27950Any news, sir?
27950Are you going to the Grand Hotel?
27950Are you still worrying about that absurd money? 27950 Are you sure?"
27950As I asked you on Tuesday, I ask you again,''What do you think of a man who marries a woman when he does not love her?''

27950Coming here, sir?... 27950 Compensations that make it worth while?"
27950Could it in any way better be given the lie?

27950Do you know the Macaulays?
27950Do you know, Major Carew, your singularly appropriate nickname has been subjected to a little embroidery?... 27950 Do you know?"
27950Do you mean he has gone already and without saying good- bye?
27950Do you mean to say you sat perfectly still in front of him, and let him sit on, thinking himself alone, and then suddenly discover you?...
27950Does n''t Major Carew ever growl when he is here?
27950Eh... eh... eh... eh... ah,and when Aunt Emily had duly enquired,"What did you say, my dear?"
27950Gone?...
27950Has Major Carew been with you into the temple, yet?
27950Has Meryl a lot of pioneer spirit?
27950Has anyone ever thought of a Rhodes Scholarship, that might take the form of grants of land and be won by competition, I wonder? 27950 Has it any special object, or just a general one?"
27950Has my uncle something to do with your company? 27950 Have I?...
27950Have you everything you need for the night? 27950 Have you had hosts of visitors while you were all alone?"
27950Have you remembered it long enough?... 27950 Heiresses are seemingly not much in your line, sir?"

27950How long will you be away?
27950How should numbers of men of fine fibre ever reach Rhodesia at all? 27950 I need n''t, need I?..."
27950I presume you had your reasons?
27950I see; and you think it is for me to attend to the wounded?
27950I should like to, if Di really wants to go; otherwise we could quite well have remained on here, could n''t we?
27950I suppose he wo n''t have heard?
27950I suppose the letter does n''t specify the attention?... 27950 I suppose you are in earnest?"
27950I suppose you do not attempt to analyse it? 27950 I think I understood he was some connection of yours?"
27950I thought people who had been abroad always ran down missionaries, and scoffed at missionary work?
27950I thought you could not possibly return from Segundi for a week?
27950I wonder if Helen will have the sense to manufacture some request?
27950I wonder if my father owns land here? 27950 I wonder if the Major will come through to- night?"
27950I wonder what they are doing?... 27950 I wonder what you were thinking about just then?"
27950I wonder why Rhodesia is so fascinating?
27950I wonder why you say that?
27950If I speak to Meryl to- night, and she decrees that the engagement shall end, will you promise to ride this way to- morrow morning?
27950In a fortnight?
27950In this country I wonder if people say they are''out''or''asleep''when they do not want to be found''at home''?
27950In what way?
27950Is Meryl at home?
27950Is it possible,she asked slowly,"when it seems one side only is honest in its protestations?"
27950Is there some special haste then?
27950It must be a legacy?...
27950It''s a hideous tongue, and he knows it, and what''s the good of pretending anything else? 27950 Married whom?..."
27950May I ask in what exact particular?
27950May I write to you?... 27950 My dear young lady,"he remonstrated,"can you blame me for the unwise, indiscreet utterances of every Dutch predicant who opens his mouth?"
27950Need you ask?
27950Nor England?...
27950O well, it would be silly to pretend to be surprised, would n''t it?
27950O yes, even that; why not?... 27950 O, are there ghosts?"
27950O, do you really think so?...
27950O, is he an original also?
27950O, was it?...
27950O, what did they want to come for,he groaned,"if they had to go away again?"
27950O, wo n''t you at least go to Johannesburg?...
27950Of course you are thinking of starting back to- night and are in a great hurry?
27950Oh, did n''t you know there was nourishment in mule harness?... 27950 Only no one tells them so?"
27950Or are we going to be a... a... frightful nuisance?
27950Or do you mean unclean?
27950Perhaps Meryl knew?
27950Perhaps you will be coming to Johannesburg presently?
27950Perhaps you would sooner drop one on his head to make him look up?
27950Shall I have married her?...
27950Shall I see your father to- night?
27950Shall I wind up again?
27950Shall we go on now?
27950Shall we have your company for a day or two? 27950 Should n''t we ever need to wash?"
27950So you came home to worry us?...
27950Surely it had already reached the limit of human ingenuity?
27950Surely,she thought,"he is not genuinely angry just because I did not tell him I was there?"
27950Tell me something I can do to help them, Billy?
27950Tell me what?...
27950That you are English and I am Dutch?... 27950 That''s the missionary and his wife, is n''t it?
27950The Bear?...
27950The King?...
27950The bear?...
27950The same sort of policeman as Mr. Stanley, I suppose?
27950Then Mrs. Grenville did not tell you?
27950Then we may not see you again before we start for Salisbury?
27950Then what in the world is_ he_ buried in the wilderness for? 27950 Then what?
27950Then why was she crying?
27950Then you knew he cared for someone else?
27950Think you can bear it, aunty?...
27950To any particular end?
27950Was our bronze image a bit hit too? 27950 Well, afterwards?..."
27950Well, how did you get out of it?... 27950 Well, uncle,"was Diana''s greeting,"what do you make of The Bear?"
27950Well, what about Rhodesia? 27950 Well, what does thrive?"
27950Well,he said again,"about that summons?..."
27950Well,she said,"how did you get on with The Bear?
27950Well?...
27950What actions?... 27950 What are you going to do?..."
27950What did Diana say?
27950What did Major Carew say?
27950What do you mean, Diana?
27950What do you think?
27950What does it mean, Billy?... 27950 What does it say to you, Meryl?..."
27950What else did he do?
27950What for?
27950What happens when you two overbalance and do n''t happen to be near enough to catch each other?... 27950 What has given you the notion, Meryl?
27950What have you been doing?
27950What in the world,she wondered,"was this smart, soldierly looking man, correctly booted and spurred, sitting down there for in the ruins?..."
27950What question?...
27950What to do?
27950What?...
27950When it played catch- ball with them?
27950When?...
27950Where did he come from?
27950Which question? 27950 Who has to sit on a chair?"
27950Who is The Bear?
27950Who told you?...
27950Who would have thought of finding you here?
27950Why are we here? 27950 Why cowardly?..."
27950Why did he come?
27950Why do n''t you try and teach your people to play the game?
27950Why do you ask it like that?
27950Why do you run away when, for once in a way, you have the chance of a little companionship? 27950 Why do you think he is out here at all?
27950Why do you think so?
27950Why in the world do you want to go to Rhodesia?
27950Why is that, do you think?
27950Why may I not?
27950Why shall I have to take you?
27950Why?
27950Will it be all right for my niece to accompany us?
