Is he not my guest, as you are ?" He then went on to say that if the commandant wished it, he would have "Two-faces" seized and killed because he had dared to ask for my life.
Retief answered that he would look into that matter himself, and after Thomas Halstead had confirmed the king's story as to Pereira's conduct, he rose and said good-bye to Dingaan.
Of this matter of Hernan Pereira, Retief said little as we went back to the camp outside the Kraal, though the little that he did say showed his deep anger.

When we arrived at the camp, however, he sent for Pereira and Marais and several of the older Boers.

I remember that among these were Gerrit Bothma, Senior, Hendrik Labuschagne and Matthys Pretorius, Senior, all of them persons of standing and judgment.
