He is not, of course, qualified, but he knows more about it than many a man who can write M.D. after his name, as we found out afterwards, and he had a splendid travelling medicine chest and a set of instruments. Whilst we were at Durban he cut off a Kafir's big toe in a way which it was a pleasure to see.
Never saw anything like it in my life before, y'know, and couldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Why, I wouldn't have given three ha'pence for that Kafir's life when I first set eyes upon him; but now, dash it all, I believe you're going to set him on his feet again. If you do, your fame will spread far and wide through the country, and do us a lot of good.
In the mean time it was whispered that the Bushreen, who always performed his evening devotions at the door of the kafir's hut, was more intimate with the young wife, than was consistent with virtue, or the sanctity of his profession.
In the meantime, it began to be whispered at Teesee, that the Bushreen, who always performed his evening devotions at the door of the Kafir's hut, was more intimate with the young wife than he ought to be.
As these runners were giving considerable trouble, it was decided to execute one and send the other two to spread the news among their friends black and white. The grave was already dug, when General Joubert, always against harsh measures, decided to spare the Kafir's life. The contrast between the bearing of this savage and that of the war-correspondent was most striking.
Ucatella, with all a Kafir's love of fire-arms, clapped her hands with delight. "My child shoots loud and strong," said she. "Ay, ay," replied Phoebe; "they are all alike; wherever there's men, look for quarrelling and firing off. We had only to sit quiet in the wagon." "Ay." said Dick, "the cattle especially for it is them the varmint were after and let 'em eat my Hottentots."
Some trace of the custom may be found in the Kafir's Slambuka or Schlabonka, for a description of which I must refer to the traveller Delegorgue. The Somal ignore the Kafir custom during lactation. The citizens have learned the Asiatic art of bargaining under a cloth.
