AH this time left alone, he had been carrying on a con- 344 Forty Thousand Miles versation by means of animated signs, and they had been examining his watch, hat, and gloves with interest. In descending we were shown the Durbar hall, and one of .the living rooms — such a bare, dirty dungeon.
On returning to the room the usual ceremony was gone through of the presentation of baskets of fruit ; the garland of flowers being thrown over our heads, and the sticky paste of sandal-wood and otto of ros...es smeared on the hands by the host, and returned by the guest.
The zenana women are allowed very occasionally to drive out in a gharry with the shutters closed, and with muslin again hung before these, but none of the servants or men of the household are even then allowed to see them, save those only they have brought from their father's house. It takes a long time before a chief can be persuaded to allow his zenana to be visited by a European lady, and the present Maharajah refused entrance to his zenana to the Duchess of Connaught, because several' of the other rajput maha- rajahs have not allowed their zenanas to be seen by any European woman.
