The Ivory Child

CHAPTER XIX
13/31

There is more love for him in my eyes alone than they have in all that makes them fair.

Say it to the Lord Macumazana that, as I know well, he goes down to battle and that the Lady Mameena will be with him in the battle as, though he saw her not, she has been with him in other battles, and will be with him till the River of Time has run over the edge of the world and is lost beyond the sun.

Let him remember this when Jana rushes on and death is very near to him to-day, and let him look--for then perchance he shall see me.

Begone now, Yellow Dog, to the heels of your master, and play your part well in the battle, for of what you do or leave undone you shall give account to me.

Say that Mameena sends her greetings to the Lord Macumazana and that she adds this, that when the Old Man and the White ones told you that Love is the secret blood of the worlds which makes them to be they did not lie.
