She throws fits, but everyone is crazy about her.She's not a very nice boss either (wonder where she gets that from?). The dogs also understand that Lulu is the boss-lady around the house and give up the best spots by the fire when she comes into the room.( This is a controversial point even today.). The narrator also kept dogs, Scotch Deerhounds, who she claims could tell which of her servants (or "houseboys") are Muslims (or "Mohammedans") and are therefore not allowed to touch dogs.She is very small, the size of a cat, and becomes the queen of the house. Next morning, Farah brings the tea to her bed and Juma, a servant, brings in the fawn, which is promptly named Lulu.She wakes up all the servants and tells them to go out and find the fawn and that, if they fail, she'll fire them all. In the night, though, the narrator wakes up in terror, and worries about what will become of the poor little bushbuck fawn.In the night she sees the same kids, who look super disheartened.One day, as she's driving into Nairobi, the narrator sees a little group of Kikuyu children shouting, offering to sell her a small bushbuck, a kind of African antelope.
