Jun 28: Darwin's VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE

Pages from the Pampas Book of Etiquette

A very definite etiquette is followed by a stranger on the vast

If the stranger is on horseback, he does not alight until
invited to do so by his host. Once in the house, the stranger must
converse a while before asking shelter for the night.
