Travels in West Africa Summary
| TO THE READER. - What this book wants is not a simple Preface but an apology, and a very brilliant and convincing one at that.

For you see, instead of his digesting his dinner with that paw-paw, the paw-paw took charge and digested him, dinner and all, and when B---- interrupted it, it was just getting a grip on the steel things. There's an awful lot of pepsine in a paw-paw, and if you hang, etc., etc. |
