Come
,
come
,
my
dear
fellow
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
,
"
you
ca
n't
refuse
to
oblige
a
lady
.
"
"
I
wo
n't
,
"
replied
Good
obstinately
;
"
it
is
positively
indecent
.
"
However
,
in
the
end
he
consented
to
draw
up
his
trousers
to
the
knee
,
amidst
notes
of
rapturous
admiration
from
all
the
women
present
,
especially
the
gratified
young
lady
,
and
in
this
guise
he
had
to
walk
till
we
got
clear
of
the
town
.
Good
's
legs
,
I
fear
,
will
never
be
so
greatly
admired
again
.
Of
his
melting
teeth
,
and
even
of
his
"
transparent
eye
,
"
the
Kukuanas
wearied
more
or
less
,
but
of
his
legs
never
.
As
we
travelled
,
Infadoos
told
us
that
there
was
another
pass
over
the
mountains
to
the
north
of
the
one
followed
by
Solomon
's
Great
Road
,
or
rather
that
there
was
a
place
where
it
was
possible
to
climb
down
the
wall
of
cliff
which
separates
Kukuanaland
from
the
desert
,
and
is
broken
by
the
towering
shapes
of
Sheba
's
Breasts
.
It
appeared
,
also
,
that
rather
more
than
two
years
previously
a
party
of
Kukuana
hunters
had
descended
this
path
into
the
desert
in
search
of
ostriches
,
whose
plumes
are
much
prized
among
them
for
war
head-dresses
,
and
that
in
the
course
of
their
hunt
they
had
been
led
far
from
the
mountains
and
were
much
troubled
by
thirst
.
Seeing
trees
on
the
horizon
,
however
,
they
walked
towards
them
,
and
discovered
a
large
and
fertile
oasis
some
miles
in
extent
,
and
plentifully
watered
.
It
was
by
way
of
this
oasis
that
Infadoos
suggested
we
should
return
,
and
the
idea
seemed
to
us
a
good
one
,
for
it
appeared
that
we
should
thus
escape
the
rigours
of
the
mountain
pass
.
Also
some
of
the
hunters
were
in
attendance
to
guide
us
to
the
oasis
,
from
which
,
they
stated
,
they
could
perceive
other
fertile
spots
far
away
in
the
desert
.
Travelling
easily
,
on
the
night
of
the
fourth
day
's
journey
we
found
ourselves
once
more
on
the
crest
of
the
mountains
that
separate
Kukuanaland
from
the
desert
,
which
rolled
away
in
sandy
billows
at
our
feet
,
and
about
twenty-five
miles
to
the
north
of
Sheba
's
Breasts
.
At
dawn
on
the
following
day
,
we
were
led
to
the
edge
of
a
very
precipitous
chasm
,
by
which
we
were
to
descend
the
precipice
,
and
gain
the
plain
two
thousand
and
more
feet
below
.
Here
we
bade
farewell
to
that
true
friend
and
sturdy
old
warrior
,
Infadoos
,
who
solemnly
wished
all
good
upon
us
,
and
nearly
wept
with
grief
.
"
Never
,
my
lords
,
"
he
said
,
"
shall
mine
old
eyes
see
the
like
of
you
again
.
Ah
!
the
way
that
Incubu
cut
his
men
down
in
the
battle
!
Ah
!
for
the
sight
of
that
stroke
with
which
he
swept
off
my
brother
Twala
's
head
!
It
was
beautiful
--
beautiful
!
I
may
never
hope
to
see
such
another
,
except
perchance
in
happy
dreams
.
