4/21 Stop, though! there is Gagaoola, if she was a woman, and not a fiend. But she was a hundred at least, and therefore not marriageable, so I don't count her. It is a stiff place, and I feel as though I were bogged up to the axle. But, "_sutjes, sutjes_," as the Boers say--I am sure I don't know how they spell it--softly does it. A strong team will come through at last, that is, if they are not too poor. |
