarch'd, and echoing walks between...
Strana 60 - Directly the woman feels the birth-pangs she informs her husband, who immediately takes some of her clothes, puts them on, places on his forehead the mark which the women usually place on theirs, retires into a dark room, where there is only a very dim lamp, and lies down on the bed, covering himself with a long cloth.
Strana 42 - SHE, My wife has returned from your hospital cured. Provided males are allowed at your bungalow, I would like to do you the honor of presenting myself there this afternoon. But I will not try to repay you; vengeance belongeth unto God. Yours noticeably, NO.
Strana 85 - A caste is almost invariably endogamous in the sense that a member of the large circle denoted by the common name may not marry outside that circle ; but within this circle there are usually a number of smaller circles, each of which is also endogamous.
Strana 252 - as a tangled jungle of disorderly superstitions, ghosts and demons, demi-gods and deified saints; household gods, tribal gods, local gods, universal gods, with their countless shrines and temples, and the din of their discordant rites...
Strana 500 - Malabar Hill, there is a rock upon the surface of which there is a natural crevice which communicates with a cavity opening below. This place is used by the Gentoos as a purification of their sins, which they say is effected by their going in at the opening below and emerging at the cavity above —
Strana 276 - Rack'1 (Brandy made of Blubber, or Carvil? by the Portugals, because it swims always in a Blubber, as if nothing else were in it ; but touch it, and it stings like Nettles ; the latter, because sailing on the Waves it bears up like a Portugal Carvil : It is, being taken, a Gelly, and distilled causes those that take it to be Fools), and Foul Women may be reckoned.
Strana 138 - Live like yourself was soon my lady's word; And lo! two puddings smoked upon the board. Asleep and naked as an Indian lay, An honest factor stole a gem away : He pledged it to the knight, the knight had wit, So kept the diamond, and the rogue was bit.
Strana 531 - It is composed of buffalo horn, fitted to the hand, and pointed with four knobs, resembling very sharp knuckles, and corresponding to their situation, with a fifth of greater prominence, at the end nearest the little finger, and at right angles with the other four. This instrument, properly placed, would enable a man of ordinary strength to cleave open the head of his adversary at a blow : but the fingers being introduced through the weapon, it is fastened across them at an equal distance between...
Strana 371 - Hospital, and a venerable Old Man with a white Beard, keeping them in a box amongst Cotton, very diligently tended them with his spectacles on his Nose, giving them milk to eat with a bird's feather, because they were so little that as yet they could eat nothing else ; and as he told us, he intended when they were grown up to let them go free whither they pleas'd.
