At least, Cetewayo says it was at Nandie's prayer, and at mine and yours, but what he means is that, after all that has happened, he thought it wise that Saduko should die of himself." "Do you mean that he should kill himself, Zikali ?" "No, no; I mean that his own idhlozi, his Spirit, should be left to kill him, which it will do in time.

You see, Macumazahn, Saduko is now living with a ghost, which he calls the ghost of Umbelazi, whom he betrayed." "Is that your way of saying he is mad, Zikali ?" "Oh, yes, he lives with a ghost, or the ghost lives in him, or he is mad--call it which you will.

The mad have a way of living with ghosts, and ghosts have a way of sharing their food with the mad.

Now you understand everything, do you not ?" "Of course," I answered; "it is as plain as the sun." "Oh! did I not say you were clever, Macumazahn, you who know where madness ends and ghosts begin, and why they are just the same thing?
Well, the sun is no longer plain.

Look, it has sunk; and you would be on your road who wish to be far from Nodwengu before morning.
