Upon arrival at the mine, I went to the elevator machine room and removed all my clothes. I then road the elevator to the bottom of the mining pit, where I was met by Kwaku and the Overseer. Kwaku but his arm around my shoulders and gave me a hug, and used his other hand to rub my head. It was a little embarrassing having Kwaku doing this in front of the Overseer, and seeing the smile on the Overseer’s face.
The Overseer told us it was time to quit fooling around, and to get to work. Kwaku gave me one more head rub, and then headed off to his work area. The Overseer accompanied me to my work area, and on the way, told me he had been told by Araway to set things straight with Kwaku and the other men. He was to explain to them that they and Kwaku had misunderstood what Araway really ment, when he had brought me down to the pit with my new haircut.
I ask him not to do that, and that I would explain to Araway why I ask you to not to do as he ask. I told the Overseer that I didn’t want to see Kwaku embarrassed in front of the other men. That explaining what Araway really ment would do a lot of damage to the morale of the men. That the men were pleased that Araway had enough respect and confidence in them to allow me to be with and work with them. That he had respect for Kwaku, and had put him in charge of seeing that I worked and stayed out of trouble while in the pit.
I told the Overseer I didn’t mined what the men thought about my status in the pit. I told him I didn’t think I would have any trouble with Kwaku, trying to over play his role. I told the Overseer if I did run into a problem with Kwaku, that I would let him know. In that way he could talk with Kwaku, in private, and set things straight, so that he wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of the other men.
The Overseer thanked me, and said he thought that would be the best way to handle things. He hoped Araway would agree with me, and would understand why he, the Overseer, had held off saying anything to the men.
The Overseer laughed, and said it’s time I carry out my part of Araway’s instructions, it’s time you get your ass to work. I laughed and gave him a big yes Sir, then went to work in my area. I was looking forward to the lunch break, and seeing how things would go with Kwaku.
