The Club of Queer Trades

CHAPTER 5
6/43

You are quite right to champion the Zulus, but for all that you do not sympathize with them.

No doubt you know the Zulu way of cooking tomatoes and the Zulu prayer before blowing one's nose; but for all that you don't understand them as well as I do, who don't know an assegai from an alligator.

You are more learned, Chadd, but I am more Zulu.

Why is it that the jolly old barbarians of this earth are always championed by people who are their antithesis?
Why is it?
You are sagacious, you are benevolent, you are well informed, but, Chadd, you are not savage.

Live no longer under that rosy illusion.
