The Boer rose, too, very tall and aloof. His hand touched the money which still lay on the table.
"You will take this with you?" he questioned. "No?" as the Kafir shook his head. "You are sure? You will not have it? Nor anything else?"
"I have had all I want," replied Kamis, taking up his battered hat. "You 've done everything, and more than I thought you would."
The Boer was insistent.
"I want you to be—satisfied," he said, still standing in the same place. Kamis found his lofty, still face rather impressive. It had a certain high austerity.
"You must say if you want anything more," he went on, with a grave persistence. "All you want you shall have—till you are satisfied."
("Can't rest under an obligation to me," thought Kamis).
"I 'm quite satisfied," he replied. "You don't owe me anything, if that's what 's worrying you. I 'm paid in full."
"In full," repeated the Boer. "You are paid in full?"
"Yes."
