"I know I'm scared to do some things, but I I don't believe I'm no coward. I ain't afraid to go down there, but I won't go to-night, ner let you go, fer it's the same as death to start now.

At night he is alone with his two Sudanese house-servants; but he is well protected his watch-dogs sit round his hut and nothing human would dare venture near them after dark."
