Africa, West -- Fiction; London (England) -- Fiction
And the last words, like the first, must be of an old man in London. We
found him in the midst of a brilliant assembly; we leave him alone. We
leave him lying stiffly on his solemn fourpost bed, with his keen, proud
face turned fearlessly towards his Maker. His lips are still; they wear
a smile which even in death is slightly cynical. On the table at his
bedside lies a submarine telegram from Africa. It is unopened.
