As we were all waiting on, I took a rise out of the Kamraviona by telling him I wanted a thousand men to march with me through Kidi to Gani.

Surprised at the extent of my requisition, he wished to know if my purpose was fighting.
I made him a present of the great principle that power commands respect, and it was to prevent any chance of fighting that we required so formidable an escort.

His reply was that he would tell the king; and he immediately rose and walked away home.
K'yengo and the representatives of Usui and Karague now arrived by order of the king to bid farewell, and received the slaves and cattle lately captured.

As I was very hungry, I set off home to breakfast.

Just as I had gone, the provoking king inquired after me, and so brought me back again, though I never saw him the whole day.
