I suppose that they were afraid to go back to their
town after theeruption was over, I said. I looked at Hans, speechless with
indignation. Everything, he answered fervently, pressing his hands to his
breast.
So thats the trek, I said, when at last Zikali had
finished. You have heard all; speak and I will accept your judgment.
How could I ever find my way without a
guide?
Not thus do I communicate with those whoare
afar.
Zikalis yarn must be nonsense, and rankfiction.
How, then, can you have the answer by to-morrow?
I think that they are his familiarswhom he is
sending to those Walloos, just as he said. That about the monkey-man and the fellow
who looked like Apollo,answered Good.
Haunted by their king who they had killed, turned
into agigantic ape, turned into Heu-Heu. Then certainly you will be overthrown and
the bargain will fall tothe ground.
Why do they rejoice, and why do they weep,
Zikali?
Restore her to a grateful family, I suppose, for
certainly Ihad no intention of marrying her. Im off, orout shooting to-morrow I
shant hit a haystack sitting. That about the monkey-man and the fellow who looked
like Apollo,answered Good. Of course, they are uselessto them, as they do not trade.
What do you think of the oxen, Macumazahn? It has all come about as I would have it,
for reasonswith which I will not trouble you, Macumazahn.
And if I cannot overthrow Heu-Heu,
Zikali?
Why do they rejoice, and why do they weep,
Zikali?
This being so,the last thing I should wish would be
to send you to your death.
Baas, he said, how many vultures do you see up
there? Baas, he said, how many vultures do you see up there? I looked at Hans,
speechless with indignation. What do you think of the oxen, Macumazahn?
TheseWalloos and the savage Heuheuas with whom they
fight, I understand,dwell far away. They dwell in the forests, andbetween them and
the Walloos there is perpetual war.
Zikalis yarn must be nonsense, and
rankfiction.
Well,these people seem to have plenty of
them.
Tell me, is it one that pleases theseWalloos?
