Nay, I answered, the god I mean is called Heu-Heu,
not Dacha. Yes, lots, I replied with energy, but perhaps of another
sort.
Yet strangely enough it was all wildly, deliriously
exciting andreally I seemed to enjoy it.
Ithought you were asking of other
things.
Surelythere must be plenty of fire where he is,
Baas.
Dacha looked towards us, hesitating, and I saw that
it was time toact. Evidently they knew allabout the Tree of Visions, as I, or rather
Zikali, had named it.
Then I understood, and bade him produce a new box
of Best Wax Vestasand hold it out in his hand. But stay, I will tell you what
haschanced. Are you not our honoured guests and the messengersof a Great
One?
You fellows have readof the effects of opium
smoking; well, it was that kind of thing, onlyworse. I suppose that these remarks,
or something in my eye, impressed him. Then she fell down there upon the table and
was still. Meanwhile, I understand that you wish to get out ofthis place and to save
your sister.
His messengers were here in ourfathers
day.
Here I stopped and watched the effect of my shot
out of the corner ofmy eye. I obeyed, thinking it safer, and another ten minutes or
so went by inan intolerable stillness.
And now, nobleDacha, it is setting in wet and we
are hungry. Now if some pretty lady were to come and tellthe Baas that he was oh!
Yes, Baas, though I dont believe that either will serve us much. Here, seeing that
we were quite alone, forall had gone to the sacrifice, I spoke to her. Then why did
he not come for them himself?
Wed her to the god and let us drink of the cupthat
through her unites us to the god!