27950Will you have your dress fitted now?
27950Will you let me congratulate you?
27950Will you take me if I promise not to ask any silly questions?
27950Will you tell me what it is you have to say?
27950Wo n''t you sit down? 27950 Wo n''t you sit down?
27950Would n''t you rather have a nice quiet summer in England?
27950Would you like us to go?
27950Would you mind helping me down?
27950You did n''t know I was a politician, did you?... 27950 You found it very engrossing?"
27950You have n''t always been in this part of Rhodesia?
27950You have n''t yet said, How do you do?
27950You mean Major Carew? 27950 You mean?..."
27950You mean?...
27950You mean?...
27950You read Omar?
27950You saved her?...
27950You speak almost as if you never expected to go there again?
27950You think so?
27950You wonder why she engaged herself to you?... 27950 You?..."
27950Your friends, Mr. and Mrs. Grenville,she said coldly,"would they care to see us if we called, or would they think it perhaps just vulgar curiosity?"
27950_ Do_ you know what you want? 27950 _ You?_..."as if she could not believe her own eyes.
27950''s are pretty cheap nowadays, are n''t they?
27950Ailsa, snug in her little bed, thought happily about the earth and its glad renewing, and woke up her precious Billy to say,"Are you awake, Billy?
27950And are you proud of the mission farm?...
27950And as soon as the other boys discovered...""Did they duck his head in a bucket?..."
27950And he had found?...
27950And how did you leave Salisbury?"
27950And how is your old heap of stones?"
27950And if the instrument used was a woman, has not a great nation itself been built up through such instrumentality?
27950And in any case, how could he tell her his story?
27950And now?...
27950And suddenly, Diana, giving rein to her impulsive temperament, said,"What is your opinion of a man who marries one woman and loves another?"
27950And what about Mr. Stanley, who is also a representative of the Government that made the laws?"
27950And you eat a lot of bully beef, now do n''t you?"
27950And you?"
27950And, anyhow, the great question just now is, having taken over the bridegroom, ought I to take over the wedding presents as well?..."
27950Anyhow, who_ did_ vote the money for the new Government buildings?..."
27950Are we not both South Africans?..."
27950Are you afraid of a spill?..."
27950At last,"And when do you think I should say this to Meryl?"
27950At last--"Is he in Rhodesia now?"
27950Beside those settlers''wives he had said were heroines, was she but an idle, contemptible, useless heiress?
27950But if it was also a sacrifice, an offering of herself and her happiness upon some altar of need, ought he to let her fulfil it?
27950But what had this to do with the trust that was hers?
27950But what of it to the syren?...
27950But what of it?
27950But what?...
27950But who is he?..."
27950But why are n''t you and your brother making a fortune?
27950But why is he?
27950But women are the devil, are n''t they?"
27950Can I offer you anything?
27950Can you hear it?...
27950Coming here to Zimbabwe?"
27950Could a sudden call be arranged?...
27950Could all his love and hope and tenderness bring back joy to the eyes that were his heaven and his earth?
27950Could anything truly separate them if once the love were born?
27950Could he ask any other woman to share that with him?...
27950Could it have been less so?...
27950Could it perhaps be overruled?
27950Could she love him truly enough to hold his love for ever, and through it lead him to heights he might never even sight without her?
27950Could two such humans meet and not love?
27950Diana clapped her hands, feeling her point was won easily, and then added,"Could n''t we take Mr. Stanley with us?
27950Diana went straight to it, and sent a wire, with prepaid reply, directed to Major Carew, which ran:--"Can you come at once?
27950Diana, what you asked me was, what did I think of a man who married one woman and loved another?
27950Did anything else really matter?...
27950Did he chore you up over anything?"
27950Did he see in her only a willing accomplice to her father''s money- making schemes?
27950Did the Kaffir boom shed its great red flowers for ever, like drops of blood upon the altar of the world''s pain?
27950Did you know he was once engaged to someone who died?"
27950Do n''t you hear the note of revelling now?...
27950Do n''t you hear them?...
27950Do n''t you?"
27950Do you happen to know?"
27950Do you remember our first meeting in the ruins, when I sat quite still and watched you until you looked up?...
27950Do you remember the original question, or must I tell you what it was?"
27950Do you think there are any?"
27950Do you think there is anything to eat there except locusts and wild honey?"
27950Do you think they''ve brought their lunch with them, or shall we send them some?"
27950Do you want to go a journey to convert heathen, or preach Christian Science, or explore untrodden country?
27950Does anything else really matter if you can love me in return?"
27950Does the dinner come in and find you both sprawling on the floor?"
27950For answer, she said thoughtfully,"I wonder if something hurt him very badly some time or other?"
27950For you at least they are worth while?"
27950Going strong?...
27950Granting that what you have told me is true, what do you expect me to do?"
27950Grenville?"
27950Had Rhodesia, in her sunny loveliness, been wife and child to the great man who went lonely to his grave?...
27950Had he cared for it all very much then?...
27950Had he ever told anyone?
27950Had he for a moment believed that it would?
27950Had he not then outlived anything?
27950Had he only put his memories lightly to sleep, and dreamt all the life he had lived since?
27950Had he, after all, been seriously delayed?
27950Had he, that great Imperialist, looked at it with those calm eyes of his, and known just that sense of aching love?...
27950Has Rhodesia any use for... for such as I?"
27950Hated its remote magnificence and devilish cruelty, and worshipped it because you could n''t help yourself, either from fear or wonder?
27950Have you any ideas at all, or are you just a blank?"
27950Have you found a gold- mine up there?...
27950Have you heard that little song before that I was singing?
27950Have you made up your mind how you propose to heal him?"
27950Having asked, she added with a light touch,"I imagine you are hardly ready yet for libraries and public parks and orphanages?"
27950He paused, then added,"I wonder if he has the remotest idea that, owing to several deaths, he is now the next heir to the Marquis of Toxeter?"
27950He was a great hunter who had lost his way, and dragged himself into the temple to die....""I thought you said he strode in?..."
27950How are you?"
27950How came they with long, dark, curling lashes when her hair was a dusky, light shade, with soft waves and gleams of sunlight?
27950How can I go to her and tell her that once I killed the woman I loved?...
27950How can I speak to her of love-- I, the policeman, she the heiress?...
27950How can I tell her that story which was told to you?...
27950How could I?...
27950How could Meryl let you?...
27950How could any land, however willing, look spruce and green and clean with no rain for four months?
27950How could any self- respecting young cock bird or male insect go and pay his addresses in a dusty, dirty, faded coat?
27950How could he go to her with that story and empty- handed as well; she the heiress of great wealth, and he without even a name and position?
