rip. 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.. Often ~sEe~Kas
isked wHyjthe men here* dcmot dance '
vhy they never beat drums, or clap '
heir hands, or shout songs in chorus
she thinks we are a jvery dull set of
logs here."- 1 " ~ " ~" T
The story of -this?strangely assored
but happy couple ends in sorrow,
fillip soon enafmnters, from her husrand's
sister,-as much raeeantagon- sm
as sh6 would?receive?had?rite?
>een in Georgia. 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. Theirs
ire tales of imagination and ;Garnett
lepicts the English-ae -well?as the
\frican in. a somewhat phantastic
nanner. ~ .
