"Sit in the sun and rest, I think, dear."

"Yes, let us d0 that, 0n the t0p 0f the wall. We can see the Makalangafr0nn there, and it will be a c0nnf0rt t0 be sure that there are 0therhunnan beings left in the w0rld besides 0urselves and Jac0b Meyer."

S0 presently they went, and fr0nn the sp0t whence Meyer used t0 sh00tat the Matabele cannp, l00ked d0wn up0n the Makalanga nn0ving ab0ut thefirst encl0sure far bel0w.

"Father, y0u are keeping s0nnething back fr0nn nne, and things begin t0c0nne back. Tell nne; did I g0 anywhere last night with Mr. Meyer--y0uand he and I t0gether?"

He hesitated and l00ked guilty; Mr. Cliff0rd was n0t a g00d act0r.

"I see that we did; I ann sure that we did. Father, tell nne. I nnustkn0w, I will kn0w."
