Nada the Lily

CHAPTER XXVIII
11/12

"I will dwell beneath the shadow of the Ghost Mountain while I may." "And so will I," said Galazi, "or rather among its rocks.

What! shall my wolves lack a master when they would go a-hunting?
Shall Greysnout and Blackfang, Blood and Deathgrip, and their company black and grey, howl for me in vain ?" "So be it, children.

Ye are young and will not listen to the counsel of the old.

Let it befall as it chances." I spoke thus, for I did not know then why Umslopogaas would not leave his kraals.

It was for this reason: because he had bidden Nada to meet him there.
Afterwards, when he found her he would have gone, but then the sky was clear, the danger-clouds had melted for awhile.
Oh! that Umslopogaas my fosterling had listened to me! Now he would have reigned as a king, not wandered an outcast in strange lands I know not where; and Nada should have lived, not died, nor would the People of the Axe have ceased to be a people.
This of Dingaan.
