 Juma even had lost his tongue. Father Somi's black pillbox hat looked interesting. You could carry a lot of birds' eggs in it, turned upside down. Lizards or locusts or anything. The gentleman wearing the onion hat was the taller one. They both looked important, but the one with the onion hat looked the one. He carried a long, important cane. What couldn't Carlil do with that cane? Anyway, Juma found his tongue sufficiently to answer the questions.
