On reaching camp totos had several clearly defined duties: they must pick out good places for their masters' individual camps, they must procure cooking stones, they must collect kindling wood and start fires, they must fill the sufurias with water and set them over to boil. In the meantime, their masters were attending to the pitching of the bwana's camp.
That story might be quickly disproved should his boys and Bwana's grow confidential. The event that he had failed to mention and which now urged him hurriedly after the girl and her escort had occurred during his absence early the preceding evening.
The Waziri gazed about in mute rage for several minutes. Everywhere they encountered only further evidence of the ruthlessness of the cruel enemy that had come during the Great Bwana's absence and laid waste his property. "What did they with 'Lady'?" asked one of the blacks. They had always called Lady Greystoke thus. "The women they would have taken with them," said Basuli. "Our women and his."
"Baynes," said Bwana, coming directly to the point, "Hanson is leaving for the north tomorrow. He has taken a great fancy to you, and just asked me to say to you that he'd be glad to have you accompany him. Good night, Baynes." At Bwana's suggestion Meriem kept to her room the following morning until after the Hon. Morison Baynes had departed.
He did not mention the subject again to Meriem, and in this he made a mistake, for the young girl, while realizing the debt of gratitude she owed Bwana and My Dear, was both proud and sensitive, so that Bwana's action in sending Baynes away and giving her no opportunity to explain or defend hurt and mortified her.
In his heart was a great yearning to take the girl in his arms; but in time he remembered the other the dapper young English gentleman and that he was but a savage, uncouth ape-man. Meriem looked up pleadingly into Bwana's eyes.
It was easy money and The Sheik had none too much easy money since the Big Bwana had so circumscribed the limits of his ancient domain that he dared not even steal ivory from natives within two hundred miles of the Big Bwana's douar.
He understood why he had wished to move the northern camp as far as possible toward the northern boundary of the Big Bwana's country it would give him far more time to make his escape toward the West Coast while the Big Bwana was chasing the northern contingent. Well, he would utilize the man's plans to his own end. He, too, must keep out of the clutches of his host.
