An African Millionaire: Episodes in the Life of the Illustrious Colonel Clay

It seems there was a misunderstanding, as you provided "START OF BOOK" and "END OF BOOK" without the actual content of "An African Millionaire: Episodes in the Life of the Illustrious Colonel Clay". To provide the two paragraphs as requested, I would need either a summary of the book or specific excerpts from it. If there are particular sections or themes you'd like me to focus on, please provide more context or details!
