Then she bowed down and kissed his feet; and he left beating her and began to revile her, saying, "By my bonnet, if I see or hear thee weeping, I will cut out thy tongue and thrust it up thy kaze, city strumpet that thou art!" So she was silent and made him no reply, for the beating irked her; but sat down, with her arms round her knees and bowing her head, fell a-musing on her case.
To this I objected, as so many had tried it and failed, from reasons which had not transpired; and, at the same time, I said that if they would give me oe5000 down at once, I would return to Zanzibar at the end of the year, March to Kaze again, and make the necessary investigations of the Victoria lake.
Then she came up out of the water and throwing herself into the porter's lap, pointed to her commodity and said to him, 'O my lord O my friend, what is the name of this? 'Thy kaze, answered he; but she said, 'Fie! art thou not ashamed! And cuffed him on the nape of the neck. Quoth he, 'Thy catso. And she dealt him a second cuff, saying, 'Fie! what an ugly word!

We would not do this; and then they said, as they saw we wanted them, they would not desert us. We had now been at Kaze rather more than a month, and I thought Captain Burton would die if we did not make a move, so I begged him to allow me to assume the command pro tem., and I would see what I could do to effect a move.

When she heard this, she came up out of the water and sitting down on his knees, pointed to her kaze and said, 'O my little lord, what is the name of this? 'The sweet basil of the dykes, answered he; but she said, 'No! No! Quoth he, 'The peeled barleycorn. And she said, 'Pshaw! Then said he, 'Thy kaze. Fie! Fie! cried she. 'Art thou not ashamed? And cuffed him on the nape of the neck.
