At the least, it was she who turned her head away, and the Lily passed on smiling, and greeted Umslopogaas with a little nod.
"Hail, Nada!" said the Slaughterer.

Then he turned to his headmen and spoke: "This is she whom we went to the caves of the Halakazi to seek for Dingaan.

Ou! the story is known now; one told it up at the kraal Umgugundhlovu who shall tell it no more.

She prayed me to save her from Dingaan, and so I did, and all would have gone well had it not been for a certain traitor who is done with, for I took another to Dingaan.

Look on her now, my friends, and say if I did not well to win her--the Lily flower, such as there is no other in the world, to be the joy of the People of the Axe and a wife to me." With one accord the headmen answered: "Indeed you did well, Slaughterer," for the glamour of Nada was upon them and they would cherish her as others had cherished her.