27950How could you be so careless?
27950How do you know she has not cared for this man for a long time?
27950How shall I explain?
27950How would it go?...
27950How, why, where?...
27950I hardly thought.... Have you... have you... remembered everything?..."
27950I have married a wife, an English one, therefore I can not come?..."
27950I hope Mr. Stanley has made himself very useful?"
27950I hope he thinks so?"
27950I may call you Meryl, may n''t I?...
27950I mean the dust and the journey?
27950I shall not tell the Jo''burg folk about not aiming; why should I?
27950I suppose we could both come?"
27950I suppose you have n''t heard?"
27950I suppose you knew that he was going to be married just before he came away, and something rather dreadful happened?"
27950I understood from the young trooper there that he is some relation to the Fourtenay- Carews?"
27950I wonder at what particular point you saw first?..."
27950I wonder if, in another existence, I was one of the wives or handmaidens in Abraham''s caravanserai?
27950I wonder why God painted such lovely scenes where no one ever came, or scarcely ever, to see them?"
27950If I persuade father to take me up to Rhodesia with him, will you come too?..."
27950If he then married an Englishwoman, not even South African born, would he not be held up to ridicule by his colleagues?
27950If it was true, how was it he had never heard?...
27950If there were anything I could do to serve you?..."
27950If you were going on to the top of the kopje, may I come with you?"
27950In a more serious mood, however, she asked him presently,"I suppose it has been rather a disappointment?...
27950In a young, struggling country what place was there for the idly, gracefully rich?
27950In all the annals of the race, is there anything to compare with their service to the coming swarm?"
27950In any case, what right have I to cross_ his_ path now?"
27950Interest, excitement of a kind, freedom....""And the women?"
27950Is he rich and haughty, with lovely estates left to dishonest stewards, and all that?..."
27950Is n''t it enough that you know she could love you as a Rhodesian soldier- policeman?
27950Is n''t it the same with the men?"
27950Is the grass dry enough to burn to- night?"
27950Is this one of the rich rewards Life holds in the palm of her hand for the path- finders?...
27950It was just a silly muddle altogether, do you see?...
27950Laughter and gay music and devil- may- care colonists awaking echoes that have been more or less silent to civilisation for how many thousand years?
27950Meinheer van Hert, Mister Pym says, will you drink with him?..."
27950Meryl had it on the tip of her tongue to add,"They do n''t mind even millionaires''daughters?"
27950Meryl laid a sympathetic hand on her arm and murmured,"And you?..."
27950Meryl, I wonder if we shall ever see anything quite like this again?
27950Nay, why did he half begin to wish that he had not let himself be overruled by his own counsel of prudence?
27950Now do you understand?"
27950Now, I want to know how and when you discovered that I loved another?..."
27950Now, did n''t you?..."
27950O, what did it matter about afterwards, if one had put up a good fight and dared the deep waters?
27950Of course it ca n''t go on; but what in the name of all that''s wonderful can I do to stop it?...
27950Once seated, however, he turned to her and said, gravely,"Of course, that remark of yours had to do with our conversation the last time we sat here?"
27950Only, what could she do; ah, what?
27950Or does n''t it all sometimes make you just long to scream?...
27950Or was it indeed all finished for ever?
27950Or why, since he had chosen not to do so, could he not put the whole remembrance from his mind?
27950Perhaps if I could get Major Carew to talk?..."
27950Shall I ask her?..."
27950Shall I go now?
27950Shall I tell you a little, or will it bore you?"
27950Shall we go back?"
27950Shall you like that?..."
27950She kissed his hand again, and asked in low tones,"Why was she crying when she came out of the study?
27950She only looked at him a trifle anxiously, saying,"But, of course, you could never give up Rhodesia?
27950She was rich, she was free, she was young, she was strong; why dawdle and dream among the fiords of Norway?
27950She was silent a few moments, and then added simply,"I suppose you knew him personally?"
27950She who did not even bear the heat and burden of the day in making the money?...
27950She... she... is not sorry about things?..."
27950Stanley, looking much amused, replied,"You must mean the Major; but you have n''t met him, have you?"
27950Suddenly Diana asked,"I suppose he is pretty sick about two modern young women presuming to journey here to gaze at his treasure?"
27950Surely that were the simpler plan?
27950Surely the wonderful old ruins are somewhere near Edwardstown, father?
27950The making of walls and fortifications for another race, centuries afterwards, to look upon with cold wonder and curiosity?
27950The one perhaps who spent the gains heartlessly and carelessly elsewhere?
27950The only question that seemed to arise was, what did she specially want of the women ready to serve her?
27950The wedding he so dreaded was safely prevented, but would the happiness come back?...
27950The young trooper watched him a moment, and then added:"Did you have trouble with M''Basch?"
27950Then Meryl spoke:"Why ca n''t we go back with you to South Africa, father?"
27950Then she had not gone with Stanley and Diana?
27950Then, changing her voice subtly, she enquired,"Is it too much for you, aunty?...
27950There is nothing whatever to fear, but if it would add to your comfort?..."
27950There was a decided gleam in the millionaire''s eyes as he inquired,"And what do you want to do instead, Di?"
27950These might be won some day as restful leisure hours in a strenuous life; but without the just winning, what had they to do with her?
27950They moved towards the hotel together, and Ailsa asked,"Have you seen them?"
27950Thought it out thoroughly?...
27950To what end turn this existence, blessed by fortune with wealth and the power wealth brings, though suddenly swept bare of joy?
27950Unanimous in what?...
27950Was he really coming at last?
27950Was he still grinding at his report, she wondered, looking like a bronze figure?
27950Was it all, then, vanity, this building and striving?...
27950Was it as lovely then?...
27950Was it possible that Ailsa''s accusation was true?
27950Was it possible that already his preference was given to Diana, with her light raillery and ready laugh?
27950Was it the altar of sacrifice?
27950Was she ill for long?"
27950Was the other perhaps to be sacrificed to his rigid, indomitable pride?
27950Was there any special kindness in letting him know that I had the perspicacity to see it?"
27950Was there still time to get away, he wondered?
27950We prodded him last night, did n''t we?"
27950Well, I wonder what Dutch Willie will have to say to that?"
27950Were there many like them among his own countrymen?
27950Were they blue, or were they grey?...
27950Were they brave, were they mighty in stature, those men who evolved and achieved those wonderful defence works?
27950Were they fair, those women of that old, old day?
27950Were you wondering what you are here for too?"
27950What can have influenced her?...
27950What can it be?...
27950What did he mean?...
27950What did he not mean?...
27950What did she want with an English village?
27950What did they want with ancient rites and wonderful relics of antiquities?
