At the crest of the ill at Inchicore sightseers had gathered in clumps to watch the cars careering homeward and through this channel of poverty and inaction the Continent sped its wealth and industry. Now and again the clumps of people raised the cheer of the gratefully oppressed. Their sympathy, however, was for the blue cars —the ears of their friends, the French, ‘The French, moreover, were virtual victors. Their team had finished solidly; they had been placed second and third and the driver of the winning German car was reported ‘Belgian. Each blue car, therefore, received a double round ‘of welcome as it topped the crest of the hill and oach cheer ‘of welcome was acknowledged with smiles and nods by ‘those in the car. In one of these trimly built ears was & party of four young men whose spirits seemed to be at present well above the level of successful Gallicism: in fact, these four young men wore almost hilarious. They were Charles Ségouin, the owner of the car; André Riviere, a young electrician of Canadian birth; a huge Hungarian ‘named Villona and a neatly groomed young man named Doyle. Ségouin was in good humour because he had unexpectedly received some orders in advance (he was about to start a motor establishment in Paris) and Riviére was in good humour because he wes to be appointed. ‘manager of the establishment; these two young men (who wore cousins) were also in good humour bocauso of the success of the French cars, Villona was in good humour because he had had a very satisfactory luncheon; and besides he was an optimist by nature, The fourth ‘member of the party, however, was too excited to be ‘genuinely happy. 524 0s carmos vinham rapilamente na direpto de Dublin, cor rrendo equilitradamente como se fossem projéteis no suleo da ‘Naas Road.

The ‘other men played game after game, flinging themselves boldly into the adventure. They drank the health of the Queen of Hearts and of the Queen of Diamonds. Jimmy felt obscurely the lack of an audience: the wit was flashing. Play ran very high and paper began to pass. Jimmy did not mow exactly who was winning but he knew that he was losing. But it was his own fault for he frequently mistook his cards and the other men had to calculate his 1.0.U.'s for him, They were devils of fellows but he wished they would stop: it was getting late. Some one gave the toast of the yacht The Belle of Newport and then some one proposed ‘one great game for a finish. ‘The pieno had stopped: Villona must have gone up on eck, It was a terrible game. They stopped just before the ‘end of it to drink for hick. Jimmy understood that the game lay between Routh and Ségouin. What excitement! Jimmy ‘was excited too; he would lose, of course. How much had he ‘yritten away? The men rose to their feet to play the last tricks, talking and gesticulating, Routh won. The cabin shook with the young men’s cheering and the cards were ‘bundled together. They began then to gather in what they tad won. Farley and Jimmy were the heaviest losers. He knew that ho would regret in the morning but at present he was glad of the rest, glad of the dark stupor that ‘would cover up his folly.

She never had an opinion of her own on matters like the ‘weather, because even to know about what seems a simple thing like the weather needs experience. Which Margaret had not got. The men were Richard her ‘husband, and old Stephen, Richard's father, a farmer from sray back, and these two might argue for hours, whether the rains were ruinous, or just ordinarily ‘exasperating. Margaret had been on the farm three years. She still dd not understand how they did not go bankrupt altogether, when the men never had a good word for the weather, or the soil, or the Government. But she was getting to learn the language. Farmer's language, And they neither went benkrupt nor got very rich. They jogged along, doing comfortably. ‘Their crop was maize. Their farm was three thousand tacros on the ridges that rise up towards the Zambesi escarpment, high, dry windswept country, cold and dusty in winter, but now, being the wet seazon, steamy with the heat rising in wet soft waves off miles of green foliage. Beautiful it was, with the sky blue and brilliant halls of air, and the bright green folds and hollows of country beneath, and the mountains lying ‘sharp and bare twenty miles off across the rivers. The sky made her eyes ache, she was not used to it. One does not look so much at the sky in the city she came from. So that evening when Richard said: “The Government is sending out warnings that locusts are expected, coming down from the breeding grounds up North, her instinct was to look about her at the trees. Insecte—swarms of them—horrible! But Richard and the old man had raised their eyes and were looking up over the mountain. ‘We haven't had locusts in seven years, they said. ‘They go in cycles, locusts do” And. 546 As chuvas naqueleana foram boas.

The sun wouild ret in an hour. Then the swarm would settle. Tt was as thick overhead as ever. ‘The trees were raged mounds of glistening brown. “Margaret began to cry. It was all so hopeleas—if ‘wasn't a bad season, it was locusts, if it wasn’t locusts, it was armyworm, or veldt fires. Always something. The rustling of the locust armies was like a big forest in the storm, their settling on the roof was like the beating of the rain, the ground was invisible in a sleek brown surging tide—it was like being drowned in locusts, submerged by the loathsome brown flood. It seemed as the roof might sink in under the weight of them, as, if the door might give in under their pressure and these rooms fill with them—and it was getting so dark... she looked up. The air was thinner, gaps of blue shower the dark moving clouds, The blue spaces were cold and thin; the sun must be setting, Through the fog of insects she savr figures approaching. First old Stephen, marching bravely along, then her bushand, drawn and haggard with weariness. Behind them the servants. All were cravling all over with insects, The sound of the gongs had stopped. She could hear nothing but the ceaseless rustle of a myriad wings, ‘The two men slapped off the insects and came in. ‘Well, said Richard, kissing her on the cheek, ‘the ‘main ewarm has gone over.” “For the Lord's sake,’ said Margaret angrily, stil hhalferying, what's here is had enough, isn't it?” Por although the evening air was no longer black and thick, but a clear blue, with a pattern of insects whizzing this way and that across it, everything else—trees, buildings, bushes, earth, was gone under the moving brown ‘IFit doesn’t rain in the night and keep them here—if it doesn’t rain and weigh them down with water, they'll be off in the morning at sunrise.” “We've bound to have some hoppers. But not the main swarm, that's something. ‘Margaret roused herself, wiped her eyes, pretended she had not been crying, and fetched them some supper, for the servants were too exhausted to move, She sent them down to the compound to rest. She served the supper and sat listening. There is not ‘one maize plant left, she heard. Not one. The men ‘would get the planters out the moment the locusts had gone. They must start all over again. "But what's the use of that?” Margaret wondered, if the whole farm was going to be crawling with hoppere? But she listened while they discussed the new Government pamphlet which said how to defest the hoppers. You must have men out all the time moving ‘over the farm to watch for movement in the grass When you find a patch of hoppers, small lively black things, like crickets, then you dig trenches around the patch, or spray them with poison from pumps supplied by the Government. The Government wanted them to cooperate in a world plan for eliminating this plague for fever. You should attack locusts at the source, Hoppers, in short, The mon were talking as if they were planning ‘a war, and Margaret listened, amazed. 550 tos. ~ Coma pade suportar que eso toquem? —perpuntou, Ble alhou pam da, com ar de desaprovagiio.
