But there is a quiet elderly gentleman in long petticoats, and a straw hat, tied under his chin, who precedes our cortege armed with a fan, and before a wave of tliis fluttering emblem of autho- rity the enormous crowd falls back with far more alacrity and readiness than an English mob under similar circumstances could be got to do through the agency of Sir Richard Mayne and No Beggars or Drunkards. I6i his legions, even if backed by a troop of Life Gruards. Nor do they, like other mobs, close ...in our rear ; but, remaining squatted at their doors, they watch us out of sight. In no case, whether escorted or alone, did we meet with a single in- stance of rudeness or incivility on the part of the people; nor did we, during the whole course of our journey, meet either a beggar or a drunken man. * The general appearance of the populace is one of great prosperity and contentment ; their houses are remarkably clean and in good repair ; their patches of garden well cultivated, and never without regard to ornament ; and if they are not overburdened with clothing, it is evident that their will and not their poverty consents to fore- go this luxury.
