One of my Black-but-Comelys said, on hearing that a woman had twins: 'If it had been me I would have put my fingers round the throat of one of them and killed it. The woman who made this speech I had always looked upon as the gentlest and kindliest of creatures.
I was up too late to go with the Black-but-Comelys, and as the sun was hot I went further round the point and bathed in the shade. And the bee-bites must be those horribly irritating pimples I have across my back. The cause of illness settled to her satisfaction, Bootha asked how to cure it.
She asked one of my Black-but-Comelys, a very stalwart young woman, to help her lift one of these posts into the garden where she wanted to erect it. The girl took hold of one end, but in a little while dropped it, said it was too heavy. Old Bootha got furious. 'I get the spirits to help me, she said, and started a little sing-song, then shouldered the post herself and carried it in.
I told my Black-but-Comelys to kindly avoid such vehemently revengeful lovers for the future. I was awakened one morning on the station by distant wailing. A wailing that came in waves of sound, beginning slowly and lowly, to gain gradually in volume until it reached the full height or limit of the human voice, when gradually, as it had risen, it fell again.
The Black-but-Comelys say, as they clear the dirt away: 'I wish whoever in this house those boolees are after would go out when they come, not let 'em hunt after 'em here and make this mess. The Wurrawilberos chiefly animate these.
