"Bar-bara, why that you told me was the name of his mother and his sister. Which of them is buried?" "Neither, O Asika. It was another lady who loved him very much and wanted to marry him, and that was why he ran away to Africa. But now she is dead and buried." "Are all women in England called Barbara, Jeekie?" "Yes, O Asika, Barbara means woman."
