Ho has seen something of the world. Unlike many villagers, he knows his birth date, 1919, though he must pause to work out how old that makes him now. He recalls working in Cura~ as a young man and, for "jig wages" of five. shillings a day, for the American Anny in Antigua during the Second World War. In 1955 he went to England, where he stayed until 1961, working for London Transport. ·ay home through the city the dread gangs of Teddy Boys who used to harass West Indians in London. In short, Baptiste is a reliable infonnant; and, faced again and again with The ~'bite ~tan's Book / 35 such obviously trustworthy people telling such obviously untrustworthy stories, our exasperation becomes general-a token of our reaction to the culture of this village.

I had already heard this story many times and was to hear it many times more.
