 "Of course there are. Although" truthfully-"one doesn't see them veryoften. And when one does, they generally fly for their lives"
 Camilla looked relieved She had horror of all creeping things.
 Reggie, however. couldn't refrain from adding, with a touch of amused malice:
 It'll be South African spring when you arrive, of course, and that's a bad time for encountering the blight CTS, especially if you happen to get between a snake and his missus, or his hole!"
 Camilla only laughed. Veldt fever had got into her blood. She longed for the wide. sun drenched, flower scented spaces Glyn had painted for her. under bright blue skies.
 'sYou can't put me off. I'm going"
  she said gaily.
 She poured herself out a second cup of tea. then helped herself to the buttered toast that Reggie of fered.

 For at that psychological moment, the phone bell rang sharp and inn perative.
 Reggie rose to answer it. After a good deal of 'hullo-ing' and waiting impatiently on his part it then transpired that it was long g-distance call from London!
 Camilla's heart leaped

 queer look shone for a moment in the crafty eye of Reginald Van Tuyl. Camillas memory was excel lent but inconvenient.
 'I never said I had been there. But know the country, right enough"
 "Oh yes, of course" rejoined his companion, placatingly. Reggie in a good humor was amusing But in a bad, he was trial.
 "Glyn's an optimist." continued he, with a twisted smile. He raves about the scents, and flowers, and grape harvests, and the glorious sun shine. but he forgets to tell you about the mosquito bites. and the flying beetles, and the odor of thu Kaffir boys, and the heat, and the

What about this proposed trip to Africa?' the young man asked, in a casual tone.
 The girl frightened at once.
 Oh, I'm keen to go. The idea ap- peals to me tremendously South Africa's so full of color and sun shine. Not this dreary sort of thing at all. She flung contemptuous glance Fat the moorland mists and drenching rain immediately outside the windows. I've done bit of painting and I'm mad on color MT, Glyn says that the hills and kopjes and the veldt out there are just a riot! They're ablaze with flowers"
