He was a ghost respected by all peoples Akasava, Ochori, Isisi, N'gombi, and Bush folk. By the Bolengi, the Bomongo, and even the distant Upper Congo people feared him.
Lieutenant Tibbetts went on: "Hear," said he in fluent and vitriolic Bomongo for he was using that fisher dialect which he knew so much better than the more sonorous tongue of the Upper River "O hear, eater of fish, O lame dog, O nameless child of a monkey!" M'fosa's lips went up one-sidedly.
In the faint light they saw him stiffen like a setter. "What is wrong?" Lord Castleberry was on his feet, and somebody clicked on the lights. But Sanders did not notice. He was looking towards the end of the room, and his face was set and hard. "O, M'fosa," he snarled, "O, dog!" They heard the strange staccato of the Bomongo tongue and wondered.
Then realizing from her frown that she did not understand him, he returned to Bomongo. "Lord, I will say what is to be said," she remarked, meekly, "for you have a gentle face and I see that your heart is very pure."
A man stood in the doorway, naked but for the wisp of skirt at his waist. Hamilton got up quickly, for he recognized the chief of Sandi's spies. "O Kelili," said Hamilton in his easy Bomongo tongue, "why do you come and from whence?" "From the island over against the Ochori, Lord," croaked the man, dry-throated.
He spoke in English, and Bosambo, resisting the temptation to retort in an alien tongue, and realizing perhaps that he would need all the strength of his more extensive vocabulary to convince his hearer, continued in Bomongo: "Now I tell you," he went on solemnly, "if Sandi had come, Sandi, who loves me better than his brother, and who knew my father and lived with him for many years, and if Sandi spoke to me, saying 'Tell me, O Bosambo, where is N'bosini? I answer 'Lord, there are things which are written and which I know cannot be told, not even to you whom I love so dearly." He paused.
