To compare Abyssinia with another self-governing, semi- civilized race, a European in Arabia would be followed about by a crowd of small boys, who would surround his camp, and sing vulgar verses about him. Yet I was able to walk through the whole length of Abyssinia in a costume which, in my own country, even, would have caused some comment, and I have never heard a single rude thing said about me by any Abyssinian small boy. On the contrary, every child greets a stranger and his own elders in ...a courteous and respectful manner, which might well be imitated by their white brethren. As regards their form of address, they perhaps carry politeness and punctiliousness to too great an extreme.
