Notes

  • Epigraph: 'Hath this fellow no feeling of his business that he sings at grave-making?' - Hamlet and the Grave Digger.
  • Author's note: 'It was an election meeting at Dambungo a couple of years ago. At the close, the wooing candidate, in thanking the Chairman, evoked rousing applause by declaring that "he (chair) had done more than all the Agricultural and Selection Branch officers of the State put together towards finally fixing the people in the land." The gentleman happened to be the local cemetery-keeper and gravedigger'.
