I did inform his Majesty, and in double-quick time our friend Imbozwi was once more fished out of a grave by the strong arms of Babemba and his soldiers, and dragged into the presence of the irate Bausi. "Loose the white lords and their followers," said Bausi, "and let them come here."
We answered that we did not know but would think the matter over, as we had come from our own place for this purpose and meant to carry it out. Then the audience came to an end, and we returned to our huts, leaving Dogeetah to converse with his "brother Bausi" on matters connected with the latter's health.
"I have said that cannot be, O King." "If so, all is finished, O Komba. Rest, eat of our food and return to your own land." Then Brother John rose and said: "We are blood-brethren, Bausi, and therefore I can speak for you.
After a suitable pause I replied in a cold voice: "We are the white lions, Macumazana and Wazela, and we roar! we roar! we roar!" "I can trample," said Bausi. "And we can bite," I said haughtily, though how we were to bite or do anything else effectual with nothing but a Union Jack, I did not in the least know. "What is that thing?" asked Bausi, pointing to the flag.
Bausi nodded in the African fashion, that is by raising the chin, not depressing it, and Komba went on: "I have placed myself in your power, trusting to your honour. You can kill me if you wish, though that will avail nothing, since there are others waiting to become Kalubi in my place."
