 Miss G: Now, a story about Africa, I think. The last remains1 of First Mate. Mr Riley I believe his name was. He died in a mandrake swamp on the way to the Congo French. 

Rosie: Poor Mr Riley.
Miss G: We were touring in a steamer, but he wanted to take a canoe and explore deeper into the lagoon2. A fascinating persuit, but a pleasure to be indulged with caution, for you are certain to come across crocodiles. Taken, he was, right out of canoe. It was a case of "here one minute, gone the next". Foolish man. Probably spent his last months wondering why, having reached the point of folly3..
Fiamma: he need have gilded4 the lily by fooling around in mangrove5 swamps.
Miss G: Yuo must have heard tell this one before.
Fiamma: I believe I must.
Miss G: Nevertheless, we..we pushed on towards the Ogowe River, plagued by mandrake flies. The stench of the swamp..
Fiamma: Fairy tales, like all her stories.
Di: Miss G has risked it all. She's fearless and true and example to everyone of us.
Fiamma: I think you'll find Mary Kingsley risked it all in 1897. A bestseller, I think.
It was certain translated into Spanish.
