One of them Jacobus van Heerden whenever he spoke of his brother's death, would bite his lips, his face would flush, and one could hear him mutter: "My brother's blood shall be avenged." In the whole commando there was not a more dauntless man than he. But, alas! he too passed away. A bullet was destined to pierce his skull.
They had not thought greatly of this matter at first; but now the fear increased with the passing days. Even Neilson was not wholly exempt from it.

After a short time the prince who had been brought up in luxury found the work so hard and the food so scanty that he resolved to leave the mahajan: but before he went he had to submit to a piece of skin being cut off, in terms of the agreement.

But Starkad could not forget the insult he had suffered, and became more and more angry with the effeminate way of living that Ingjald and his wife had introduced from Germany.

With bent head, his red sword in his hand, he climbed the dais and knelt before the throne of Pharaoh, saying: "I have avenged my honour and the honour of Egypt.

Then Morven said to the people: "The star kings are avenged, and their wrath appeased. Tarry only here until the water have melted into the crevices of the soil."
Go, Daniel! that was a stupid remark. You know that I am your master. It is on me that God and conscience will be avenged, if, indeed, there be a God and a conscience. Merciful Heaven! FRANCIS.
