Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Witch Doctor and Other Rhodesian Studies HE Native Commissioner's Court had, with a very brief interval for luncheon, sat through out the day. The weather was very hot and thundery. For the breaking of the rains was imminent. A number of cases had been disposed of, and the last was now drawing to a close. Having listened to the arguments of both sides, the Commissioner summed up, gave judgment, and dismissed the litigants, whereupon the native clerk began to collect the papers and put things away. The official lighted a cigarette, put on his hat, and walked towards the door. He was met by his head messenger. Another case, Morena, said the messenger, pointing to a middle-aged native squatting in the courtyard softly clapping his hands. The hard worked white man paused; he had thoughts of tea awaiting him in his bungalow a hundred yards away.
