I have spoken." That this moderate and reasoned speech of Nandie's produced a great effect upon Saduko I could see, but at the time the only answer he made to it was: "Let the name of Mameena be spoken no more within hearing of my ears.
Mameena is dead." So her name was heard no more in the Houses of Saduko and of Umbezi, and when it was necessary for any reason to refer to her, she was given a new name, a composite Zulu word, "O-we-Zulu", I think it was, which is "Storm-child" shortly translated, for "Zulu" means a storm as well as the sky.
I do not think that Saduko spoke of her to me again until towards the climax of this history, and certainly I did not mention her to him.

But from that day forward I noted that he was a changed man.

His pride and open pleasure in his great success, which had caused the Zulus to name him the "Self-eater," were no longer marked.

He became cold and silent, like a man who is thinking deeply, but who shutters his thoughts lest some should read them through the windows of his eyes.

Moreover, he paid a visit to Zikali the Little and Wise, as I found out by accident; but what advice that cunning old dwarf gave to him I did not find out--then.
The only other event which happened in connection with this elopement was that a message came from Umbelazi to Saduko, brought by one of the princes, a brother of Umbelazi, who was of his party.