27950What did you do?..."
27950What do you and your colleagues want it for so badly, anyway?..."
27950What do you say, Meryl?...
27950What does it matter who and what I was before?...
27950What else is there in heroism?
27950What had become of it?...
27950What had become of the gay Londoner, who drove the smartest four- in- hand in the park, and rode the fastest horse to hounds?
27950What has kept him so reserved in every particular all these years?"
27950What have those lonely mountains worth revealing?
27950What have you been doing all the week?"
27950What he said was,"Do you wish me also to lose my career and leave the Blues?"
27950What in the world can a man like that see in a missionary?
27950What in the world was she to say to him?...
27950What is it?...
27950What might it not result from?...
27950What of it, Meryl?...
27950What shall I do with all this money my father makes?
27950What shall we do?
27950What shall you say to your colleagues the next time they are expecting you at one of their fiery denunciation meetings?...
27950What should such a man as he be drawn to except in friendly intercourse in a girl as young and simple and undeveloped as herself?
27950What should_ you_ do, for instance, if you suddenly found you cared for someone else more than Meryl?"
27950What then should she do with her life?
27950What to her was a yachting cruise in Norway?
27950What was there to say?
27950What was to be done?
27950What''s the use of decayed old walls anyway?
27950What, in the name of fortune,_ is_ the good of going to Rhodesia?
27950When she felt she had complete control of her voice, she asked,"And you were never able to be married?"
27950When will you see her?"
27950Where is Jeanne, I wonder?
27950Where should she go?
27950Where then are the bones of their dead?
27950Where was the gold taken to from Solfala, and by whom?
27950While for her?...
27950Who could she be?...
27950Who do you pay it to?"
27950Who shall attempt to explain?...
27950Who shall say?...
27950Who was it came for gold in those old, old days?
27950Why are you sure he is an artist?"
27950Why ca n''t he behave like an ordinary man just once in a way?
27950Why does Rhodesia fascinate?
27950Why had he come back?
27950Why had he looked full and deep into her eyes like that?...
27950Why had he not gazed only upon the mountains that soothed and refreshed him?...
27950Why had he not taken her?
27950Why need they come?...
27950Why not go and get it over, instead of troubling to send an excuse?
27950Why not to- night?"
27950Why not wait and see them first?"
27950Why not?"
27950Why scale Swiss mountains?
27950Why should he be?
27950Why should it?..."
27950Why should n''t I have a little romance if I want to?
27950Why should we be condemned to some dull little hole of an English village, just because there is to be no London season?"
27950Why should we?...
27950Why torture yourself unnecessarily?"
27950Why was he hovering in the grip of it again, that strong need of the human, however resolute, for sympathy, for companionship, for understanding?
27950Why, after all, should he not go with her just once, and no doubt Diana also, and tell them a little about the mysterious walls?
27950Why, there are lions and elephants and things, and the natives are savages; surely no mines are worth running such risks?"
27950Will you kindly say good- bye to the ladies for me, should I be prevented doing so in person?"
27950Will you ride the same way to- morrow?"
27950Will you sometimes write to me?...
27950Will you stay in Bulawayo, or go back to Johannesburg?"
27950Will your party allow you to consummate the match, do you think?..."
27950With all his money, and all his power and influence, what could he do in this one thing that seemed to matter beyond all other things?
27950Wo n''t you sit down?
27950Wo n''t you sit down?"
27950Would a scheme like that work, do you think?"
27950Would anything ever ease it in reality?
27950Would he ever tell anyone?...
27950Would humanity ever sing again as the sons of the morning?
27950Would you all like to go to Norway?"
27950Would you like a police- boy to keep guard here all night?
27950XX FAREWELL"Did I hear the growl of a bear?"
27950Yet how could it very well be otherwise?
27950Yet if penance were required, what had he not given?...
27950Yet what use to fret and trouble now?
27950You and I do n''t either of us care for much beating about the bush and subterfuge, do we?"
27950You did n''t find much brilliance there, I imagine?
27950You do n''t seem to mind his bearishness, Meryl?
27950You know, of course, that Meryl Pym has become engaged to Mr. van Hert, the well- known Dutch politician?"
27950You surely did n''t imagine I was going to carry a sun- umbrella about, did you?"
27950You will be there?"
27950You would n''t let any claim come before hers?"
27950_ I_ offer love to Meryl Pym?...
27950a sudden need for hasty departure?...
27950are you really and truly a missionary?"
27950bravely;"your country?..."
27950do you call it?...
27950do you hear that?...
27950have you lived beside this all these months?''
27950if he had stayed in the army?"
27950in quick surprise; and after a short, tense silence,"Then why in the world?..."
27950is it likely?..."
27950let the burden of such a memory faintly touch her life?...
27950or is the plural Bantams?...
27950or the corpses in the temple hung with gold ornaments?..."
27950or would he go quietly on through his life, self- contained, self- dependent, aloof?
27950that keeps Major Carew so aloof?
27950that... that... perhaps it belongs to it?..."
27950the happiness that had been in that household before they went to Rhodesia?
27950the millionaire?...
27950what?...
27950what?...
27950why ca n''t I have a hut in the wilderness?..."
27950you will know that I mean, is it your day of lordly graciousness, or is it the cast- iron, beware- of- the- bull frown day?"
32926A pretty house, Nompiza-- ah-- ah-- a pretty house, is it not?
32926Action?
32926Active service?
32926Am I getting irremediably freckled and tanned?
32926Am I interrupting you?
32926Am I not colonial enough?
32926Am I? 32926 And I am among friends at last, and safe?"
32926And do you remember my asking if there was n''t a chance of the natives rising and killing us all?
32926And if he had not` taken possession''of me in that ghastly place on the Umgwane, and kept it ever since, where would I be now?
32926And is that why he was reduced?
32926And now, what is this vengeance?
32926And one in particular, eh?
32926And so you know their language and have to look after them? 32926 And so you were coming to me for refuge?"
32926And tattered? 32926 And that is all?"
32926And thought a great deal of him?
32926And what might that be?
32926And who will give it when there are no more whites in the land?
32926And would you mind so very much if it did not?
32926And you keep them in order, and know all that''s going on?
32926And you knew me from that?
32926And-- for Umlimo?
32926Are you dead sure your imagination was n''t playing tricks with you, Nidia? 32926 Are you influencing these rebels, then?"
32926As soon as myself?
32926As to the first-- skittles; as to the last-- why do you think so?
32926At our own risk? 32926 Back again, eh?
32926Bless the man, is he quite a fool?
32926But I do n''t want it, ca n''t you understand?
32926But have you ever told anybody else what you have told me?
