12 each man has the liberty to eat as much fruit as he pleases. Thej
13 go out in the mtTrning, and eat their kfnch(*on at the garden, and
14 spend the dav in walining about, eating fruit off the trees, smoking,
15 playing at backgammon and otl^r games, and Hsieninir to tlic singing
16 and playing of musicians, hired by a trifling subscription. Tlie peo-
17 ple of Caubul erven go on parties to tiie rich valleys of the Cohdau-
18 mim, as far a.s thirty miles from the city; these expeditions take
19 several days, but are repaid bv the beauty of the place, the innumer*
20 able gardens, and the extreme cheapness of fruit and provisions. In
21 Peshawer, the great resort is to the banks of the Budina rivulet, and
22 there the climate enables them to keep up this practice all the year ;
23 but at Caubul it in changed in winter into parties to himt wolves, ot
