Mickie is very proud of his well-conditioned spouse, "Jinny" "Missus Michael," as Mickie calls her when in the sportive vein and Jinny, or "Penti-byer," her maiden name, reciprocates the regard, and sees that the dilly-bag, which does duty for the larder, is supplied with yams, nuts, roots and shell-fish, Mickie being responsible for the fish speared in the lagoon at low tide and the scrub-fowl eggs, and the ivory white grubs, etc., upon which they live when there is no "white fella" sitting down.
Struck with bewilderment, the honey-eaters became dumb, the dismayed doves forgot to coo, the scrub-fowl ceased their chuckling, and three cockatoos flew from the blue-fruited quandong-tree shrieking abominable sarcasms. As Christmas heaved over the banks the reins thrashed him. Resenting the insult, his heels flew high.
Being so, in fact and appearance, it was quite a misfit for Christmas a mere toy with which a gay young horse might condescend to beguile a few loose hours. It was a charming morning. Birds were vulgarly sportful. Honey-eaters whistled among the trees, scrub-fowl chuckled in the jungle.
