Aylward great villain； serve him jolly well right if Asika spiflicate
him； that not Jeekie's fault。 What Jeekie do； he do to save master and
missus who he love。 Care nothing for his self； ready to die any day。
Keep it dark to save them too； 'cause they no like the story。 If once
they know； it always leave taste in mouth； same as bad oyster。 Also
Jeekie manage very well； take Major safe Asiki…land （'cause Little
Bonsa make him）； give him very interesting time there； get him plenty
gold； nurse him when he sick； nobble Mungana； bring him out again；
find Miss Barbara； catch hated rival and bamboozle all Asiki army；
bring happy pair to coast and marry them； arrange first…class
honeymoon on shipJeekie do all these things； and lots more he could
tell； if he vain and not poor humble nigger。〃
Once more he paused a while； lost in the contemplation of his own
modesty and virtues； then continued：
〃This very ungrateful world。 Major there； he not say； 'Thank you；
Jeekie； Jeekie； you great； wonderful man。 Brave Jeekie； artful Jeekie。
Jeekie smart as paint who make all world believe just what he like；
and one too many for Asika herself。' No； no； he say nothing like that。
He say 'thank Prov'dence；' not 'Jeekie；' as though Prov'dence do all
them things。 White folk think they clever； but great fools； really；
don't know nothing。 Prov'dence all very well in his wayp'raps； but
Prov'dence not a patch on Jeekie。
〃Hullo！ moon get behind cloud and there second bell； think Jeekie go
down and wait dinner； lonely up here and sure Asika never stand
'lectric light。〃
