...questions become more acute the farther south in Africa the visitor travels. In Kenya, barely five years after the Mau Mau terrors, whites now dine with blacks in some of Nairobi's more fashionable hotels and restaurants.

There followed the kind of story which stirs up indignant letters from settlers. To make matters worse, Stonehouse invited three Africans to dine with him in the very dining room that Barbara Castle had made memorable. Finally, one midnight, an immigration officer got Stonehouse out of bed to warn him that he could be declared a "prohibited immigrant."
