I am going to tell the strangest story that I remember. It may seem a queer thing to say, especially considering that there is no woman in it - except Foulata. 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. At any rate, I can safely say that there is not a _petticoat_ in the whole history. | King Solomon's Mines by H Rider Haggard, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
