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! (This is an automatically generated summary.)
