Thirdly, because you have matched your single wit for many years against all the power of the royal House and yet kept your life in you, notably when Panda threatened you in my presence at the trial of one who has 'gone down, and you told him to kill you if he dared. Now you would prove that you were right by causing your cunning to triumph over the royal House." "True, quite true, O Macumazahn.
On the question being referred to Panda, he is reported to have remarked that when two young cocks quarrelled the best thing they could do was to fight it out. Acting on this hint, each prince collected his forces, Panda sending down one of his favourite regiments to help Umbelazi. The fight took place in 1856 on the banks of the Tugela.
He would say that others might settle the matter after he was dead." "Would that I could say so, too," muttered Panda; "but it is not possible." Then followed a long pause, during which all were silent, for every man there felt that the hour was big with doom.
But those words were not spoken, since Panda only said: "Let us try the case of this woman, Mameena."
Panda made overtures to the Boers and was gladly received as an ally, and with his help Dingaan was finally crushed and driven into Swaziland, where, in the hands of a hostile tribe, he perished miserably by torture. The emigrants were now favourably situated in Natal.
Yet he became captain of the Nkomabakosi regiment, and fought in many battles, doing mighty deeds, and stood by Umbulazi, son of Panda, in the great fray on the Tugela, when Cetywayo slew his brother Umbulazi. After that also he plotted against Cetywayo, whom he hated, and had it not been for a certain white man, a hunter named Macumazahn, Umslopogaas would have been killed.
"Come, now, I will promise you good sport. Outside this kraal there are other hyenas waiting who call me chief a hundred or two of them assembled for a certain purpose by the royal leave of King Panda, whose House, as we all know, you hate. Come, leave that beef and beer and begin your hunting of hyenas, O Masapo."
I looked out the window and I couldn't see anything but the big falling snowflakes and the sun going down over the hill. Now Bobby and I and the panda are all together and I'm glad mommy and daddy are gone.
By thy ascetic power thou canst create a universe of mobile and immobile creatures. What need then be said of thy having acquired many blessed regions by means of thy foremost of virtues? Dispel now the grief of the eldest son of Panda who is burning with sorrow on account of the slaughter of his kinsmen.
"Aye, woman," answered Panda, "you are taking part in a great game, but not, I think, such as is played by children a game of life and death. Now, have you heard the tale of Zikali the Little and Wise, and the words of Saduko, who was once your husband, or must they be repeated to you?" "There is no need, O King; my ears are too quick to be muffled by a fur bag, and I would not waste your time."
