In truth the metal box was a possession beyondprice.
All unconsciously his frequent and rapt contemplation of this object wasstanding him in valuable stead. The Ba-gcatya, furtively beholding himthus engaged, --for he was never beyond their watchful gaze, --werestrengthened in their belief that he was a magician of the Spider, andfeared him the more. He was thus, unconsciously, keeping up hischaracter as such.
Yet, vivid as recollection was, as conjured up by the metal box, inother respects the... old life seemed far away as a dream; misty, shadowy, vanishing. All its old conventionalities, its abstract notions of rightand wrong, what were they? Dust. Even now, whither was he wending? Wouldhe ever again behold a white face? It might be never.
"Have no white people ever visited your country, Silawayo?" he said oneday while he and the two war-chiefs were talking together during themarch.
"One only, " was the reply, given with a shade of hesitation.
"And what became of him?" "_Au!_ He went to---- Well, he went----" answered the chief, with acurious look.
