We
stood
and
watched
the
lovely
sight
,
whilst
the
stars
grew
pale
before
this
chastened
majesty
,
and
felt
our
hearts
lifted
up
in
the
presence
of
a
beauty
that
I
can
not
describe
.
Mine
has
been
a
rough
life
,
but
there
are
a
few
things
I
am
thankful
to
have
lived
for
,
and
one
of
them
is
to
have
seen
that
moon
shine
over
Kukuanaland
.
Presently
our
meditations
were
broken
in
upon
by
our
polite
friend
Infadoos
.
"
If
my
lords
are
rested
we
will
journey
on
to
Loo
,
where
a
hut
is
made
ready
for
my
lords
to-night
.
The
moon
is
now
bright
,
so
that
we
shall
not
fall
by
the
way
.
"
We
assented
,
and
in
an
hour
's
time
were
at
the
outskirts
of
the
town
,
of
which
the
extent
,
mapped
out
as
it
was
by
thousands
of
camp
fires
,
appeared
absolutely
endless
.
Indeed
,
Good
,
who
is
always
fond
of
a
bad
joke
,
christened
it
"
Unlimited
Loo
.
"
Soon
we
came
to
a
moat
with
a
drawbridge
,
where
we
were
met
by
the
rattling
of
arms
and
the
hoarse
challenge
of
a
sentry
.
Infadoos
gave
some
password
that
I
could
not
catch
,
which
was
met
with
a
salute
,
and
we
passed
on
through
the
central
street
of
the
great
grass
city
.
After
nearly
half
an
hour
's
tramp
,
past
endless
lines
of
huts
,
Infadoos
halted
at
last
by
the
gate
of
a
little
group
of
huts
which
surrounded
a
small
courtyard
of
powdered
limestone
,
and
informed
us
that
these
were
to
be
our
"
poor
"
quarters
.
We
entered
,
and
found
that
a
hut
had
been
assigned
to
each
of
us
.
These
huts
were
superior
to
any
that
we
had
yet
seen
,
and
in
each
was
a
most
comfortable
bed
made
of
tanned
skins
,
spread
upon
mattresses
of
aromatic
grass
.
Food
too
was
ready
for
us
,
and
so
soon
as
we
had
washed
ourselves
with
water
,
which
stood
ready
in
earthenware
jars
,
some
young
women
of
handsome
appearance
brought
us
roasted
meats
,
and
mealie
cobs
daintily
served
on
wooden
platters
,
and
presented
them
to
us
with
deep
obeisances
.
We
ate
and
drank
,
and
then
,
the
beds
having
been
all
moved
into
one
hut
by
our
request
,
a
precaution
at
which
the
amiable
young
ladies
smiled
,
we
flung
ourselves
down
to
sleep
,
thoroughly
wearied
with
our
long
journey
.
When
we
woke
it
was
to
find
the
sun
high
in
the
heavens
,
and
the
female
attendants
,
who
did
not
seem
to
be
troubled
by
any
false
shame
,
already
standing
inside
the
hut
,
having
been
ordered
to
attend
and
help
us
to
"
make
ready
.
"
"
Make
ready
,
indeed
,
"
growled
Good
;
"
when
one
has
only
a
flannel
shirt
and
a
pair
of
boots
,
that
does
not
take
long
.
I
wish
you
would
ask
them
for
my
trousers
,
Quatermain
.
"
I
asked
accordingly
,
but
was
informed
that
these
sacred
relics
had
already
been
taken
to
the
king
,
who
would
see
us
in
the
forenoon
.