32926But how did I get here? 32926 But how do we know these chaps are not lying?"
32926But if they were his own people they would not harm him?
32926But is n''t it full of savages now?
32926But what you do, missis? 32926 But where is she?"
32926But will you not join us? 32926 But you admit that it is one which entails a grave responsibility?"
32926But-- where are the rest of you? 32926 By the way, I wonder if they brought our bicycles from the station?"
32926Ca n''t? 32926 Can we get there to- night?"
32926Contrary to your orders? 32926 Did I fall far?"
32926Did I? 32926 Did n''t I tell you I was studying her rather closely?
32926Did you think so, Susie? 32926 Did you?
32926Didst thou glance over one shoulder on the way hither, Nanzicele? 32926 Do I happen to know?
32926Do I?
32926Do n''t you, or wo n''t you, understand that you are the cause of getting Nidia talked about? 32926 Do they ride bikes much up- country-- I think you said you were from up- country, did you not?"
32926Do you know Bulawayo at all?
32926Do you?
32926Do_ you_ wish it?
32926Dogs? 32926 Dost remember how I was driven from thy father''s kraal with jeers?
32926Er-- could one have a tub-- among other things?
32926Er-- which policeman is it, Piccanin?
32926Even then, why should we not?
32926Even your vigilance was as nothing against me, John Ames, for did I not step right over you while you slept?
32926Find any nice girls down there, eh, Ames?
32926Gave? 32926 Good- bye?"
32926Has he done wrong?
32926Has n''t it?
32926Hast thou brought what I desired of thee, Nanzicele?
32926Have I not spoken?
32926Have n''t you had enough of that sort of thing yet, Nidia? 32926 Have n''t you had enough of that yet?"
32926Have you forgotten that last long day of ours, down by the sea, that you can ask such a question?
32926Have you not been treated well-- treated with every consideration and justice by your officer? 32926 He had no gun, you say?"
32926He who is servant to Jonemi?
32926Her way, is it? 32926 Here''s a bloody nigger, ai n''t there?
32926How I can know? 32926 How do you know he''ll appreciate the distinction you propose to confer upon him?
32926How many are there?
32926How much you give me?
32926How the mischief am I going to get through the rainy season? 32926 How''s that?"
32926I dare say you''ve blazed away nearer a thousand cartridges than a hundred, eh, Ames?
32926I ought to start by to- night''s train--then, breaking off--"Where is Mrs Bateman?
32926I wonder is it?
32926In battle?
32926In hiding? 32926 Is it long since you came out?"
32926Is it safe up there?
32926Is n''t he that rather good- looking chap who was sitting at our table the day I had lunch with you at Cogill''s?
32926Is n''t the journey a frightful one?
32926Is that one of your boys?
32926Is there anything in that Umlimo superstition, do you think, John?
32926Is there no fear of those dreadful savages rising some night and killing us all?
32926Is this how my orders are obeyed? 32926 It was n''t our faults, was it?"
32926Jimmie, my poor child, what has happened? 32926 John,"she said, looking up suddenly,"is it because of what I told you yesterday?"
32926Jonemi?
32926Kids?
32926Lupiswana, for one?
32926Marry who? 32926 May n''t I go with you?"
32926Miss who?
32926Moseley, Tarrant-- you might step forward and meet her, eh? 32926 News?"
32926Nidia, is it fair to encourage that man as you do?
32926Nidia,called a voice from within-- a voice not untinged with acerbity--"won''t Mr Ames come inside?"
32926No more whites in the land? 32926 No more?"
32926No? 32926 Not John Ames?"
32926Now, how often have we fought over this already? 32926 Of what art thou thinking, Nompiza?"
32926Oh, as to that,he rejoined, speaking in a tone of studied carelessness,"where should I have been all this time without you?
32926Oh, it''s about Miss Commerell they are talking? 32926 Oh, she does` appeal''to you, then?
32926Once yours?
32926Really? 32926 Really?
32926Rinderpest? 32926 Robinson, was n''t it?"
32926Roll up, man, and have an appetiser, Crosse, you''ll cut in?
32926Running away?
32926Safe?
32926Safety? 32926 Say, Ames-- what sort of show you think we got?"
32926Sea air? 32926 Seen me before?"
32926Shall I tell you something-- darling?
32926Show? 32926 Sikumbutana?
32926So you''ve met before?
32926Strange, is n''t it, how adaptable one can become?
32926Such` little extra care''as you displayed only yesterday, John Ames? 32926 Sun over the yard- arm yet?
32926Ten? 32926 That may be when thou art old and tottering, Nompiza, or it may mean this night, for what is time but a flash, even as that of the summer lightning?
32926That so? 32926 The children of Umlimo have pretty houses, do they not-- pretty houses?"
32926The parting of the ways?
32926The proposed move? 32926 The son of Mambane?"
32926The son of thy father, who is servant to Jonemi?
32926The time, Children of Matyobane? 32926 Then how will you face the-- parting of the ways?"
32926Then it was you I challenged that morning in the dark?
32926Then what revenge could you wreak that would be too full, too sweet, upon whosoever should be instrumental in bereaving you of her for ever? 32926 Then why is he not here, long before now?"
32926Then you do n''t believe in a particular prophet who talks out of a cave?
32926Then, how did you know--"--About the explorations? 32926 They are for Umlimo?"
32926This night? 32926 This night?"
32926Thou knowest Pukele-- the servant of Jonemi?
32926Three-- may not I keep one of them? 32926 Thy sister, formerly wife of Makani?"
32926To go home? 32926 To remain where I am?
32926To show a broader road to more whites to come into it by? 32926 To take care of you?
32926To whom is she going? 32926 Trust your life to him, would you?"
32926Tub? 32926 Tub?
32926Was I right?
32926We have had a good time, have n''t we?
32926We met last under very different circumstances, did n''t we, Mrs Bateman?
32926We''ve taught them how to fight the devil with fire-- eh?
32926Well, Susie, was n''t I justified in my prediction?
32926Well, and what''s the latest in the way of scares?
32926Well, but, Nidia, how much further is this thing to go? 32926 Well, now, Ames, you''ll roll up to` skoff''at seven, wo n''t you, unless you''ll change your mind and come in now?"
32926Well, what did Nanzicele do?
32926Well, when I tell you people are beginning to talk about it?
32926Well?
32926Were you all the time at the Cape before coming up here, Miss Commerell?
32926What about Nompiza?
32926What are you waiting for, you blanked idiots?
32926What did I put on?
32926What did the fool run up against our guns for, in that cast- iron hurry?
32926What do you think of that, John Ames?
32926What have you been troubled about? 32926 What is it?"
