Warria, Papillon lived briefly [tek up] with an Indian girl who was selling greens at La Penitence Market. By 1972 that girl had turned a big woman and she gave an interview to my friend John Agard for an article in the papers.

Warria, after GT Papillon travelled on the North-West District ferry to what is now Region 1. Maybe, he stayed awhile in Matthew's Ridge or Mabaruma but I look forward to your answer.

2 out of 4 correct.

Dr Manget first introduced the idea of a local insurance company because the foreign [British and others] companies had hiked premiums unreasonably. But it was Mr Winter who took the idea and actually got about forming Hand-in-Hand.

Nice try, anyway. Better luck next time.

That's all for today.

Good morning.

The picture shows the world's rarest postage stamp, a British Guiana One-Cent Magenta. It was sold by the auction house Sotheby's last month to an anonymous buyer. How much did the new owner pay for this stamp?
