the settlement for burial, and how Eustace Milne, punctilious to a hair
in his dealings with his barbarous neighbours, had paid over the
stipulated ransom, even to the very last hoof, to the relatives of
Hlangani, even though the contingency of that warrior's demise was in no
wise provided for in the original agreement--these things, too, are they
not graven in the memories of all concerned?

But if, to some, the war has brought ruin and death and bereavement, it
has entailed vastly different results upon two other persons at any
rate; and those, needless to say, the two with whom our story has been
mainly concerned. For their good fortune has been great--greater, we
fear, than they had any right to expect. They are flourishing
exceedingly, and now, after years of union, it still seems to them that
they have only just begun to enter upon that glowing vista of lifelong
happiness, down which they had gazed so wistfully in the old, troubled,
and well-nigh hopeless time. But after sorrow and heaviness cometh
joy--sometimes. And it has come to these two, by a weird irony of Fate,
has come through the agency of a wild and sanguinary drama--through the
consistent ferocity of a vindictive barbarian and the logical outcome
thereof--even Hlangani's Revenge.
