Touched as Charlotte was by the letter of St. Ignatius before alluded to, she claimed equal self-devotion, and from as high a motive, for some of the missionaries of the English Church sent out to toil and to perish on the poisonous African coast, and wrote as an "imitation," "Lettre d'un Missionnaire, Sierra Leone, Afrique." Something of her feeling, too, appears in the following letter:
This work bears a high character for veracity and exactness; and is very minute in its account of the casts and religions of India. Prefixed to it is a short critical notice of travellers who preceded him, written with great judgment and candour. Voyage de Paul Lucas au Levant. Paris, 1704. 2 vols. 12mo. Voyage de Paul Lucas, dans la Grèce, l'Asie Mineure, la Macedoine, et l' Afrique.
At the time I gave neither an extraordinary nor a particular damn about Monsieur le Surveillant, nor indeed about "l'autre americain" alias myself. As for Afrique and The Cook there was nothing too good for me at this time. I asked the latter's permission to cut wood, and was not only accepted as a sawyer, but encouraged with assurances of the best coffee there was, with real sugar dedans.
You became cognisant of Afrique gradually. You were in the cour, staring at ooze and dead trees, when a figure came striding from the kitchen lifting its big wooden feet after it rhythmically, unwinding a particoloured scarf from its waist as it came, and singing to itself in a subdued manner a jocular, and I fear, unprintable ditty concerning Paradise.
Its specialty being politics, in which case Afrique has had the inestimable advantage of observing without being observed until La Ferte; whereupon Afrique goes on uninterruptedly observing, recognising that a significant angle of observation has been presented to him gratis.
Then the song began again, a little more insane than before; the laughter a little wilder.... "You can't stop her," Afrique said admiringly. "A great voice Mademoiselle has, eh? So, as I was saying, the national debt being conditioned "
Castanado had laid her hands tightly to her face. Yet now she smilingly dropped them, saying: "Seraphine Marcel please to pazz around that cake an' wine. Well, I su'pose there are yet in the worl' in Afrique Asia even Europe several kin' of cuztom mo' wicked than that. And still I'm sorry that ever tranzpire. But, Mr. Chezter, if you'll resume?" Hardy's incitements were no longer whispers.
