So about four o'clock I shut it up, whistled on Colin, and went for a walk along the Berg.
If there were no natives on the road, there were plenty in the bush.

I had the impression, of which Wardlaw had spoken, that the native population of the countryside had suddenly been hugely increased.

The woods were simply hotching with them.

I was being spied on as before, but now there were so many at the business that they could not all conceal their tracks.

Every now and then I had a glimpse of a black shoulder or leg, and Colin, whom I kept on the leash, was half-mad with excitement.
