Epilogue
When Matt returned to Nairobi he discovered
when he was cleaning his rifle that both barrels were plugged with
some white rocks. He put thoughts together and smiled inwardly. He
left Africa and went to South America where he bought a cattle
ranch and married a girl from Argentina.
Red River Red and Too Tall Toby spent their
days gathering firewood for the bath house in exchange for room and
board.
Sean’s aunt and uncle found his money under
the pillow and his aunt and uncle lived for many years happy with
his periodical gifts of money. The uncle until he died thought Sean
was his son and told everyone until they all finally believed
him.
In later years, Sean and Slim occasionally
went out on safari guiding special friends of Clare’s father.
Mostly they were scientific safaris rather than hunting big
game.
