As
to
Dick
Sand
,
as
Harris
and
Negoro
were
no
longer
there
to
torture
him
,
she
hoped
that
his
being
a
white
man
would
perhaps
spare
him
some
bad
treatment
.
As
to
Nan
,
Tom
,
Bat
,
Austin
,
and
Acteon
,
they
were
blacks
,
and
it
was
too
certain
that
they
would
be
treated
as
such
.
Poor
people
!
who
should
never
have
trodden
that
land
of
Africa
,
and
whom
treachery
had
just
cast
there
.
When
Ibn
Hamis
's
caravan
had
arrived
at
Kazounde
,
Mrs.
Weldon
,
having
no
communication
with
the
outer
world
,
could
not
know
of
the
fact
:
neither
did
the
noises
from
the
lakoni
tell
her
anything
.
She
did
not
know
that
Tom
and
his
friends
had
been
sold
to
a
trader
from
Oujiji
,
and
that
they
would
soon
set
out
.
She
neither
knew
of
Harris
's
punishment
,
nor
of
King
Moini
Loungga
's
death
,
nor
of
the
royal
funeral
ceremonies
,
that
had
added
Dick
Sand
to
so
many
other
victims
.
So
the
unfortunate
woman
found
herself
alone
at
Kazounde
,
at
the
trader
's
mercy
,
in
Negoro
's
power
,
and
she
could
not
even
think
of
dying
in
order
to
escape
him
,
because
her
child
was
with
her
.
Mrs.
Weldon
was
absolutely
ignorant
of
the
fate
that
awaited
her
.
Harris
and
Negoro
had
not
addressed
a
word
to
her
during
the
whole
journey
from
the
Coanza
to
Kazounde
.
Since
her
arrival
,
she
had
not
seen
either
of
them
again
,
and
she
could
not
leave
the
enclosure
around
the
rich
trader
's
private
establishment
.
Is
it
necessary
to
say
now
that
Mrs.
Weldon
had
found
no
help
in
her
large
child
,
Cousin
Benedict
?
That
is
understood
.
When
the
worthy
savant
learned
that
he
was
not
on
the
American
continent
,
as
he
believed
,
he
was
not
at
all
anxious
to
know
how
that
could
have
happened
.
No
!
His
first
movement
was
a
gesture
of
anger
.
The
insects
that
he
imagined
he
had
been
the
first
to
discover
in
America
,
those
tsetses
and
others
,
were
only
mere
African
hexapodes
,
found
by
many
naturalists
before
him
,
in
their
native
places
.
Farewell
,
then
,
to
the
glory
of
attaching
his
name
to
those
discoveries
!
In
fact
,
as
he
was
in
Africa
,
what
could
there
be
astonishing
in
the
circumstance
that
Cousin
Benedict
had
collected
African
insects
.
But
the
first
anger
over
,
Cousin
Benedict
said
to
himself
that
the
"
Land
of
the
Pharaohs
"
--
so
he
still
called
it
--
possessed
incomparable
entomological
riches
,
and
that
so
far
as
not
being
in
the
"
Land
of
the
Incas
"
was
concerned
,
he
would
not
lose
by
the
change
.
"
Ah
!
"
he
repeated
,
to
himself
,
and
even
repeated
to
Mrs.
Weldon
,
who
hardly
listened
to
him
,
"
this
is
the
country
of
the
manticores
,
those
coleopteres
with
long
hairy
feet
,
with
welded
and
sharp
wing-shells
,
with
enormous
mandibles
,
of
which
the
most
remarkable
is
the
tuberculous
manticore
.
It
is
the
country
of
the
calosomes
with
golden
ends
;
of
the
Goliaths
of
Guinea
and
of
the
Gabon
,
whose
feet
are
furnished
with
thorns
;
of
the
sacred
Egyptian
ateuchus
,
that
the
Egyptians
of
Upper
Egypt
venerated
as
gods
.
It
is
here
that
those
sphinxes
with
heads
of
death
,
now
spread
over
all
Europe
,
belong
,
and
also
those
'
Idias
Bigote
,
'
whose
sting
is
particularly
dreaded
by
the
Senegalians
of
the
coast
.
Yes
;
there
are
superb
things
to
be
found
here
,
and
I
shall
find
them
,
if
these
honest
people
will
only
let
me
.
