They visited four different ladies, by each of whom Mr.Park was presented with a bowl of milk and water.

They were very inquisitive, and examined his hair and skin with great attention, but affected to consider him as an inferior being, and knit their brows, and appeared to shudder when they looked at the whiteness of his skin.

All the seladies were remarkably corpulent, which the Moors esteem as the highest mark of beauty.

In the course of the excursion, the dress and appearance of Mr.Park afforded infinite mirth to the company, who galloped round him, exhibiting various feats of activity and horsemanship.
The Moors are very good horsemen, riding without fear, and their saddles being high before and behind, afford them a very secure seat, and should they fall, the country is so soft and sandy, that they are seldom hurt.

The king always rode upon a milk-white horse, with its tail dyed red.
