Did
you
happen
to
meet
a
man
called
Neville
there
?
"
"
Oh
,
yes
;
he
outspanned
alongside
of
me
for
a
fortnight
to
rest
his
oxen
before
going
on
to
the
interior
.
I
had
a
letter
from
a
lawyer
a
few
months
back
,
asking
me
if
I
knew
what
had
become
of
him
,
which
I
answered
to
the
best
of
my
ability
at
the
time
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
,
"
your
letter
was
forwarded
to
me
.
You
said
in
it
that
the
gentleman
called
Neville
left
Bamangwato
at
the
beginning
of
May
in
a
wagon
with
a
driver
,
a
voorlooper
,
and
a
Kafir
hunter
called
Jim
,
announcing
his
intention
of
trekking
if
possible
as
far
as
Inyati
,
the
extreme
trading
post
in
the
Matabele
country
,
where
he
would
sell
his
wagon
and
proceed
on
foot
.
You
also
said
that
he
did
sell
his
wagon
,
for
six
months
afterwards
you
saw
the
wagon
in
the
possession
of
a
Portuguese
trader
,
who
told
you
that
he
had
bought
it
at
Inyati
from
a
white
man
whose
name
he
had
forgotten
,
and
that
he
believed
the
white
man
with
the
native
servant
had
started
off
for
the
interior
on
a
shooting
trip
.
"
"
Yes
.
"
Then
came
a
pause
.
"
Mr.
Quatermain
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
suddenly
,
"
I
suppose
you
know
or
can
guess
nothing
more
of
the
reasons
of
my
--
of
Mr.
Neville
's
journey
to
the
northward
,
or
as
to
what
point
that
journey
was
directed
?
"
"
I
heard
something
,
"
I
answered
,
and
stopped
.
The
subject
was
one
which
I
did
not
care
to
discuss
.
Sir
Henry
and
Captain
Good
looked
at
each
other
,
and
Captain
Good
nodded
.
"
Mr.
Quatermain
,
"
went
on
the
former
,
"
I
am
going
to
tell
you
a
story
,
and
ask
your
advice
,
and
perhaps
your
assistance
.
The
agent
who
forwarded
me
your
letter
told
me
that
I
might
rely
on
it
implicitly
,
as
you
were
,
"
he
said
,
"
well
known
and
universally
respected
in
Natal
,
and
especially
noted
for
your
discretion
.
"
I
bowed
and
drank
some
whisky
and
water
to
hide
my
confusion
,
for
I
am
a
modest
man
--
and
Sir
Henry
went
on
.
