Aylward　great　villain；　serve　him　jolly　well　right　if　Asika　spiflicate
him；　that　not　Jeekie's　fault。　What　Jeekie　do；　he　do　to　save　master　and
missus　who　he　love。　Care　nothing　for　his　self；　ready　to　die　any　day。
Keep　it　dark　to　save　them　too；　'cause　they　no　like　the　story。　If　once
they　know；　it　always　leave　taste　in　mouth；　same　as　bad　oyster。　Also
Jeekie　manage　very　well；　take　Major　safe　Asiki…land　（'cause　Little
Bonsa　make　him）；　give　him　very　interesting　time　there；　get　him　plenty
gold；　nurse　him　when　he　sick；　nobble　Mungana；　bring　him　out　again；
find　Miss　Barbara；　catch　hated　rival　and　bamboozle　all　Asiki　army；
bring　happy　pair　to　coast　and　marry　them；　arrange　first…class
honeymoon　on　shipJeekie　do　all　these　things；　and　lots　more　he　could
tell；　if　he　vain　and　not　poor　humble　nigger。〃

Once　more　he　paused　a　while；　lost　in　the　contemplation　of　his　own
modesty　and　virtues；　then　continued：

〃This　very　ungrateful　world。　Major　there；　he　not　say；　'Thank　you；
Jeekie；　Jeekie；　you　great；　wonderful　man。　Brave　Jeekie；　artful　Jeekie。
Jeekie　smart　as　paint　who　make　all　world　believe　just　what　he　like；
and　one　too　many　for　Asika　herself。'　No；　no；　he　say　nothing　like　that。
He　say　'thank　Prov'dence；'　not　'Jeekie；'　as　though　Prov'dence　do　all
them　things。　White　folk　think　they　clever；　but　great　fools；　really；
don't　know　nothing。　Prov'dence　all　very　well　in　his　wayp'raps；　but
Prov'dence　not　a　patch　on　Jeekie。

〃Hullo！　moon　get　behind　cloud　and　there　second　bell；　think　Jeekie　go
down　and　wait　dinner；　lonely　up　here　and　sure　Asika　never　stand
'lectric　light。〃
