Enshrined in its coat of dust, that mellow coloured, slender-necked bottle gave him deep pleasure. Three years to settle down again since the move from Town ought to be in prime condition!

It is perfectly smooth, without sutures, and of the shape of a long, slender-necked pear, not over an inch in transverse by 1-1/2 inches in longitudinal diameter.

Moreover, she was sweet of nature, ready of wit and good-hearted yes, even for the Kaffirs she had a smile.
