Virginia Thanks for waiting around for the new part. Glad it wasn't too much of a disappointment - other than the length, that is
If the gunrunners had shot her in the leg, how had she gotten so far away from civilization to end up found by the Bangla?
I've been meaning to make a point for a while, and you've given me the prod I needed.
Lois's new 'family' in the Congo are called the Bangala. Io wondered if it were too much like Bangla (from Bangladesh). If I had made up the name, she would have had a good point. However, Bangala are/were a people living along the Congo River in the early 20th century, 'discovered' by European missionaries. 'Bangala' means 'River People'. Sorry if there's been any confusion (not to mention that I should have said this weeks ago!)
I find it interesting that she hasn't mentioned her son to Clark. That seems more like an old Lois sort of protective instinct than a new Lois one.
Good point. *We* trust Clark, but Lois has every reason to be protective, particularly of her son.
Laura I love the fact that one Clark smile can hurry things along.

Two Americans playing Aussie Rules in the Congo? That might have taken some explaining!
Lois is already becoming a part of Clark, though he doesn't know it yet.
Yep.
John Yes, they are making progress. Clark is a young and fit man, who enjoys sport. He got caught up in the game. I had to get a smile in there somewhere.
Sydney Hi. Thanks for dropping by. Glad you're enjoying the story.
Thanks for the comments.
Corrina.
