Abung's attempts at European food |
| text: |
Held dispensary at perao. Naga sores far better, next to no smell. Boy's foot also better, at least it was yesterday, and he did not turn up till evening to-day, when Jangsang dressed it. Slack day, nothing to do. Told Abung cheese omelette for tiffin and roast fowl for supper, with sausages, but he produced rest of sausages with omelette instead of keeping them for breakfast. In p.m. went down to water hole to sketch. Was presently followed by Camp Naga (Zahilo) & boy with cut toe, and later by agitated Luikai, who was combing the neighbourhood for the stray lunatic. Nagas had great fun with my paints, especially the boy. Typed a bit in p.m. Zahilo as interested as Luikai. Zahilo was at Shomdal school, & speaks Tangkhul, Manipuri & Kuki. |

Luikai wants me to draw him picture of a horse, 'with Sahib on top', to take home with him. |
