They dress their hair carefully, and regard it as being more ornamental when it is very black. They wash it with water in which has been boiled the bark of a tree called gogo. They anoint it with aljonjoli oil, prepared with musk, and other perfumes. All are very careful of their teeth, which from a very early age they file and render even, with stones and iron.
Your assured friend Laurence Madoc. Another briefe relation concerning the late conquest and exceeding great riches of the cities and prouinces Tombuth and Gogo, written from Morocco the 30 August 1594, to M. Anthony Dassel marchant of London aforesayd.
But between the children's meals, their shoes and hats and lessons, Alice was a busy woman, and she realized that her responsibilities must increase rather than lessen in the next few years. When Mary was married, and Gogo finishing college, and Martha ready to be entertained and chaperoned by her big sister, then she and George might take Kittiwake and run away; but not now.
"An instant later the great crocodile had crawled over the edge of the precipice, and a moment afterwards Gogo had followed his example. It seemed as if he were in the air an hour, but suddenly his horse's hoofs touched earth again; the animal never fell into the terrible abyss, but merely tore up a piece of the turf where he had stood.
I understood then the danger of "combinations," and that it was not always good to ridicule M. Gogo. What reassured me, however, was that never having taken any part in the deliberations of the Territorial, I had no share in their dealings and intrigues.

Alice's reproachful look would silence her daughter; she would put an arm about her son. "What is it to-night, dear?" "Oh, nothing much!" Gogo would fling up his dark head impatiently. "Just Tubby and Sam?" "I guess so," gruffly. "But Daddy feels " Alice would stop short in perplexity. Why shouldn't he go? She had known Mrs.

Timbuctoo has never been the real capital of a negro empire, but, on account of its becoming the seat of Mahommedan learning and worship, it enjoyed greater respect than Gogo, which was the real capital; and, on account of its greater proximity to Morocco, the little commerce which remained in that distracted region was here concentrated.
