Yes, there was though--the driver Footsack, if he had got away, which, being mounted, would seem probable, a man who, for my part, I would not trust for a moment.

It would be an ugly thing to see Anscombe in the dock charged with murder and possibly myself, with Footsack giving evidence against us before a Boer jury who might be hard on Englishmen.

Also there was the body with a bullet in it.
Suddenly there came into my mind a recollection of the very vivid dream of Zikali which had visited me, and I reflected that in Zululand there would be little need to trouble about the death of Rodd.

But Zululand was a long way off, and if we were to avoid the Transvaal, there was only one way of going there, namely through Swaziland.

Well, among the Swazis we should be quite safe from the Basutos, since the two peoples were at fierce enmity.
