15160 | ''Is intervention advisable under the circumstances? |
15160 | ''Must the Kaffirs or natives have more rights?'' |
15160 | A woman can not flee from place to place like a man, and life in a''refugee''(?) |
15160 | And for the Kaffirs to be eventually allowed to vote? |
15160 | But what if the enemy, prepared for our arrival, were to pepper at us unexpectedly from a different direction, or to point their Maxims at us? |
15160 | For had we not made up our minds not to risk a repetition of the attack on Rooirandjes? |
15160 | Had we indeed fought so long and so fiercely only to become an English colony, and not to be allowed to carry arms unless we had a license? |

15106 | Does the Bible not say,''The Lord loveth the stranger?'' 15106 And can that gracious Lord, if we only let Him act, not also protect us against any wiles and dangers if such should occur in the future? 15106 Can true converts be made to order by constraint, motives of self- interest, or by baptizing them_ en bloc_? 15106 Could the religion of such teachers ever find favour with their victims? 15106 Did God not pull us through all along? 15106 How could doctrines of righteousness and love be understood when so glaringly violated by their preceptors? 15106 Is he likely to surrender it all to an invading beneficent operation? 15106 Is it not attributable in a large proportion to misguided as well as to venal journalism that the Boer cause has so heavily scored? 15106 Is it not well that we should take great care to act in accordance? 15106 Is it right or prudent to exclude such interests and such a majority from legislative representation? 15106 May we hate them for old questions which that peace was intended to bury for ever? 15106 Shall we deceive them? 15106 Was that dealing fairly by confiding strangers? 15106 What advantage would accrue to shareholders? 15106 What else does it reveal but a thinly veiled recruiting device for auxiliaries against England? 15106 What was done soon after we had attracted strangers to establish businesses with us? 15106 Who else but the devil is that enemy? 15106 Will he not rather continue a most determined and desperate resistance and oppose the most advanced of his subtle devices? 15106 was it not He who provided the peace of 1881 which restored our independence? 36601 A blind girl.--Where was she?" |
36601 | Ach, Adrian,--how can you joke so? |
36601 | Ach, Adrian,--how can you talk like that? 36601 Aletta,"he broke out wrathfully,"are you taking the part of this wolf-- this jackal in a man''s skin, against me?" |
36601 | Aletta,he said,"your eyes are red again; have you been boiling soap?" |
36601 | And where did she come from? |
36601 | Are these not beautiful pumpkins? |
36601 | Are these soldiers;--and what are they doing here? |
36601 | Aunt,--let me talk to you: Do you know that I am often very glad that I was born blind? |
36601 | But where is Kanu? 36601 But why did you go without telling us?" |
36601 | Child,--you are blind and thus can not understand.--Hark.--Is not that a sound of shouting, afar off? |
36601 | Come, my lass,--you look tired and hungry; is it some dinner you want? |
36601 | Despise you? 36601 Do n''t you like honey, Uncle?" |
36601 | Do they fit, my child? |
36601 | Do you know the particulars of his crime? 36601 Elsie,"said Helena, passing her arm over the bewildered girl''s shoulder,"is your father''s name Stephanus van der Walt?" |
36601 | Father,--why are you so late-- and where is your horse? |
36601 | Father-- you are not angry-- but what has happened? 36601 Glad you are blind?" |
36601 | Happy, Aletta? 36601 Has he been long in prison?" |
36601 | Has the maid spoilt a batch of bread? 36601 How can you talk like that? |
36601 | I? 36601 If he be not coming in anger, why does he hasten thus? |
36601 | Is it against the law to ask where the Governor lives? |
36601 | Kanu left me on the mountain and went to find out where the Governor lived.--My father-- How long ago is it-- Where have I been? |
36601 | Kanu, are you sure that this is the mountain that Cape Town is under? 36601 Kanu,"she cried,"can you get us water?" |
36601 | Kanu,--I suppose the Governor lives in the biggest house; do n''t you think so? |
36601 | Kanu,--Oh, Kanu-- we are nearly there; are we not? |
36601 | Kanu,--are you here? |
36601 | Kanu,--do you think we will reach there in time to see the Governor to- morrow night? |
36601 | Kanu,--have you seen the island where the prison is? |
36601 | Kanu,--how much farther do you think Cape Town is? |
36601 | Kanu,--what shall we do? |
36601 | Kanu,--will you do something for me? |
36601 | Known it? |
36601 | May not one hasten in love as well as in hate? 36601 No,--why should it be against the law?" |
36601 | Not angry? 36601 Oh, Stephanus,"she said,"you are not deceiving me?--Tell me,--have you forgiven the wrong?" |
36601 | Oh,--how long have I been sleeping.--Where is Kanu? 36601 Please, Mynheer, is the Governor in?" |
36601 | Poor old man,--why do n''t they let him out if he has suffered so much and has become so good? |
36601 | Then one can not be whipped for asking? |
36601 | Truly? |
36601 | Was Kanu the Bushman who led you about? |
36601 | Well, Sam,--what do you make of it? |
36601 | Well,said Gideon in a voice of forced roughness,"what do you want?" |
