About the book >.>.> The gap which our departure had made in our social circle had evidently closed up quite com- fortably and though we were resolved to get inside again we realised it would take a strenuous effort to do so. But we were equal to it for the lazy life of a small colonial station had left us with a big reserve fund of energy. I was a good deal plumper than when I first went out I admit; but Montague had lost flesh still he had gained in dignity and the auto- cratic bearing that comes of ordering a lot of black boys about; as a matter of fact between ourselves he had grown a trifle “sidey” and as if there was a poker down his physical and moral backbone. But whether it was due to our own per- sonal drawbacks or not our “leave” was scarcely coming up to our expectations; we wanted to be able to do the things other people did but we felt out of it and evidently the greatest defect in our education was that we did not “rink.” (OS)