32926What is that, Pukele?
32926What is the life of a man, more or less, when Umlimo has spoken?
32926What is the matter?
32926What is this?
32926What shall I do to make you talk?
32926What sort of a place is Bulawayo?
32926What sort of a time did you have down in Cape Town, Ames?
32926What the devil do you mean, sir, by disobeying orders? 32926 What were you wondering?"
32926What, is it you see-- or know? 32926 What?
32926What?
32926When I woke up in the dark--"Are you sure you did wake up in the dark? 32926 When must you go?"
32926When? 32926 Where am I?"
32926Where are thy people-- the other Amakiwa-- and thy horses?
32926Where did you know each other?
32926Where have we not met?
32926Where is she going? 32926 Where you go?"
32926Where?
32926Which man? 32926 Which prediction?
32926Who are you?
32926Who is he, George?
32926Who is it?
32926Who is the` dog''? 32926 Who is` Pukele,''Miss Commerell?"
32926Who talks of time? 32926 Who talks of time?"
32926Who the devil is Hollingworth when he''s at home, Moseley?
32926Who were the indunas he was talking with?
32926Who?
32926Why did you do that?
32926Why have you-- have you all done this thing, Nanzicele?
32926Why should there be any parting?
32926Why should we lose sight of each other?
32926Why so?
32926Why, then, should Makiwa[ Matabele term for the white man] wish to bewitch all the cattle?
32926Why, we were fellow- passengers, fellow- actors, fellow- all- sorts- of- things, were n''t we, Miss Commerell? 32926 Why?
32926Will the reward be of lead or of raw- hide?
32926Wished well and acted well towards us?
32926With more than two ideas in his head?
32926Wo n''t you, old chap? 32926 Wonder if there are any crocs in these water puddles, Moseley?
32926Wot''ll yer tike for the chawnce?
32926Would n''t you?
32926Would you?
32926Yea-- whose?
32926Yes; are n''t they?
32926Yes; he is different to the general ruck, is n''t he?
32926Yes? 32926 Yes?
32926Yes?
32926Yet why should you ever have entertained it? 32926 Yonder dogs, shall we call them and set them on to devour this white witch?"
32926You are a policeman, are you not?
32926You are feeling much better than when you came down, are you not, Mr Ames?
32926You do n''t think they have-- killed him?
32926You had a long time to run yet, had n''t you?
32926You know him, then?
32926You know him?
32926You will send no cattle?
32926You-- a policeman? 32926 Your horse jump, Ames?"
32926` Present company--''of course?
32926------------------------------------------------------------------------"How will you face the parting of the ways?"
32926A blow from behind, a sudden stab, in the desperate impulse of the moment-- what more likely?
32926A cry?
32926A moan?
32926A table?
32926Aloud she said--"I wonder when_ we_ shall be going up- country?"
32926Am I not right?"
32926And Nanzicele?
32926And our cattle-- whose hand was it that destroyed them daily?"
32926And she?
32926And so I encourage John Ames, do I?
32926And the wizard?
32926And these?
32926And what of Nidia herself?
32926And what of the unfortunate trooper?
32926And when they should be over-- what then?
32926And-- this vengeance?"
32926Are those birds ready?"
32926Are you fond of bicycling?"
32926Are you likely to be going up there?"
32926Are you sure it wo n''t inconvenience you?"
32926Are you sure you did not dream you woke up?"
32926Are you the devil himself?"
32926As against that, what if he were mistaken, or partially so?
32926Ask, when you are safe again, how many found it?
32926Baboons?
32926Blood?
32926Breathed there a mystic atmosphere in this weird place which affected the mind?
32926But before they should meet again-- what?
32926But can you get to the sea so soon?"
32926But for him where''d I be now?
32926But here, in the very home of the superstition they had been discussing, could there, after all, be more in it-- more than met the eye?
32926But how did you find your way up here, and when?"
32926But how do you talk, to them?
32926But how would that avail one who has been bitten by Lupiswana?
32926But now?
32926But on what errand?
32926But the dead boy?
32926But the means of descent?
32926But the time, O Word of the Wise?
32926But was it a dream?
32926But what avail?
32926But what if I do not get through?
32926But what if it is some poor wretch who is lost?
32926But what is the` thing''when all''s said and done, and what sort of fish are in the kettle?
32926But what of the more practical side?
32926But why transform the ordinary and mundane into a paradise for one who was to be suffered but one glimpse therein, and now was to be cast forth?
32926But within?
32926But you said he was a reliable boy?"
32926But, Nidia, is n''t it rather rough on the man?
32926But, as my American adorer,` Major''Shackleton, would say,` Oh, do drive on,''By the way, is he the man I am encouraging?"
32926But,"--sitting up, with a stare of blank amazement--"but-- who are you?"
32926But-- how could anybody get up there?
32926But-- oh, what would I have done with that horrible fiend of an animal but for you?
32926But-- was it human?
32926But-- was that all?
32926But-- what was this?
32926But-- what were we talking about?"
32926But-- why had he been spared?
32926But-- you do n''t really think me unfeeling and hard- hearted, Mr Ames?"
32926Ca n''t you tell them it is absolutely impossible to come back just now, that-- er-- in short, on no account can you?"
32926Can anything be clearer than that?"
32926Can they by any chance ever do anything right according to you fellows?"
32926Can they talk English?"
32926Can you not tell me?
32926Cawn''t a chep mike a bloomin''blanked nigger awnswer a question when a gentleman arsts''i m one-- hy?"
32926Could it be that his ideal had stopped down from her pedestal?
32926Could it be that she had deputed this cursed, parrot- faced, interfering woman to take up her part and so clear the ground for her?
32926Could it really be that that odious woman was deputed by Nidia?
32926Could she trust him?
32926Could the_''Nkose_ take any of them on?
32926Could they be?
32926Could they have been authentic?
32926Could this mysterious personage be indeed the chief actor in them?
32926Dare he use his rifle?
32926Did he remember?
32926Did n''t he bring you to me?
32926Did she welcome the fortuitous relief or not?
32926Did that account for the fact that he was still alive?
32926Did the speaker actually hear at that moment a shadowy echo of the mocking laugh which had been hurled at him from the darkness, or did he imagine it?
32926Did you get me here alone?"
32926Didst thou see Lupiswana following thee, yea, even running at thy side?
32926Do I encourage them?"
32926Do n''t you hear?
32926Do n''t you remember all that abominable cannon nuisance when we were in the Bernese Oberland?
32926Do n''t you think it the best plan?"
32926Do n''t you think so?"
32926Do n''t you think you come here rather often?"
32926Do you happen to know that only a couple of days ago I was requested not to come here any more?"
