GOYAZ CITY 
which Goyaz City lay, we entered the capital of Goyaz. 
At the sound of our mules upon the pavement, timid men, 
timid women, and children cautiously peeped from each 
window through the half-closed Venetian blinds. We 
had only to turn round to peep at them, and with terrified 
squeals the hidden creatures banged and bolted the win¬ 
dows. The sight of a stranger in Goyaz was apparently 
an event. Whether we were expected or not, I do not 
know, but the whole population seemed to be hiding 
behind the tiny windows to look at us. The few who 
were caught in the street seemed as if they wanted to 
bow but had not the courage to do it. Indeed, their 
timidity was intensely amusing. Some, more courageous, 
gave a ghastly grin, displaying rows of irregular teeth 
in a terrible condition of decay.
