Also that he says that if we run back he will walk forward alone with these Mazitus. Still, if any of you hunters desire to slip off, he will not look your way, nor shall I. What say you?" "I say, Macumazana, that, though young, Wazela is a chief with a great heart, and that where you and he go, I shall go also, as I think will the rest of us.
Well, he do that every night. Well, that why people of White Kendah want you to kill him and take all that ivory which they no dare touch because it in holy place and Black Kendah not let them. So he live still. That what we wish know. Thank you much, Macumazana. You very good look through-distance man. Just what I think. Kendah 'bacco smoke work very well in you.
In a sense Harût admitted this to me, for suddenly he looked up and said in a changed voice and in Bantu: "You are a good reader of hearts, O Macumazana, almost as good as I am. But remember that there is One Who writes upon the book of the heart, Who is the Lord of us who do but read, and that what He writes, that will befall, strive as we may, for in His hands is the future."
One of these led John Dunn's horse. Of those Government men there may have been thirty or forty, and of the "kraal Kafirs" anything between two and three hundred. I shook Umbelazi's hand and gave him good-day. "That is an ill day upon which no sun shines, O Macumazana," he answered words that struck me as ominous. Then he introduced me to John Dunn, who seemed glad to meet another white man.
"This is a lucky journey; I never thought there would be hope of war so soon. My Snake forgot to mention it the other night. Sleep safe, Macumazana. Nothing that walks shall reach you while we live." "Don't be so sure," I answered, and we lay down in the bedroom with our clothes on and our rifles by our sides. The next thing I remember was someone shaking me by the shoulder.
"How if we take you, O Macumazana?" "How if I kill you both, O Harût and Marût? Fools, here are many brave men at my command, and if you or any with you want fighting it shall be given you in plenty. Hans, bid the Mazitu stand to their arms and summon Igeza and Bena." "Stay, Lord," said Harût, "and put down that weapon," for once more I had produced the pistol.
"Into this stone," he said, holding up the white pebble so that the light from the fire shone on it since, save for the lingering red glow, it was now growing dark "into this stone I am about to draw your spirit, O Macumazana; and into this one" and he held up the black pebble "yours, O Son of Matiwane.
Here the jovial-looking Marût whispered something into the ear of his companion, smiling all over his face and showing his white teeth as he did so. "Oh!" went on Harût, "my brother tells me you meet one snake already, down in country called Natal, but sit on him so hard, that he grow quite flat and no bite." "Who told him that?" gasped Savage. "Oh! forget. Think Macumazana. No?
"O Macumazana," she said, while I still held it or, to be accurate, while she still held mine "indeed my heart is glad to see a friend again," and she looked at me with her appealing eyes, which, in the red light, I could see appeared to float in tears. "A friend, Mameena!" I exclaimed. "Why, now you are so rich, and the wife of a big chief, you must have plenty of friends." "Alas!
"A war is breeding, Macumazana, the last great war in which either the White Kendah or the Black Kendah must perish. Or perhaps both will die together. Maybe that is the real reason why we have asked you to be our guest, Macumazana," and with their usual courteous bows, both of them rose and departed before I could reply. "You see how it stands," I said to Ragnall.
