But he looked at them with a smile, while I told him the price. "Eight hundred pounds less than their value," he answered, well satisfied. "You have no doubt of their reality?" I asked. "Not the slightest," he replied, gazing at them. "They are genuine stones, precisely the same in quality and type as Amelia's necklet." Amelia drew a sigh of relief.
But they do not love Dingaan, for his burdens are the burdens of Chaka but his gifts are the gifts of Dingaan; therefore they would welcome Chaka's son if once they knew him for certain. But it is here that the necklet chafes, for there is but my word to prove it. Yet I will try." "Perhaps it is worth trying and perhaps it is not, my uncle," answered Umslopogaas.
Be assured that I shall ever keep your necklet, for the sake of the givers. "And now, farewell! We must be back at our post, for the captain of the guard will be going his round, and we might be missed." "We shall never forget you, sir. May the blessing of God fall on you, for your kind deed!" "May all good fortune attend you!"
He kept a simple state, wore some slight apparel of cotton and a golden necklet. He brought gifts and an unfeigned sympathy for that death upon the sand bar. He and the Admiral sat and talked together. "Gods from heaven?" "Christian men and from Europe," and we could not make him, at this time, understand that that was not the same thing.
His wife told him that the dog had lost it in the undergrowth of the park, and that she and her maids had hunted a whole day for it. It was true, she explained to the court, that she had made the maids search for the necklet they all believed the dog had lost it in the park....
She disengaged herself from me, picked up a fur necklet from her chair, and went to the door. "Good-night," she said softly, and went out. Left to myself, I walked restlessly up and down the room. She was right. I could think of nothing but her words to me, and how her visit had changed my mood and all the atmosphere about me! It seemed as if she had filled it with electricity.
Her full, smooth, roundly modeled neck was enhanced in its cream-pink whiteness by an inch-wide necklet of black jet cut in many faceted black squares.
He looked so kind, she told me afterwards, that she felt as though she had never known him before; her eyes were filled with tears, so overwhelming a relief was it to find some one at last who sympathised and understood and wanted her to succeed. I remember that she was wearing that day a thin black velvet necklet with a very small diamond in front of it.
Some of the shops were still open, and as I passed down the main street the brilliant display in a jeweller's window, under the electric light, attracted my attention. I paused and looked in. I thought I would buy and take back some little thing to Suzee. It had been a dull evening for her. I went in and chose a necklet of Mexican opals.
"Yes; I took them all with me when I was sent to the convent, and have parted with none save the diamond necklet which I gave to the girl who brought Ronald and me together, as a parting keepsake, and a brooch with which I rewarded the men who aided us in the forest; but seriously, Angus, we must settle upon something." "I quite agree with you, Amelie; but what is that something to be?"
