An old wooden sirih-hox, brown and battered, a spittoon or two of coarse green earthenware, some more plates 196 'SINCE THE BEGINNING' and cups, and one or two heaps of soiled clothes lay scattered about the floor in hopeless confusion. A large-limbed, heavy-looking native girl, a sister of Mat Sam's ailing wife, occupied the centre of the room, sitting cross-legged on the matted floor, with a tiny scrap of brown humanity, the sick baby, in her arms. It was wailing piteously, and it rocked its ...little head ceaselessly, but very feebly, from side to side, and the sound of its cry went straight to the soft heart of the English girl. The atmosphere of the hut was stifling, and the suggestions of half a hundred contending odours made the air heavy and sickening, but Cecily had no thought for her own discomfort as she threw herself upon her knees at the side of the sitting woman and took the baby tenderly from her. There were three other children in the hut, the boy by the fire- place, and two equally dirty little girls who, with the maternal instincts of their sex, sat looking at the sick baby out of wide compassionating eyes.
