Sindo's visit had been a stolen one, for the purpose of bringing away his wife and children. In this he had been successful; but he had also succeeded in bringing away something more, information that the Zooloo chief, that our young hunters had offended, was still thirsting for revenge for his losses and disappointments.
Of course conversation with the heroine of the hour was impossible, but this mattered, little to Agnes, for she could converse quite powerfully with her eyes, and her young friends chattered more than enough among themselves. Standing over her with a formidable pair of scissors, and grasping her front hair with her left hand, the coal-black Zooloo said
By her advice they cut off a good deal more of the flaxen hair, and deepened the dye on the eyebrows, nails, and palms. Gradually, however, Hanyfa drew the negress Zooloo from the scene of action, and entered into a very earnest conversation in whispers, quite unheeded by the riotous youngsters.
At Zamboanga, opposite Zooloo, there already exists a custom-house and other government offices for the regulation of their own trade with these islands. But no foreigners are allowed to reside at Zamboanga.
He therefore revealed all that he knew of the plot which was hatching, and of which he knew a great deal more than the Minister of Marine had expected, in consequence of his having been kept well informed by a negro girl, called Zooloo, whose capacity for eavesdropping was almost equal to a certain "bird of the air" which has been in all ages accredited with the powers of an electric telegraph.
On being brought back to the question, Macora stated that he was only giving them positive proof of his familiarity with the camelopards, since nowhere were these more abundant than in the country from which he had been expatriated by the tyranny of the Zooloo chief. It was his native land, where he had hunted the giraffe from childhood.
But for him, the Makololo chief would have put to death every Zooloo upon the ground, and then proceeded to their village to seek further retaliation. They all united in restraining him from violence; and the baffled murderers were permitted to take their departure without the least outrage being inflicted upon them. "Your arrival was very fortunate," said Hendrik, addressing Hans and Arend.
Macora could not or would not answer this question without taking his own time and way of doing it. He stated that the native country of himself and his tribe was far to the north and west; that they had been driven from their home by the tyranny of the great Zooloo King, Moselekatse, who claimed the land and levied tribute upon all the petty chiefs around him.
The first of these takes about a week to remove, and the last can be got rid of only by the growth of the nail. Agnes was not aware of this, else she might have objected. They finished up the adornment of the face by sticking it all over with gold spangles. "Now you look lovely," said Zooloo with her eyes stepping back and surveying her as a painter might his chef-d'oeuvre.
"Can't you understand the language he speaks?" "No, baas Willem, he talks no Zooloo, no Kaffir of any kind." "Then why were you pretending to interpret his language a few minutes ago?" asked Hendrik. "I was trying to learn it," answered Congo, in a tone conveying the belief that he had given a satisfactory answer. "We have no time to stop here for you to learn a language," said Hendrik.
