How we knew that you were coming and how we came do not matter at all.

Believe what you will.

Are you ready to start with us, O Lord Macumazana, that you may bring to its death the wicked elephant Jana which ravages our land, and receive the great reward of ivory?
If so, your camel waits." "One camel cannot carry four men," I answered, avoiding the question.
"In courage and skill you are more than many men, O Macumazana, yet in body you are but one and not four." "If you think that I am going with you alone, you are much mistaken, Harut and Marut," I exclaimed.

"Here with me is my servant without whom I do not stir," and I pointed to Hans, whom they contemplated gravely.
"Also there is the Lord Ragnall, who in this land is named Igeza, and his servant who here is named Bena, the man out of whom you drew snakes in the room in England.

They also must accompany us." At this news the impassive countenances of Harut and Marut showed, I thought, some signs of disturbance.
