But I did not tell him that Baleka, my sister, was his own mother.
When I had done my tale, Umslopogaas told me his: how Galazi had rescued him from the lioness; how he became one of the Wolf-Brethren; how he had conquered Jikiza and the sons of Jikiza, and become chief of the People of the Axe, and taken Zinita to wife, and grown great in the land.
I asked him how it came about that he still hunted with the wolves as he had done last night.

He answered that now he was great and there was nothing more to win, and at times a weariness of life came upon him, and then he must up, and together with Galazi hunt and harry with the wolves, for thus only could he find rest.
I said that I would show him better game to hunt before all was done, and asked him further if he loved his wife, Zinita.

Umslopogaas answered that he would love her better if she loved him not so much, for she was jealous and quick to anger, and that was a sorrow to him.

Then, when he had slept awhile, he led me from the hut, and I and my people were feasted with the best, and I spoke with Zinita and with Galazi the Wolf.
For the last, I liked him well.

This was a good man to have at one's back in battle; but my heart spoke to me against Zinita.
