Oh, look, here come the elephants.

Let’s have an “A”.

563

My favourite opening sentence.

564

Three for thee, A.

And a “W”, wrestled from the jaws of a jungle viper, if you would.

566

No viper wrestling allowed.

Not even a small viper?

And an “S” or few, please.

568

Are five enough? (They’re kind of viper shaped…)

I don’t know the book, but I’ll say R anyway.

Only four Rs.

Looks like we’re close to the Ns.

Yes – this is not the NeverNing Story.

“D”, please, as in “Darkest Africa”.

‘D’ as in Darkest Africa, and ‘M’ as in Mangani. :smiley:

I searched for the quote, so I’m out. I don’t think I ever read that book.

I was ten or so when I first read it, and have re-read it at least six or seven times.
