      From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz              An African Victorian Feminist (title of a recent biography of her).       Came from the elite Creole class in Freetown (like Robert Wellesley       Cole, whose memoir, Kossoh Town Boy, I came across a few years ago).       Hayford went off to school in England, married, unmarried, and returned       to pioneer women's education in Sierra Leone.       Wrote in standard British English, but occasionally used Krio in       dialogue in her fiction:       "Carry am go! Make e no stop here!" [Take him! Don't let him stay here!]              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_Casely-Hayford       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Benjamin_Ageh_Wellesley_Cole              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
