Meningitis
==========
'Kumbe! It was a bargain, Bwana. Two cows for
nineteen shillings. I only got them because old
Muchiwa had to find his shillings to pay his poll
tax.'
My cook boy stuttered in his excitement.
'Only two more, and then I can get married.'
'That's splendid, Roger. And now I suppose you
want to go and tell Nora?'
'Please, Bwana, and Daudi says you are going to
the Buigiri on safari. May I go, too? I'm sure I can
get those two cows from my relatives who live near there.'

'But who'11 do your work here, Roger?'
'School has broken up, Bwana, and Anthony knows
the cook boy's job.'
'Very well, if the cook agrees, you can come with us
when we set out tomorrow at sunrise.'
The car was being loaded with all sorts of medicines
for our brahch hospital, twenty miles away. Daudi, the
dispenser, helped me as I checked over lists of drugs
and dressings.
'Everything's here, Bwana, except a hundred-weight
of Epsom salts. My wife will
bring that down from the
store.'
'Kah,' I said. 'Will she not
break in the middle? Is she
not terribly thin?'
Daudi smiled. 'Get it on
her head, Bwana, and she'll
carry it all day!'
