nearly eleven o’clock in the morning
So we started , and after us came Hendrika with Tota and old Indaba-zimbi whom I found sitting outside as fresh as paint . Nothing could tire that old man . The view from the platform was almost as beautiful as that from the lower ground looking up to the peak . The marble kraals , as I have said , faced west , consequently all the upper terrace lay in the shadow of the great peak till nearly eleven o'clock in the morning -- a great advantage in that warm latitude . First we walked through the garden , which was beautifully cultivated , and one of the most productive that I ever saw . There were three or four natives working in it , and they all saluted my host as `` Baba , '' or father . Then we visited the other two groups of marble huts .
