Now it was one of these councillors who had said that doubtless meat would soon be found to feed the king's birds.
Then the king commanded those who do his bidding that they should take the children of Zinita and make away with them.
But when Zinita heard this she cried aloud, for she loved her children.
Then Dingaan mocked her.
"What ?" he said, "art thou a fool as well as wicked?
Thou sayest that thy husband, whom thou hast given to death, is born of one who is dead, and is heir to my throne.

Thou sayest also that these children are born of him; therefore, when he is dead, they will be heirs to my throne.

Am I then mad that I should suffer them to live?
Woman, thou hast fallen into thine own trap.

Take them away!" Now Zinita tasted of the cup which she had brewed for other lips, and grew distraught in her misery, and wrung her hands, crying that she repented her of the evil and would warn Umslopogaas and the Lily of that which awaited them.
