One gay fellow was in a bright green dressing-gown like overcoat: he said that his wife a hard-featured woman who looked as if nobody loved her had brought his saddle horse. We got some hard-boiled eggs and maize bread.

This had the desired effect; and, in half an hour, there came to the Government House a hard-featured man of about fifty, escorted by a crowd, no small portion of which was composed of his own multifarious wives and children, all displaying symptoms of high satisfaction.
