"Macumazahn, I am told that you are discreet, that you do not shout from the top of a hut what you hear within it. Now, hearken to me. Our country is disturbed; we do not all of us love the seed of Senzangakona, of whom the present king, Panda, is one. For instance, you may know that we Quabies for my tribe, the Amansomi, are of that race suffered at the spear of Chaka.
Now Masapo sat silent, for he saw that he who thought to snare a baboon had caught a tiger. "You do not speak, O Chief of the little Amansomi," went on Saduko, who was beside himself with rage and jealousy. "You will not leave your beef and beer to hunt the hyenas who are captained by an umfokazana!
So I went on to the circle, and as I advanced Umbezi rose and, taking me by the hand, led me to the big man, saying: "This is Masapo, chief of the Amansomi, of the Quabe race, who desires to know you, Macumazahn." "Very kind of him, I am sure," I replied coolly, as I threw my eye over Masapo. He was, as I have said, a big man, and of about fifty years of age, for his hair was tinged with grey.
"Oh, I can guess your business here, Masapo, and you can guess mine," and he glanced towards Mameena. "Tell me, Umbezi, is this little chief of the Amansomi your daughter's accepted suitor?" "Nay, nay, Saduko," said Umbezi; "no one is her accepted suitor. Will you not sit down and take food with us? Tell us where you have been, and why you return here thus suddenly, and uninvited?"
