" It was now already three o'clock in the afternoon, and we had still several visits to make to the councillors of state of the first and second rank. Accordingly we left forthwith, saluted as we went by the officers of the great imperial guard, and made our round a-foot. The presents had been carried beforehand to every one's house by our clerks. They consisted of some Chinese, Bengalese, and other silk stuff's, some linen, black serge, some yards of black cloth, gingangs, pelangs, and a flask... of Tent wine. " We were everywhere received by the stewards and secretaries with extraordinary civility, and treated with tea, tobacco, and sweetmeats as handsomely as the little time we had to spare would allow. The rooms where we were admitted to audience were filled behind the screens and lattices with crowds of spectators, who would fain have obliged us to show them some of our European customs and ceremonies, but could obtain nothing ex- cepting only a short dance at Bingo's house (who came home himself a back way), and a song from each of us at the youngest councillor's of state.
