taken with a grain of salt:

takes off his cap to the honorable as

knees with his hands, draws his breath
audibly, and delivers himself of an an

Your most honorable eXcellencies
and most augustly deigning-to- be-
pleased ones, l hope you will pardon
this creature of mud for having been

gracious and superior ones, to show
your augustly blessed tickets; after
which l beg you will honorably deiSn
to grind and crush me, who am but

The passengers, ceasing for mo-
ment from their rice and chop-stlcks,
bow profoundly in return, rub their
knees with their hands, suck in their
breaths with the peculiar wnistling
sound which is the special expression
of a japanese greeting, tumble among
their loose layers of clothes. and ulti-
