It remained upon the point of rock, and my forefather took it thence. It is a gift to the lady if she will promise to wear it." "Accept it," muttered Mr. Clifford, when he had finished translating this, "or you will give offence." So Benita said: "I thank the Molimo, and accept his gift." Then Tamas rose, and, advancing, cast the ancient, tragic thing over her head.
I have heard that many anecdotes of this nature have been collected and printed in a book, which I have not yet seen; but as the facts which I have recorded relate to a badger, they appear to me to be passing strange. In days of yore there lived a forefather of the Prince of Tosa who went by the name of Yamanouchi Kadzutoyo.
I. KANYIMBE, came from Lunda, attracted by the fish of Mofwé and Moero, and conquered Pérémbé's forefather, Katéré, who planted the first palm-oil palms here from seeds got in Lunda. It is probable that the intercourse then set afoot led to Kanyimbé's coming and conquest.

And, really, it is better to have for a forefather Hanu-man, the poet, the hero, the god, than any other monkey, even though it be a tailless one.
Obviously this old priest's forefather, or, if one put him at a hundred and twenty years of age, and I am sure that he was not a day less, perhaps his father, as a young man, was mixed up with some of the first Europeans who penetrated to the interior of Africa.
Such faithfulness is that of my forefather David for his brother Jonathan, and such love it is that passes the love of women.
