As a result, there was the spire standing at the end of the shadowy church vivid and distinct. And there was the clock with its two copper hands exactly on the stroke of noon! "Tell me what you see, Little Flower," said Menzi in a hollow voice. "I see what Father told me he would think of, a church and the spire of the church, and the clock pointing to twelve."
It seemed, however, that he might as well have stayed away, since on his arrival he found that this woman had become one of the Chief's wives, for which reason he afterwards killed that Chief, Kosa's father, and possessed himself of the woman, who died immediately afterwards, as Menzi suspected by poisoning.
Paul was bitten by a viper upon the Island of Melita, and how he shook it off into the fire and took no hurt. "He must have been like Menzi," said Ivana, who was present, whereon Tabitha's other attendant, who was also with her as it was daytime, started an argument, for being a Christian she was no friend to Menzi, whom she called a "dirty old witch-doctor."
When they went out again Menzi had departed, and so had the others. The place was empty. The following day was Sunday, and Thomas locked the church on the inner side, and read the service with Dorcas and Tabitha for sole congregation.
Why should the Teacher be angry because he, Menzi, offered to do what the Teacher could not save the land from starving? And as for the gifts to himself, did not White Teachers also receive pay and offerings at certain feasts?
The owner of the eyes, as Thomas guessed at once, was Menzi, a witch-doctor very famous in those parts. "Why are these men armed with spears? It is against the law for Kaffirs to carry spears," he said to the Chief. "This is Portuguese Territory; there is no law in Portuguese Territory," answered Kosa with a vacant stare. "Then we might be all murdered here and no notice taken," exclaimed Thomas.
Bull did not hear it; you may have noticed that she had gone on ahead, and if I were you I should not repeat it to her, since ladies are so nervous. Tabitha, my dear, don't tell your mother anything of all this." "No, Bishop," answered Tabitha, "I never tell her all the queer things that Menzi says to me when I meet him, or at least not many of them."
