Oh! which of you ought to sleep now upon that bed that Bausi sent me?" he asked as he put the gun together. "You, I think, you great stupid Mavovo. You never brought a gun. If you were a wizard worth the name you would have sent the rifles on and had them ready to meet us here. Oh! will you laugh at me any more, you thick-head of a Zulu?" "No," answered Mavovo candidly.

Tell her that he's a hard fellow to handle, that he likes her, and that the best way to make sure of him is for her to be nice to him. She can do that easy. She takes nacheral to flirting."

"Tow head, white-head, Thick-head, go to bed." The last word was scarcely out of his mouth before Junior's fist was between his eyes, and down he went. "Want any more?"
"Is he dead?" "No; you can't kill a thick-head like that," snarled the ringmaster. The audience was still roaring. With angry imprecations the members of the band who had fallen through were untangling themselves as rapidly as possible. Teddy, in the meantime, had dragged himself from beneath the heap and slunk out from under the broken platform.
"Why, do you suppose, you thick-head, that I make the storm?" "H'm!... Grin away! Whether it's your doing or not, I only know that when your blood's on fire there's sure to be bad weather, and when there's bad weather there's bound to be some crazy fellow turning up here.
