Off to see Albert with the suitcase my dad laughs at because they used to have similar ones at his school and it was apparently the most wizard of japes to sneak up behind someone and stomp the case out of their hand.

““I can be very persuasive,” he murmurs, hooking my hair behind my ear.
“Franco’s done a great job on your hair. I like these layers.””

SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH

Never Presume Anything

M’Hali was born in Africa and became Henry Morton Stanley’s favourite after being given to him at Tabora in Tanzania. Stanley changed his name to Kalulu; meaning, baby antelope. Some see their relationship as homosexual. Stanley was known throughout London social circles for his taste in men It’s said that Stanley finally found his solace in Kalulu,

After Stanley found Dr. Livingstone he returned to England and decided to take Kalulu with him. He was Stanley’s constant companion. Stanley went on a lecture tour to America and to Paris and Kalulu went with him. At one point they were delayed in the Seychelles and whilst there and in London, Stanley had visiting cards made for himself with Kalulu in the background.

It was only when introduced to Lord Freeth that he really started to flourish in western society. Freeth made sure that Kululu was well acquainted with his fabulous friends, and began to explore the very depths of sexual desire with one and other, Freeth being of that persuasion.

Stanley was to take with him an “army of peace and light” and this included his great friend and former lover Kalulu. Stanley was to map central Africa and report on suspected slave traders who Stanley had lectured against whilst in England.

Kalulu died at Kalulu Falls, named after him, on the Lualaba river (a feeder for the River Congo) when one of the expedition’s canoes was taken over the waterfall.

Stanley was pathetically naive with women. Late in life he was manipulated into marriage by Dolly Tennant, a spoiled princess who forbade him from returning to Africa and forced him become an MP, which he loathed. Died at 63 years.
