- It was the love of a dusky damsel that drove Henry Herbert from the African missionary field. He could stand for the hot pots and the cannibalistic soup tureens of those who were living in darkness and the dinge of their own color, but when it came to receiving an osculatory imprint from those merry widow lips of sofa cushion dimensions and an embrace from the huge arms attached to her 400-pound form, that was too much. He could serve the heathen even though he was tortured, but not when he was the object of such pachydermal passion. The innermost core of the hottest hot pot was infinitely preferable to the lady's love. Henry wasn't much of the missionary order at that. He had been induced somewhat against his wishes to take up the studies for the field, but had his doubts about his fitness even when active preparations for his departure for Africa were already going forward. He had been a little of a sport in his time, and his friend, Pug Pelty, thought he would waste his life in Africa. To Africa Henry went, however, and the chieftain's fat daughter loved him from the moment of his landing. Umpilika she was called, and Umpilika vowed to have him for her very own. Heroically she saved him from the community pot to the cook's wrath. She forced the wedding bells upon him and then a diversion happened. A dusky, husky warrior returned from battle to claim the fickle one and Henry Herbert was compelled to do combat with him for her hand. Better this death than the marriage. Henry was happy, so happy he lighted a pipe and at the first puff of smoke from his pipe the cannibals scattered. Here was a devil indeed, a man who smoked as he talked. They never stopped running, all save the coy maid. She loved and she would be true, even to a white devil. She threw her arms around Henry in an excess of loving emotion and, he woke up. It was all a dream, but it was enough for the intending missioner. He abandoned the cloth to the horror of his clerical friends and adjourned with the redoubtable Pug Pelty to the activity of the world. He couldn't face the prospect of possibly being loved by an elephantine maiden of cannibal lineage.
