"Drive her out'n here, Bub, ye fool!" yawned another, almost too sleepy for utterance. In the meantime I lay perfectly still. Not a sound escaped me, for although my heart beat like a sledge hammer, and I was trembling all over, I knew it was best not to speak. After a little more parleying they all went off to finish their "spree" elsewhere.
Naturally therefore, notwithstanding the exuberant expressions of gratitude on the part of Elizabeth, the republican Government were anxious to know what all this parleying meant. They could not believe that people would make a raree-show of the English envoy except for sufficient reason.

"Time that was no longer is," answered the other, crossly; then to me, "Send down my goods by some of those black fellows, and no more parleying, sir."

Then with much parleying the little furs such as rabbit and muskrat were exchanged for the gewgaws.
"Shall we hoist any colours, sir?" said the first mate to McElvina. "No if we hoist English, he will not commence action until he has made the private signal, and all manner of parleying which is quite unnecessary. He knows what we are well enough." "Shall we hoist a French ensign, sir?" "No; I'll fight under no other colours than those of old England, even when I resist her authority."

His voice showed decided pique as he answered: "Very well, Denas. Take care of your own honour, by all means; mine is of no value, of course." "If you think marrying me makes it of no value, take care of your own honour, Roland.
About midday three men approached to within hailing distance, and asked that three of the Zulus might come out for the purpose of parleying. So Kondwana and two of his men went out, and when they arrived within about a hundred yards of the others, stuck their spears into the ground and called out to the Makalakas to do the same, which they did.
