But all of them, and curious women peeping from their houses on the beach, particularly Jean Bati' McClure's wife, could see that Michel Pensonneau was walking with Mama Lalotte. This sight struck cold down Jenieve's spine. Mama Lalotte was really the heaviest charge she had.
The Fan were accompanied in their seaward movement by the Osheba or 'Sheba, the Moshebo and Moshobo of M. du Chaillu's map. They are said to be a tribe of kindred blood and warlike tastes, speaking a remarkably guttural tongue, but intelligible to the Mpangwe. They too were doubtless pressed forward by the Inner Bati, who are.also affected by the Okana, the Yefa, and the Sensoba.
Jenieve desired to grasp her by the shoulder and walk her into the house; but when the world, especially Jean Bati' McClure's wife, is watching to see how you manage an unruly mother, it is necessary to use some adroitness. "Will you please come here, dear Mama Lalotte? Toussaint wants you." "No, I don't!" shouted Toussaint. "It is Michel Pensonneau I want, to make me some boats."
Bati received the prince with great condescension, but commanded him to continue his journey some hundreds of leagues further to the east, that he might pay homage to the grand khan in Tartary. It was a terrible journey, beneath a blazing sun, over burning plains, whitened by the bones of those who had perished by the way.
Bati, who was still encamped upon the banks of the Volga, sent to him a message as follows: "Prince of Novgorod: it is well known by you that God has subjected to our sway innumerable peoples.

The confidante came out on the step, and tried to lay her hand on Jenieve's shoulder, but the girl moved backward from her. "Now let me tell you, it is a good thing for you, Jenieve Lalotte.

"My dear Sir, you say that you have gourds to drink but of: we have not even that; we have to go down to the stream and drink out of our hands; I certainly cannot give you a bati." At this rebuff the poor Raja got up and went away feeling very angry at the manner in which he had been treated.
Jenieve cried, and she scarcely looked at Jean Bati' McClure's wife, but darted outdoors along the beach. "Oh, children, have you lost your shoes?" "No," answered Toussaint, looking up with a countenance full of enjoyment. "Where are they?" "In the lake." "You didn't throw your new shoes in the lake?" "We took them for boats," said Gabriel freely. "But they are not even fit for boats."
