It was three days till he spoke, and, before his sense returned to him, I caused a great hole to be dug in the floor of the cave.

And there, in the hole, I buried Nada my daughter, and we heaped lily blooms upon her to keep the earth from her, and then closed in her grave, for I was not minded that Umslopogaas should look upon her dead, lest he also should die from the sight, and because of his desire to follow her.

Also I buried Galazi the Wolf in the cave, and set the Watcher in his hand, and there they both sleep who are friends at last, the Lily and the Wolf together.

Ah! when shall there be such another man and such another maid?
At length on the third day Umslopogaas spoke, asking for Nada.

I pointed to the earth, and he remembered and understood.
