I mean to say that he is under a mistaken idea that
his position is very much more than it really is.
And "apparently that you should act as a wet muras 24.3/2
to him" ?
Almost everything that came from the Sanitary Office,
he wished for me to carry through. For instance, the
ordering of the coolies. He wanted me to order the
coolies, and he distinotly refused to do it himself,
sir.
Why do you think he refused to do it? Was he too 243/3
lazy, do you mean? You say he was supersi, and wanted
you to act as wet nurse. Was he a lazy man ?
A.
No, Sir.
Why then?
