Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pleasant Hours in Sunny Lands, in a Tour Around the World
One hundred wives has this old native king, all of whom, in return for his possessions up the river, are in royal style supported by the English government. The possibility of an enforced introduction to this motley and numerous household, proved too much for my peace of mind, and had driven me to the cages of wild animals and the surrounding country for. The few hours entertainment of enforced delay.
On the following morning, the early sun glanced through the heavy foliage with a power worthy of an Indian midsummer. Up and down, to and fro, ?oated the tall, light feather grass in the morning breeze, and made me long to be up and away.
