A public meeting was convened, and Moffat gave a circumstantial account of the information he had gathered. The enemy were a numerous and powerful body, they had destroyed many towns of the Bakone tribes, slaughtered immense numbers of people, laid Kurrechane in ruins, scattered the Barolongs, and, in addition, were said to be cannibals.
Sechele retired to a mountain fastness, named Lithubaruba, away to the north-west. As time passed onward, Robert Moffat felt more than ever the importance of completing the work he had undertaken the translation of the entire Bible into Sechwana. Every minute that could be devoted to the task was eagerly embraced, his labours often extending far into the night.
As the eh president of the eh Cattlemen's Shakespearian eh Reading Circle, I am asked to present to eh Miss Spencer a slight token eh of our esteem, and eh to express our pleasure at eh being permitted," he bowed to the choking Mr. Moffat, "eh to participate in this eh most glorious occasion." He stepped forward, and dropped into Miss Spencer's lap a small plush-covered box.
"Well, there has"; and Moffat forgot his natural caution in a sudden excess of anger. "No invitations was sent them fellers. Do you mean to say they come in through the roof?" Mason straightened up, his face darkening, his clinched fist thrashing the air just in front of Moffat's nose. "I say they come in yere, right through this door!

"One rather amusing thing I remember hearing years ago while standing with an old football player watching a Princeton game.
"Nevertheless I got Bagley's vote," said Frank, persisting in praise of his own electioneering prowess; "and you may be sure of this, Mr Nearthewinde, none of Closerstil's men were looking at me when I got it." "Who'll pay for the bonnets, Frank?" said George. "Oh, I'll pay for them if Moffat won't. I think I shall keep an account there; they seem to have good gloves and those sort of things."
Moffat heard that 'Tsui Kuap' was 'a notable warrior, who once received a wound in the knee. Sir James Alexander found that the Namaquas believed their 'great father' lay below the cairns on which they flung boughs. This great father was Heitsi Eibib, and, like other medicine-men, 'he could take many forms. Like Tsui Goab, he died several times and rose again.
One of the stipulations which he had made in securing Mr. Moffat for his counsel was that Carmel's name was to be kept as much as possible out of the proceedings; and to this Mr. Moffat had subscribed, notwithstanding his conviction that the crime laid to the defendant's charge was a result of Ranelagh's passion for Carmel, and, consequently, distinctly the work of Ranelagh's own hand.
There will be so little to do that with Lotty to run my errands and help me here and there, I shall only have enough work to keep me from getting lazy or homesick," answered Meg tranquilly. "Sallie Moffat has four," began Amy.
