Child of Storm

CHAPTER II
26/28

"I saw you with the Boers, and saw, too, that you were of another people--the people of the English.

You may have heard at the time that I was doctoring at the Great Place, although I kept out of the way and we did not meet, or at least you never knew that we met, for you were--asleep.

Also I pitied your youth, for, although you do not believe it, I had a little bit of heart left in those days.

Also I knew that we should come together again in the after years, as you see we have done to-day and shall often do until the end.

So I told Dingaan that whoever died you must be spared, or he would bring up the 'people of George' [i.e.the English] to avenge you, and your ghost would enter into him and pour out a curse upon him.
