GLIMPSES OF EAST AFRICA AND ZANZIBAR 



I appeared pleased, and ordered it to be poached for 

 breakfast. While dressing I heard a voice outside 

 my door, low and sad, sighing that the egg was bad ! 

 A great relief to me, but a disappointment for 

 Baruku. 



There was an agricultural show ; Nairobi can 

 be very grand, and everybody turned out in their 

 best for it. The exhibits were distinctly of a mixed 

 variety ; for instance, I was being driven round in a 

 pony-cart which eventually took first prize for the 

 best " turnout ". The pony made a fuss every time 

 we passed a certain corner ; then we discovered that 

 there was a poor leopard in a cage near by. Hence 

 the excitement of the pony.