32926Do you promise to observe my instructions implicitly?"
32926Does n''t it, Susie?"
32926Eh, Dibs?"
32926Fires?
32926Great Heaven, where can she have been all this while?
32926Had anything befallen him?
32926Had he any message?
32926Had he by chance put them on the table, and left them there?
32926Had he cleared out, they speculated?
32926Had it seen her?
32926Had she no thought for him and his safety?
32926Had the being, whatever it was, actually entered the cave, passing him seated there on guard?
32926Had the savage enemy found them out at last?
32926Had their mother taken those earthquakes of children for a walk?
32926Have I got a good memory, John?"
32926Have I not always wished well and acted well towards you?
32926He continued to shake his bowl of abomination and mutter; then he went on:"The last time you heard the Great Voice, what did it say?
32926He had delivered the one message, but what of the other enclosure, the one which in some mysterious way concerned himself, the packet marked"B"?
32926Heard anything of it?"
32926Heaven knows how long we are destined to roam the wilds together, but why not keep the conventional until our return to conventionality?"
32926Heavens, what did it mean?
32926Heavens, what do you want to go getting yourself killed for?
32926Here, I say, d''you know Tarrant?
32926Hesitate not, or--""Shall I be allowed to depart from here if I tell, child of the Umlimo?"
32926His heart swelled with an intense and earnest thankfulness, when-- What was that long stealthy movement, away on his right?
32926Hole?
32926How could he harbour such a thought amid the great glad joy of hearing that her safety was assured?
32926How did he get him reduced?"
32926How had he escaped?
32926How shall I earn forgiveness?"
32926How should she have forgotten that this dreadful sorcerer could read the thoughts of men?
32926How was Mrs Bateman?
32926How would she receive the communication?
32926How would they meet?
32926How?"
32926Human?
32926I ca n''t help being a tease, can I?
32926I can be an awful tease at times, ca n''t I?
32926I say, Selwyn, where would you and I have been now but for our friend here giving us the office?
32926I say, old chap, why do n''t you chip in for some of old Madula''s daughters-- marry''em, do n''t you know?
32926I sent him out to find you, and he said you had been among the Matabele, but had been able to leave them again--""Who?
32926I suppose you are in hiding, like ourselves?"
32926I suppose you will be joining one of the forces taking the field as soon as possible, wo n''t you, Mr Ames?"
32926I was wondering?"
32926I wonder are there any exceptions to the rule?"
32926I wonder where he is now?"
32926If there are no King''s cattle for me to send, how can I send any?
32926If this is a general outbreak, what of Hollingworth and his crowd?"
32926Instead of carrying them out promptly, were ye all asleep or drinking beer with the women?
32926Is he getting on well up here, Mr Hollingworth?"
32926Is it anybody we know?"
32926Is n''t he here?
32926Is n''t he?"
32926Is n''t it very exciting?"
32926Is n''t that the correct newspaper phrase?
32926Is not that` word''plain enough, Nanzicele?"
32926Is not this blue- eyed girl you were taking care of for so many days all the world to you-- more than life itself?"
32926Is she ready?"
32926Is that Hollingworth?"
32926Is that nothing?"
32926Is the child mad?
32926Is there an Umlimo cave down there, where they are?"
32926It is something, after all, to be of some use, as I was telling you the other night; do you remember?"
32926It would n''t look well, would it?"
32926John Ames?"
32926Kwa Jonemi?"
32926Man or devil?
32926Might not there be among these some who would befriend him, even as Pukele had done before?
32926Miss Commerell, who''d have thought of meeting_ you_ here?
32926Moseley, can she have escaped?"
32926Mr Ames lives somewhere up here, does n''t he?
32926My boy?
32926Natives?
32926Nice cheerful work it would have been romping about the mountains alone, would n''t it?"
32926Nice girl, is n''t she?"
32926Nidia rejoined--"What in the world will we do when our time comes?"
32926Nidia''s self- possession breaking down so signally?
32926No chance of him clearing with it, eh?"
32926No?
32926Not hurt?"
32926Not really?
32926Now he said softly--"And the other ten cartridges, those in thy bag, Nanzicele?
32926Of death, is it not, my father?"
32926Oh, my dear little boy, what does it all mean?"
32926Oh, why was he so late?
32926Or why not cut that white throat and see the red blood flow?
32926Ought n''t we to try to help him?"
32926Passing beneath this, the trio stood in a circular open space, at the upper end of which were three huts,"What place is this?"
32926People received bequests, even from unknown testators-- received them thankfully; why should not he?
32926Pleasant, is n''t it?"
32926Pukele?"
32926Reinforcements?
32926Rescue?"
32926Samvu?
32926See the plan?"
32926See?"
32926Selfish?
32926Shall I tell thee?
32926She continued--"As you say, why_ should_ we lose sight of each other?
32926She staggered as though to sink into a swoon, when-- What was that?
32926Should they fail him in a matter where private feeling, however deep, was concerned?
32926Snapped?
32926Some hoax?
32926Some practical joke?
32926Still, would it be possible for this satanic being to commit further deeds of atrocity and of blood?
32926Suppose_ Uconde_--bobyaan-- he come again, you much flighten?
32926Tell me, are you able to throw them off while you are away, or do you lie awake sometimes at night wondering if things are going right?"
32926That he might deliver his message to the outside world?
32926That night-- shall I ever forget it?
32926That shape, brushing past him in the darkness-- the hollow, demoniacal laugh?
32926The capture or death of the Umlimo-- would it not be effectual to stop the rising?
32926The fact of a few cattle being sick was seized upon by their rulers as a pretext for the destruction of all; and what would become of the people then?
32926The key?
32926The only thing we ever do fight about, is n''t it?
32926The other man wore a police uniform, you say?
32926The roads are splendid, are n''t they?"
32926The time?
32926The time?"
32926The"brilliant future mapped out for her"--the words seemed burnt into his brain-- what part or lot had he in such, he a mere penniless nobody?
32926Their names?
32926Then gravely,"Any-- er-- losses?"
32926Then he said:--"And this Nanzicele-- is he that big tall Kafir who was nearest us, on the outside of the line, during the cattle- shooting?"
32926Then, excitedly,"Pukele, you do n''t think-- they-- followed him up in the dark-- and-- and killed him?"
32926Then, to her--"Which way he go?"
32926They_ would_ have done this?
32926This woman is in our power; shall we let her go?"
32926To him she said,"Yes; it''s a pity, is n''t it?"
32926Umlimo cave, what dat, missie?"
32926Was I to keep Madula talking for a moon instead of a very small piece of a day, to give thee time to rest thy lazy carcase and go to sleep?
