Bosambo formed his royal procession, but there was no occasion for it, for Bones was in no processional mood. "What the dooce do you mean, sir?" demanded a glaring and threatening Bones, his helmet over his neck, his arms akimbo. "What do you mean, sir, by saying I'm married to your infernal aunt?" "Sah," said Bosambo, virtuous and innocent, "I no savvy you I no compreney, sah!
I seem to have heard a similar observation before." "You've made Bosambo and the whole of the Ochori as sick as monkeys, and you've made me look a fool." "Hardly my responsibility, sir," said Bones, gently. "I hardly know what to do with you," said Hamilton, drawing his pipe from his pocket and slowly charging it. "Naturally, Bones, I can never let you loose again on the country."
Also, in nights of storms there are men who see even devils." With more than ordinary care he prepared for the final settling with Bosambo the Robber, and there is a suggestion that he was encouraged by the chiefs of other lands, who had grown jealous of the Ochori and their offensive rectitude.
It had come to be a by-word of the people when they discussed their lord with greater freedom than he could have wished, the tyranny of Bosambo was better than the tyranny of Akasava. Amongst the Ochori chiefs, greater and lesser, only one was conspicuous by his failure to carry proper offerings to his lord.
To one person only had Bosambo unburdened himself of his schemes. In the privacy of his great hut he had sat with his wife, a steaming dish of fish between them, for however lax Bosambo might be, his wife was an earnest follower of the Prophet and would tolerate no such abomination as the flesh of the cloven-hoofed goat. He had told her many things.
But Bosambo was too cheery and optimistic a man to doubt that his action would incur the censorship of his lord, and, moreover, he was so filled with his own high plans and so warm and generous at heart at the thought of the benefits he might be conferring upon his patron that the illegality of the meeting did not occur to him, or if it occurred was dismissed as too preposterous for consideration.
Have you any idea how he arrived there?" "I think I have," said Sanders, with a grim little smile, "and I think I shall be calling on Bosambo very soon." But that was a threat he was never destined to put into execution. That same evening came a wire from Bob. "Your leave is granted: Hamilton is to act as Commissioner in your temporary absence.
"Lord, it is true," said the old chief, "we seek a shining thing that will stay white when it is white, and black when it is black, and the wise Idoosi has said, 'Go down into the earth for truth, seek it in the deeps of the earth, for it lies in secret places, in centre of the world it lies." Bosambo thought long and rapidly, then there came to him the bright light of an inspiration.
He was half dead with weariness, for the whole of the previous night, while Bosambo snored in his hut, Bones, pinching himself, had wandered up and down the street of the city qualifying for his title. Now, as he rose unsteadily to his feet, it was to confront Bosambo Bosambo with four canoes grounded on the sandy beach of the island. "Hello, Bosambo!" yawned Bones.
"Lord," rejoined the other, "it is no king's feast, but a great dance of rejoicing, for our crops are very plentiful, and our goats have multiplied more than a man can count; therefore my father said: Go you to Bosambo of the Ochori, he who was once my enemy and now indeed my friend. And say to him 'Come into my city, that I may honour you." Bosambo thought.
