1929. Contains two volumes in one. English novelist and travel
writer, Douglas lived for years on the island of Capri and in Italy
and other Mediterranean countries and made these the settings for
his books. The book begins: The bishop was feeling rather seasick.
Confoundedly seasick, in fact. This annoyed him. For he disapproved
of sickness in every shape or form. His own state of body was far
from satisfactory at that moment; Africa-he was Bishop of Bampopo
in the Equatorial Regions-had played the devil with his lower
gastric department and made him almost an invalid; a circumstance
of which he was nowise proud, seeing that ill-health led to
inefficiency in all walks of life. There was nothing he despised
more than inefficiency. Well or ill, he always insisted on getting
through his tasks in a businesslike fashion. That was the way to
live, he used to say. Get through with it. Be perfect of your kind,
whatever that kind may be. Hence his sneaking fondness for the
natives-they were such fine, healthy animals.
