Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
94
I
found
a
convenient
and
delightful
lodge
prepared
for
my
reception.
It
was
small,
but
sufficient
for
comfort.
There
were
no
servants
attached
to
it,
nor
was
there
need
of
any.
All
necessary
food,
vegetables,
fruits,
milk,
honey,
&c.
were
sent
daily,
and
placed
where
I
could
conveniently
help
myself.
I
soon
learned
that
these
supplies
were
voluntary
contributions,
and
that
the
people
took
their
turns
in
the
privilege
of
administering
to
the
wants
of
the
stranger
in
their
land.
Surui
was
accommodated
in
a
similar
manner,
close
by
my
dwelling.
He
passed
a
great
part
of
the
time
with
me,
acting
as
linguist,
and
continuing
to
teach
me
the
language
of
the
country,
in
which
I
was
still
very
imperfect.
The
day
after
my
arrival,
I
was
honoured
with
an
audience
by
the
Best
Man
of
this
admirable
people.
I
inquired
of
Surui
as
to
the
etiquette
to
be
observed
on
going
to
court--whether
I
must
uncover
my
head
as
in
Europe,
or
my
feet
after
the
manner
of
the
Asiatics?
whether
I
must
bow
my
head
to
the
ground,
making
a
right
angle
of
my
body,
and
walk
backwards
on
retiring,
as
in
the
court
of
Great
Britain,
or
flounder
in
flat
on
my
belly,
after
the
fashion
of
the
Siamese?
whether
I
was
to
stand
or
sit?
if
to
sit,
whether
on
the
ground,
or
cross-legged,
or
on
my
haunches
like
a
monkey?
Surui
could
not,
or
would
not,
understand
me,
and
I
concluded
he
wished
the
Best
Man
to
see
what
the
manners
of
an
external
would
be,
untaught
in
the
customs
of
the
country.
I
therefore
determined
to
give
them
a
specimen
of
the
deportment
of
a
republican
freeman,
and
conduct
myself
with
the
easy
respectful
politeness
of
a
gentleman
and
citizen
of
the
world.
