Note 1 — XIV. The Little Red Tortoise.
Reading edition
“See what Outa caught for the baasjes near the Klip Kop this afternoon—a nice little berg schilpad.1 Now Baas Willem can put it in his kraal with the others and let it lay eggs. It is still young, but it will grow—yes, so big.” A cart-wheel might have been comfortably contained in the circle described by Outa’s arms.
