 A Friend appears unexpectedly, and our Travellers spend a Disturbed Night.
 
Whatever ethereal persons may say to the contrary, there can be no doubt whatever that the consumption of food is an intellectual treat, inasmuch as it sets the body free from the cravings of appetite, and by stimulating1 those nervous influences which convey vigour2 and vitality3 to the brain, not only becomes the direct cause of physical gratification, but induces that state of mind which is most favourable4 to the development of the interesting creations of fancy and the brilliant coruscations of imagination.
 
We might pursue this subject further did time and space permit; but our objection to “skipping” is so great, that we shrink from giving the reader even a shadow of excuse for doing so. Moreover we dread5 the assault of the hypercritical reader, who will infallibly object that it is not “the consumption of food,” but the resulting mental effect which is the “intellectual treat.” As if we did not know that! “But,” we would retort with scorn, “can any cause be separated from its effect without bringing about, so to speak, the condition of nonentity6?”
 
Passing to the subject which gave rise to these erratic7 thoughts, we have to relate that the whole party, entertainers and entertained, did ample justice to the rice, beef, chicken and marrow-bones, after which Hockins wafted8 the natives to the seventh heaven of delight and wonder by means of his flageolet. It was very late that night before they retired10 to rest. It was later still before they went to sleep.
