But, you are right, I admit, for we have still a few places left to refine in the common folk." Feeling vainglorious at my victory, I pursued him further, "I also observed that your womenfolk wear face coverings in public, which is most certainly a thing of the past."
Much disquietude had been caused thereby amongst the farmer folk, and the whole countryside was agape with excitement and conjecture, but nothing had been discovered as to the malefactor, though many tales were told, more especially by the womenfolk, who put down all mishaps to the same unknown agent.
Now and then he would steal a look at my wife Beatrix, or at one or the other of my three daughters, and again gaze out at the sea beyond the open window, as though trying to piece it all together into one picture. But it was not until the womenfolk had risen and retired that he unlocked his thoughts to me. And I hold even now that his first question was a curious one.
"Shut up, Bubbles. You aren't in court," Jimmy replied. "This needs delicacy. Giuseppe says " "Interest the monkey," the brown engineer interrupted. "He won't climb for love. Cut up to the house and get some biscuits, Bubbles sugar ones and an orange or two. No need to tell our womenfolk." The huge white figure lobbed off at a trot which would not have disgraced a boy of seventeen.
Isak drives and drives, and everything goes well, and Brrr! says the machine. There is a broad track of cut grass in his wake, neatly in line, ready to take up. Now they can see him from the house, and all the womenfolk come out; Inger carries little Rebecca on her arm, though little Rebecca has learned to walk by herself long since.

He caught the belled horse, stuffed its bell with grass and moss, and got on its back. My beast was shy, and I had a deal of trouble to get hold of it. We rode across the field, found a gate, and came out on to the road.
Whilst riding along in the dense gloom we heard loud voices a few hundred yards ahead of us. Turning out of the road, we rode on the grass so as to make no noise, and carefully approached. Upon getting nearer we found it was some natives driving cattle into a kraal. Near by was a farmhouse, and thither we went. Only the womenfolk were at home.
"I know it sounds absurd," said the Minister, "but they are seriously considering the idea in the West." "Then they must have a larger equipment of seriousness than I gave them credit for. After a lifetime of specialised effort in maintaining my gravity I can scarcely restrain an inclination to smile at the suggestion. Why, out womenfolk in most cases don't know how to read or write.
Men started to their feet over all the river front. The Indians rose, walked down the bank covertly. "Fight!" The word passed quickly. It was a day of personal encounters. This was an assemblage in large part of fighting men. But some sense of decency led the partisans to hurry away, out of sight and hearing of the womenfolk.
Karl had frequently to stoop; the ceilings seemed very low to him, although they were high enough compared to the dwarf men. "Where are the female dwarfs?" he asked abruptly. "Dwarfs have no womenfolk," Mr Query replied. "We did away with them long, long ago!" "That was rather rough on them, eh?" said Karl.
