"Glaucoma!" ejaculated Winkleman. Kingozi smiled wearily. "Yes. I wondered when you would find it out." "You are all blind?" "I can distinguish light." Kingozi straightened his back, and his voice became incisive. "But I can still see through eyes that are faithful to me! Make no mistakes there." "My dear friend; have I not given my parole?" gently asked the Bavarian. "Beg your pardon. Of course."
When the banda was finished and a big pile of the dried hay had been spread as a couch Simba approached respectfully but firmly, took Bwana Nyele's helmet from his head, his spine-pad from his back, and his shoes from his feet. In this strategy Winkleman with reluctance admired the white man's hands.
"But I feel so much better, that I will get up," she added, now rising from her pillow. And Mrs. Winkleman was entirely free from pain. As she stepped upon the carpet, and moved across the room, it was with a firm tread. Every muscle was elastic, and the blood leaped along her veins with a new and healthier impulse. No trial of Mr. Winkleman's patience, in a late dinner, was in store for him.
The divulgence of this simple little plan by a Simba quite in earnest dissipated Winkleman's last hope of doing anything by means of persuasion. He knew his African well enough to realize that this fantastic method of identification seemed quite a matter of course. In fact, Simba was at the moment sharpening his hunting knife in preparation. Winkleman swore heartily and fluently, then grinned.
Take your own time and your own methods. But get the results." "I appreciate your confidence, sir," Kingozi had replied. "You and that man Winkleman are the best hands on earth with natives, and we know it. Requisition what you want." This woman was a Hungarian: she possessed a German official map. Could she be on official business? It did not seem likely.
What real reason besides his hopes had he for thinking she did not still hate him, or at least remain indifferent to him? So indifferent that even after her chance had passed she still neglected to inform him that the pilocarpin was not destroyed after all. Winkleman talked on and on about his saurian. Would he never stop and go away?
There they proceeded to make camp. The six porters began with their swordlike pangas to cut poles and wattles, to peel off long strips of inner bark from the thorn trees which would serve as withes. Then they began the construction of a banda, one of the quickly built little thatched sheds, open at both ends. At sight of this Winkleman swore deeply.
"I congratulate you," he replied drily. "Stupid! Oh, stupid!" she cried. "Do you not see why I am glad? It is you! Now you shall not sit forever in the darkness. You shall go back to your doctor, who will arrange your eyes." "Why?" asked Kingozi. "Why!" she repeated, astonished. "But it is 'why not! Listen! Have you thought? Winkleman is now but a week's march from M'tela.
He saw the triumph in it, and understood. The ivory stockade was unknown to any but themselves; still remained there in all its wealth awaiting the first trader. And that trader should be himself! "Poor, indeed!" she whispered to him. At this moment a roar of astonishment came up to them from down the slope. All turned to see Winkleman, the forgotten Winkleman, standing at the door of his tent.
"Let you or me, it does not matter take the magic bone, and with it take also this safari and its potio." "I will do it," assented Simba after a moment. "You will stay here to carry out the bwana's orders." In the course of the evening Winkleman, conceiving that the right moment had come, set himself seriously to establishing a dominance over these members of an inferior race.
