At ten o Clock with pomp and great parade he walks preceeded by his cavalcade A Dozen paces to his Palanquean Which bearers lift the moment he is in.
His moving visits then proceeds to pay Whilst two Chubdars, go first to clear the way And so till two o Clock goes the day
Now he sits down to tine quite at his ease (For Indians sit & dress just as they please) A table laid with greatest skill & taste with meat sufficient for a city feast, Which then removed, the claret is produced And us before the Hookah introduced. In easy posture he lifts up his feet All the Ladies still at table sit Strangers would think it rude before a woman But custom in Madrass hath made it common At four o Clock, all company retire His servants then take off the slight attire, Fatigued with business down to rest he lies Till 8 o Clock the usual hour to rise Then with a cup of tea, he is refresh'd And smoaks a Chillum, while his hair is dressd This is in general the supper hour He smoaks, eats, drinks & et cetera as before
