You soon learn that the black nan is a woman, tulip, William's vife, and that the little black boy s their own. They had an exciting courtship in Dahomey, and Tulip, vho is a King's daughter, brought her lusband a small fortune in gold and vory. Now they are in a land wholly lew to Tulip and where she feels ittle at home. ?l.?_ _ j , "Our folks are not so merry as the \.ficans are," her husband explains to lis young brother, and that makes the greatest change for her as she is used, to laughter..

If she had been poor i servant, there would have been no voru aguinsi. nor, uul i iirgRT.i nrsssi^ ter in beautiful clothes and together hey go on gay, uncivilized good times uch as swimming naked in the ocean, ind accordingly shock many in the _ >rim little town. The sorrow that "] omes to them, however, is the sorrow if accident, not only of any loss of i{ rust and affection. il Mr. Garnett runs-along his own way K vithout division in chapter or part. C vithout stressing his dramatic inci- a Idnts. But the picture of Tulip at the P ast is pathetic however unemoti - ?] y it is told. After her husband's H leath, she goes on "working as the a [rudge of every one about the plaqe. n the village they, Were used to her nd now that she. was always dressed n the poorest cast-off clothes her nistress had given her, ncHbody houted at her or jeered as she went ? y* * *' * * * *. She had learned to ? now her-stniiun iii life and she did:: icr duty in it very well." Her little ioy she had sent back to Africa that e might not stay on in England where"" e would be just a "little nigger." In both Merrick's and Garnett's looks, England is shown as very un- take them too 'seriously.
