- Peires plays with words when he writes that I write Captain Gardiner off ‘as a hapless schemer’. The phrase in question is, ‘In a few short weeks the schemes of the traders, the trekkers the missionaries and hapless Captain Gardiner had all been blasted.’ The word scheme here is plainly not the verb, meaning to plot with questionable intent, but the noun meaning a plan (as in the ‘medical benefits scheme’, the ‘Zambezi water-sharing scheme’, etc.).
