Chapter 12: The Mayor Of Nairobi

The chapter begins:

Of all the members of the Muthaiga group exposed by the trial, Gwladys Delamere seems to have been the most disliked by the colonial official class for her high-handed manner. They were particularly incensed by the fact that she had clearly lied in court and had produced blatantly biased evidence against Broughton which, given her unpopularity, had had the effect of swaying the jury in his favour. Harwich described her to us [Connolly and Fox] to us as 'a formidable old dragon who bossed them all about.' Others, including, it seems, the whole English community in Zanzibar, even believed Gwladys to be the murderess.
