If Bonk is too stupid to realize that Mr. Dixon poses the more obvious
threat to his business, the town Arbitresses are not. They recognize,
the Quaker. He is rude to them and more friendly with the native
Africans. He is, from their observations, too loquacious, half way to a
Hindu. A Quaker in deeds and spirit if not by the letter.
Lots of Norths and Souths, the magnatetic attractions, the needles
aflutter, reversing.
It is Mason's white seed they want not Dixon's.
And it is Austra, in the interest of both houses, who sends Mason to a
Toko. In on sense, no doubt, a tokologist, childbirth; midwifery or
obstetrics, from the Greek tokos, childbirth; tek = below + -logy. In
any event, our guys do decide to tell and share the data of their
dreams. Nice thing to do, good fun for the whole family, some say it can
make or break a marriage.
Mason is at least open to the magic of the people. Or he hasn't much
choice. He's rather Sensitive to the Winds (the choir of ghosts) and
even if swollen with phlegm, to the Vrooms and the slave--South. The
Vrooms and all, are locked inside the perimeter, they practice a strange
violent chastity regarding their Africans. It can be a paranoid and
violent shotgun weilding father protecting it (more redneck American
than Job) or a love potion. Mason needs Sakti, Dixon, his assisstant,
will go looking for it.
