He said that one African chief had had a thousand wives.

As it is, the quickest of us walk about well wadded with stupidity. George Eliot
Raindrops felt his cheeks with blind, questing fingers...the black trunks of the trees were like iron bars against the gray of gathering pools." Radigan Louis L'Amour
