Note XXIX-34 — Chapter XXIX · THE PEOPLE OF HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA. 1800-1887.
Reading edition
The vice is not prevalent among the Indians who live apart in their villages. During the bathing season in Amatitlan, for instance, the time is spent in gambling, and intrigues between the sexes, and among the visitors are always a number of veritable sharpers. The native generally bears his losses with hardly a sign of impatience. Dunlop's Cent. Am., 152-3; Stephens' Trav. Cent. Am., i. 261, 298-301; Boddam Whetham, Across Cent. Am., 136-8.
