The snake twisted itself about, raised its head, curled, leaped, and performed various feats, of which I should not have supposed a snake capable; at the conclusion, the musician walked out of the yard, followed by the reptile, leaving me in no small degree astonished, and the rest of the company not a little pleased, that a black man had...
Strana 223 - We will plait thick wreaths of jidle for our heads, and prepare strings of hooni for our necks, that their whiteness may show off the colour of our skins. Mark how the uncultivated spectators are profuse of their applause ! But now the dance is over. Let us remain here to-night, and feast and be cheerful ; and to-morrow we will depart for the Mooa.
