Cecil discusses the West Highland pony 'Mulatto' and her suitability for the zebra hybrid experiments. He asserts that 'Mulatto' was never served before she came to Ewart and mentions that 'all my fellows are immensely excited about the zebra cross, in fact they always speak of her [Mulatto] as 'the zebra's lass''.

His guinea pig experiments crossing a red with a brown have produced one curious result but the rest are uninteresting.
