"Oh, isn't she dood, and don't you love her, papa?" she said, while Guy replied: "Yes, it was certainly very kind in her, and generous. No other little girl in town will have such a box as this."

"What was your filly worth?" "A hundred dollars is what I asked for her," replied Obediah. "Wait a moment!" and Dood rushed into the house, from whence he soon returned, holding some gold in his hand. "Here's the price of your filly; and hereafter let there be a pleasantness between us."

"What do they call the place?" I asked. "Dood Drenk," he said "the Drink of the Dead!" North-East of Swakopmund, and somewhere where the line that runs the copper ore down from Otari has a station called Omaruru, there stands a mass of huge table-topped mountains.
