As, thus: at the nest nothing unusual save that a buzzard was near it; in the other clearing three coconuts had fallen to the ground--for Jerry could count unerringly up to five; between the other clearing and the main path were four pigs; along the main path he had passed a dog, more than five women, and two children; and on the small path home he had noted a cockatoo and two boys.
But he could not tell Nalasu his states of mind and heart that prevented him from being fully contented in his present situation.

For Nalasu was not a white-god, but only a mere nigger god.

And Jerry hated and despised all niggers save for the two exceptions of Lamai and Nalasu.

He tolerated them, and, for Nalasu, had even developed a placid and sweet affection.

Love him he did not and could not.
At the best, they were only second-rate gods, and he could not forget the great white-gods such as Skipper and Mister Haggin, and, of the same breed, Derby and Bob.