32926Was he at home?
32926Was he dreaming?
32926Was he himself capable of such a hardening-- of so gigantic and ruthless and lifelong a feud?
32926Was he uncertain of the place?
32926Was it a dream, indeed, or was it the actual face which she had seen?
32926Was it a dream-- an awful nightmare?
32926Was it a prophecy?
32926Was it a signal?
32926Was it easy to find the way?
32926Was it for this she had allowed her to leave her English home"for a peep into wild life,"as they had put it when the much debated question had arisen?
32926Was it human?
32926Was it likely they would suffer him to depart, in order hereafter to bear testimony against them?
32926Was it not selfish to feel any sort of satisfaction under such circumstances?
32926Was it only of herself she could think at such a time?
32926Was n''t it bad enough when you nearly did-- when I-- when we-- all thought you were?
32926Was not everything dark enough in all conscience, and what outlook did life afford?
32926Was not his resolution a quixotic one; now, indeed, an impossible one?
32926Was that really a flash of consternation, of regret, that swept over it?
32926Was the child really going off her head?
32926Was the speaker right, after all?
32926We''d have been quietly knocked on the head-- eh?"
32926Well, is there not the wretched sufferer lying bound and helpless within the hut?
32926Well, what do you think the fellow has been doing?
32926Well, when you going to get it for John Ames?
32926Were he to keep this knowledge to himself, how many lives would be sacrificed which otherwise might have been saved?
32926Were his eyes and ears utterly deceiving him?
32926Were not the words thereof as mine are now-- I, its child?
32926Were these people cannibals-- secret cannibals, perhaps?
32926Were they, after all, treacherous?
32926Were you to sit down and weep over the loss of your friends until some obliging barbarian should come up and put an end to you?
32926What can it have been?"
32926What did it mean?
32926What did you think, Nidia?"
32926What do I know about things here, and where would I have been now but for you?"
32926What do you mean, Nidia?"
32926What do you think of this place, Nidia?"
32926What had become of the two natives?
32926What have they done to you-- to-- to everybody?"
32926What his tragic past?
32926What if I were so fortunate as to come in as your escort?"
32926What if he should not come back?
32926What if his own wanderings had ended thus, substituting Matopo for Lebombo?
32926What if the sound of hammering should reach hostile ears?
32926What impulse moved her to put out both her bands to him?
32926What is it?"
32926What matter?
32926What must you have felt, when you first found yourself adrift?"
32926What of their cattle which had all been killed?
32926What on earth do you want to tub now for?"
32926What then?
32926What was it?
32926What was it?
32926What was it?
32926What was that over there?
32926What was that?
32926What was this sudden access to competence in such a case?
32926What was this?
32926What was this?
32926What was to be done with such a girl as this?
32926What would Nidia''s own people have to say in the matter?
32926What would become of her?
32926What would it contain, and how could such contents in any way conduce to his own welfare?
32926What would she do when they returned to safety, and their ways would lie apart?
32926What''s the news?"
32926What-- who could it be?
32926What-- who-- had scared it?
32926What?"
32926When on earth did you get here?
32926When you have done your round on the Continent, why not come back here and make this your home?
32926Whence the languor that seemed to attend his waking hours, the drowsy disinclination to move?
32926Whence, then, this rock-- this rock which somehow seemed to weigh upon him like a tombstone?
32926Where am I, did you say?"
32926Where are you now?
32926Where can he be?"
32926Where have we met before?"
32926Where indeed?
32926Where is he?
32926Where is it?"
32926Where was Mafuta?
32926Where was he, and when was he coming to see her?
32926Where were all the cattle?
32926Where were all the people?
32926Where would she find shelter, let alone food?
32926Where you from?"
32926Which corner did you leave it in?"
32926Whither could she turn-- whither fly?
32926Who could the man be?
32926Who made me so?
32926Who says so?"
32926Who was this strange being?
32926Who were they, he asked, and where going?
32926Who''ve got guns?"
32926Whose jeers were the loudest?
32926Whose mockeries the most biting?
32926Why did n''t you like to ask me, Miss Commerell?
32926Why had he induced either of them to come near such a hateful country?
32926Why had he not been the one to end his hopes and fears then in that swift and easy manner?
32926Why had_ he_ been spared?
32926Why have I told you?
32926Why is it that I do not feel it more, think of it more?
32926Why not return?
32926Why not?
32926Why not?
32926Why not?"
32926Why should I?"
32926Why should he wreck his life''s happiness upon any rock of false pride?
32926Why should you think so?"
32926Why then had he fled?
32926Why were they all under arms in this way?
32926Why, and with what object to serve, had the Umlimo spared and tended him?
32926Why, indeed, should any false pride stand in the way of his acceptance of it?
32926Why?"
32926Will that satisfy you?"
32926Will the land never again yield corn?"
32926Would he look surprised and pleased?
32926Would he never return?
32926Would it discover her presence?
32926Would it fly at her?
32926Would it not be better to wait until he had brought Nidia safely and triumphantly through the multifold perils which still overhung their way?
32926Would n''t that make a scene-- eh?"
32926Would she feel more than a transient sorrow or regret when she heard of his end?
32926Would that grave, firm face relax as he greeted her, the straight glance of the grey eyes soften ever so little as it met hers?
32926Would they never have finished their_ indaba_?
32926Would you have come to see me?"
32926Yes?
32926Yet stay-- what is this?
32926Yet why had they not murdered her at first?
32926Yet, was it merely a sense of the external contrast which was afflicting him?
32926Yet, was it too late?
32926Yet, what can appear there within, for the rock face is inaccessible to any save winged creatures?
32926Yet, why should this consciousness bring with it a feeling of elation?
32926You are the man who saved his life, when the others were all murdered?"
32926You can get about from here, too, ca n''t you, Mr Moseley?"
32926You ever fight Matabele before?"
32926You have resigned your appointment, have you not?
32926You remember what the orders were to Nanzicele?
32926You savvy?
32926You were his servant?
32926You were not able to catch his name?"
32926_ Has_ been?
32926_ Me_, remember?"
32926_ You_ Umlimo?
32926_ You_ in it, eh?"
32926_ You_ the Umlimo?"
32926_ You_ using naughty swear words?
32926and was he not in duty bound to further this end in the interests of his fellow- countrymen?
32926had not just such a time come?
32926had she not?
32926looking from one to the other, in a half vacant way,"But where is Pukele?"
32926must she look again and go mad?
32926shall we slay?
32926shall we wait Darkness of doom?"
32926what was this?
32926where would I have been?"
32926why did I ever allow you to leave me, my own, my true chivalrous love?"
32926would they never pass?
