Nada the Lily

CHAPTER I
17/21

I will teach him another note--the brat of an evil prophet!" And putting down Baleka, she ran at the boy.
Chaka stood quite still till she was near; then suddenly he lifted the stick in his hand, and hit her so hard on the head that she fell down.
After that he laughed, turned, and went away with his mother Unandi.
These, my father, were the first words I heard Chaka speak, and they were words of prophecy, and they came true.

The last words I heard him speak were words of prophecy also, and I think that they will come true.
Even now they are coming true.

In the one he told how the Zulu people should rise.

And say, have they not risen?
In the other he told how they should fall; and they did fall.

Do not the white men gather themselves together even now against U'Cetywayo, as vultures gather round a dying ox?
The Zulus are not what they were to stand against them.
