Gilles disembowels him, and, cutting off the hands and tearing out the eyes and heart, carries these members into Prelati's chamber. The two men offer them, with passionate objurgations, to the Devil, who holds his peace.
Stephen and Mavovo, being the two strongest among us, now carried the plant, and although Stephen never murmured at its weight, how the Zulu did swear after the first few hours! I could fill a page with his objurgations at what he considered an act of insanity, and if I had space, should like to do so, for really some of them were most amusing.
On went the swaying crowd and on went the swaying chant, with Martin, director of ceremonies and Dunn hurling unavailing objurgations and entreaties at Jock's head. Through the uproar a girl's voice reached the doctor's ear: "Aren't they lovely, Sir?" The doctor turned to greet a young lady, tall, strong, and with the beauty of perfect health rather than of classic feature in her face.

Where he went that day no man ever knew, further than that he was seen in the afternoon in St.
