So so. Meanderin' along in our own quiet little way. Rising at ssar mmoja and turning in at tatu na nuss, and keeping on the water-wagon generally. Very simple and unexciting, but still, it agrees with one wonderfully out here. With the exception of the Roosevelt dinner, I don't think I've been over in the club [[strikeout]] ^[[three times]] since I joined. I'm a damsite better off for it, too. 

Old Bwana Stewart was the man for that. He was a rare mixer, and [[strikeout]] wasn't bitterly set against a pre-dinner mellowness. However, excuse me. I like something thicker for dinner, myself.

Been reading Washington Irving's "life of Mahomet." Rather interesting. Say, but old Mahom was hell with the wimmin. After every fight he used to pick up a couple of delectable "hareem" and lock 'em up in his stables. If it was only a little barroom brawl or a skirmish, he used to pick up, say one, but any middlin' sized battle was good for two new wives, anyway, if not more. I tell you, what with his prayers, and his fightin', and his simple and idyllic home life, old Mahomet was a busy gent. He wuz that.
