"White man," the chief said, "I have spoken to the Anahuac traders concerning you, and they have a great desire to see you. Therefore you will, this morning, accompany us to their camp." An hour afterwards Roger started with the cazique, and a numerous body of the latter's counselors and attendants. The encampment of the Anahuans was a quarter of a mile from the town.
I know, too, cazique, that you have befriended me to the utmost, while many others have been against me. I am willing, then, to depart." Great was the grief of Malinche when she learned, from Roger, that he was to go with the Anahuans. "Could not my lord take me with him?" she asked presently, as her sobs lessened in violence. "I shall be but a slave myself, Malinche."
Perhaps it was the god of war, who saw that the Anahuans were so happy that they no longer went out to conquer other people, and to provide sacrifices for him. Perhaps they were jealous, because the people worshiped Quetzalcoatl more than them. Anyhow, they were angry with him, and he was obliged to leave us.
