Saduko accompanied him for a little way, but, making some excuse to the Prince, came back and said to me: "Macumazahn, my friend, I dare say that we part for the last time, and therefore I make a request to you.

It is as to one who is dead to me.
Macumazahn, I believe that Umbelazi the thief"-- these words broke from his lips with a hiss--"has given her many cattle and hidden her away either in the kloof of Zikali the Wise, or near to it, under his care.
Now, if the war should go against Umbelazi and I should be killed in it, I think evil will fall upon that woman's head, I who have grown sure that it was she who was the wizard and not Masapo the Boar.

Also, as one connected with Umbelazi, who has helped him in his plots, she will be killed if she is caught.

Macumazahn, hearken to me.

I will tell you the truth.
