By the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress, we sold ninety one bales of drills today! How it happened, damfino. It was a shock, I tell you. Bunny will be pleased when he hears of it.
   
In the evening we went over to Slipps. The memsahib strikes me as being a damned good feller.

The three of us dined off Mac tonight. All that new cutlery and fixin's look suspicious. Maybe Mac is going to take the dread step. It happens to the best of us. Mac told me he'd saved a hunderd and ten quid, too. That's what comes of having a job in the Bank.
   
That Bank has got a good job in Aden, too. If we had had another here this summer it's a safe bet we wouldn't have had to pay any farthing on those cotton drafts. We lost a little pile on that. A little monopoly goes a great way.
