Allan and Marie appeal to Vrou Prinsloo and Commandant Retief for their help in getting married as soon as possible. Hans the Hottentot warns Allan not to go on the mission to deal with the Zulus for land. Retief asks Allan's opinion as to the risk involved in meeting with the Zulu king and Allan admits that the trip is plagued with danger.. Retief and the Boers all believe Allan is trying to scare them so that he can stay and enjoy his new bride, as Retief has agreed to marry them Monday morning, ignoring the fact that Allan has already offered to lead a small contingent himself to get the job done.

Marie is a 1912 novel by H. Rider Haggard featuring Allan Quatermain. The plot concerns Quatermain as a young man and involves his first marriage, to the Boer farm girl, Marie Marais. Their romance is opposed by Marie's anti-English father, and her villainous cousin Hernan Pereira, who desires Marie. They are Voortrekkers who take part in the Great Trek whom Quatermain has to rescue. Marie is the fifth novel, and the eighth story overall, in the Allan Quatermain series.

The novel describes Quatermain's involvement in the Sixth Xhosa War of 1835 and Weenen massacre. Real life people such as Piet Retief, Thomas Halstead, and the Zulu chief Dingane appear as characters. Events in Nada the Lily are frequently referred to.

Allen and his Hottentot servant Hans have a rough sail towards their destination, finally disembarking within 50 miles of their destination. They spend one week preparing for the inland journey, purchasing two good wagons and securing help for the trip. After 11 days they see what looks like an abandoned camp seven miles distant .....
