"I should have liked to have left a party in the forest," said Sanders; "I shall not rest until we get this thief Mimbimi by the ear." "I should not bother," said Hamilton dryly; "the sobering influence of your name seems to be almost as potent as my Houssas." "Please do not be sarcastic," said Sanders sharply, he was unduly sensitive on the question of such matters as these.
Mimbimi had called for his secret palaver and the most noble and arrogant of chiefs must obey, even though the obedience spelt disaster for the daring man who had summoned them to conference.
"He has disappeared as if the ground had opened and swallowed him," said Sanders bitterly. "O! Mimbimi, if I could have you now," he said with passionate intensity. "I am sure you would be very rude to him," said Hamilton soothingly. "He must be somewhere, my dear chap; do you think he has killed the poor old bird?" Sanders shook his head.

He is quite unknown to us." Mr. Blowter frowned thoughtfully. "He is difficult to describe! all natives are alike to me," he said slowly.

Blowter addressed the startled man. "Go you to the city of Ochori," he said, "and say 'Mimbimi, the high chief who is lord of the forest of Bim-bi, sends word that he has taken the fat white lord to his keeping, and he shall hold him for his pleasure."
