Best that this jackal should live to eat his own shame," and he cast Thomaso to the ground, where he lay groaning. I got him to the house and in doing so made my way past, or rather between the bodies of the two Zulus and of the six men whom they had killed, also of him whom Inez had shot. Those Zulus had made a splendid fight for they were covered with wounds, all of them in front, as I found upon examination. |
