"That's heavy," she said. The woman stared stupidly and answered nothing; but the man smiled and said "Yes, heavy. Bogami." We passed more caravans of that all too soon benzine.
We asked a loiterer for the colonel's office. He pointed. We climbed yet another stair and found a pair of large rooms; they were empty. Town papers were scattered on the floor, one table was overturned. A man lounged in. "Where is the colonel?" we asked. "Ne snam bogami," he said, twisting a cigarette. "Well, find out," said Jan. He lounged away and presently returned with another.
He tentatively tried a "compressed luncheon." Its action was satisfactory, but whether it resulted from real nourishment contained in the black-looking glue, or whether it came from a sticking together of the coating of the stomach, we have not yet decided. Jo preferred rather to endure the hunger. Bogami had quite a charm; for instance, he appreciated our troubles with the beasts we were riding.
He poses a little, moves seldom but suddenly, and shoots his remarks as though words of command. He was very kind to us, and was immensely astonished at Jo's Serbian, holding up his hands and saying "Kako" at every one of her speeches. He suggested that poor Bogami should be beaten, but we begged him off.
We began to be awed by our own dignity. We explained to him that the Shadow had changed his mind and had sent Bogami instead. Bogami brought our knapsacks to our room, where he was immobilized by the sight of himself in the looking-glass of the wardrobe; probably he had never seen such a thing before, and he goggled at it. He at last backed slowly from the room.
The secretary, whom we called "the shadow," had not appeared, so we inquired from the squint-eyed youth, received many "Bogamis" as answer, but nothing definite; so we decided, as it was now past six, that he had changed his mind and had sent this chinee-looking fellow, whom we named "Bogami," in his place.
