"Who told you that, O Tongue of Barung?" asked Maqueda in a low voice, speaking for the first time. "The man of the West whom you took prisoner he whom you call Fat One?" "No, no, O Walda Nagasta, the lord Black Windows has told us nothing as yet, except sundry things about the history of our god, with whom, as we said, he seems to be familiar, and to whom, therefore, we vowed him at once.
She welcomed him very kindly, and congratulated me upon my son's escape. Meanwhile, Roderick had been staring at her with evident admiration. Now he turned to us and said in his quaint broken English: "Walda Nagasta most lovely woman! No wonder King Solomon love her mother. If Barung's daughter, my wife, had been like her, think I run through great river into rising sun with Fung."
There, then, that matter ended. Now an officer cried: "Walda Nagasta speaks!" whereon every one repeated, "Walda Nagasta speaks," and was silent. Then Maqueda began to address us in her soft and pleasant voice. "Strangers from the Western country called England," she said, "be pleased to hear me. You know our case with the Fung that they surround us and would destroy us.
"I don't want to be rude, therefore I will not contradict you," he answered with a kind of groan, "or, indeed, say anything except that if any one else had spun me that yarn I should have told him he was a common liar. But, of course, as every schoolboy knows, Walda Nagasta that is, Child of Kings in Ethiopic is much the same as Bath-Melachim that is, Daughter of Kings in Hebrew."