36601 | Well,--I''ve been round the world and I''ve never seen hair like that-- Say, my lass, where do you hail from? |
36601 | What is it, then, Jacomyntje,--has your Pa been scolding you? |
36601 | What is it,''Meintje; tell me? |
36601 | What is the matter, then? 36601 What is your father''s name and where does he live?" |
36601 | What kind of things? |
36601 | What kind of things? |
36601 | What of that? 36601 When will that day come, White Owl?" |
36601 | Where is Uncle Gideon? |
36601 | Whipped? 36601 Who are you that you do n''t know soldiers when you see them?" |
36601 | Why do you fear the open window, Aunt? |
36601 | Without cause.--Nine long years-- no cause--? |
36601 | Would you like to know, truly, why I went, Uncle Gideon? |
36601 | Yes,--yes,--but what if it be not his wagon? |
36601 | Yes;--and why does he specially interest you? |
36601 | _ Do_ you no longer hate Uncle Gideon? |
36601 | At length a miserable- looking coloured woman hobbled by and he plucked up courage to address her:"What are those two men walking up and down for?" |
36601 | But Rondebosch was on the other side of the mountain; would he be able to go there and back without food? |
36601 | But how? |
36601 | But where_ was_ Kanu? |
36601 | But who are you and where do you come from?" |
36601 | Come, Jacomyntye, what does the dress matter?" |
36601 | Could it be possible, after all, that he had seen the Governor and then gone with the soldier and the great key to effect her father''s release? |
36601 | Did you ever laugh in your life?" |
36601 | Did you not hear a sound?" |
36601 | Do you know why I am running away from him?" |
36601 | Do you think Pa will wait for a few days more?" |
36601 | For how far has the Devil been chasing you?" |
36601 | He bargained with his Maker: His brother''s life,--the life which he had saved,--was it not, in a sense, his to dispose of? |
36601 | Is he still in prison?" |
36601 | Is the bone broken?" |
36601 | Let''s see,-- to which of the loving brothers do you belong?" |
36601 | Others had died in Bushmanland-- even when it had not been as arid as it now was; why not Stephanus? |
36601 | Poor, ignorant child, shut up in a cavern of formless darkness,--what could she do? |
36601 | Suddenly it seemed all unreal;--could it be a dream? |
36601 | Then she spoke:"Listen-- I am dying;--will you take my children and care for them?" |
36601 | What business had he to interfere with the gun at all? |
36601 | What is the matter.--What frightened you?" |
36601 | What was she to do? |
36601 | Where am I?" |
36601 | Whither did Gideon go? |
36601 | Who could it be? |
36601 | Why did he not come back to me?" |
36601 | Why did you go just then, and why did you never let us know where you were?" |
38447 | Are you sure that Labotsibeni has few warriors and that these will not remain faithful? |
38447 | But what is the charge? 38447 But why wo n''t she see me? |
38447 | Ca n''t you get ten or fifteen women, Nkoos? |
38447 | Did that snake come on two feet? |
38447 | Do n''t you want to practice a little practical Christianity? 38447 Do you not know that these are white witch- doctors of great magic and are too great to even look on such lowly people as you?" |
38447 | Does the king expect me? 38447 Finally I asked,''Ou funaan?'' |
38447 | Guilty or not guilty? |
38447 | How did the snake come to his kraal? |
38447 | How long ago was that? |
38447 | How many followers has Sebuza, Nkosikaas? |
38447 | How many young women, all maidens, are you prepared to give? |
38447 | How was Labotsibeni killed? |
38447 | Is the way prepared for us? |
38447 | Lochien, faithful induna and counsellor,Tzaneen replied,"Is my son, the king, wounded or hurt in any way? |
38447 | Mzaan Bakoor, you of great magic, can you count the blades of grass in the field? |
38447 | Nkoos, is it true that Buno is dead? |
38447 | Nkoos, you have a present for me? |
38447 | Nkoos, you have sent for me? |
38447 | Now will you be so kind as to tell me what you are doing at Zombode? |
38447 | Now, how can I tell him about this? |
38447 | Since when? 38447 So she is worried, eh?" |
38447 | So you are all right, Mzaan Bakoor? |
38447 | The war is over, yes? |
38447 | Then, Nkoos, why did you pay Lomwazi and Queen Labotsibeni all the money, cows, and gin for the right to use the black boxes? |
38447 | They say it was a bad business? |
38447 | We are, are we? |
38447 | Well, Doctor O''Neil? |
38447 | What did you see? 38447 What did you tell him?" |
38447 | What if your child be a woman? |
38447 | What next? 38447 What the devil is the matter with you?" |
38447 | What will happen to Lomwazi when he has turned over the kingdom to Sebuza? |
38447 | What''s all this trouble? |
38447 | What''s the matter? |
38447 | What''s the use, lad? |
38447 | When is it planned to hold the formal ceremonies of making Sebuza king of Swaziland? |
38447 | Who am I that I am kept out of my kingdom? |
38447 | Who are they that I should go to them? |
38447 | Who is to rule Swaziland until your child is born? |
38447 | Why are these warlike manoeuvers? 38447 Why do you disturb L''Tunga and his white friends?" |
38447 | Why do you make all this row so early in the morning? |
38447 | Why do you make so much fight? 38447 Why is America so foolish?" |
38447 | Why should an O''Neil of Rietvlei wait on these common gamblers from Johannesburg? 38447 Would n''t it be better to fight?" |
38447 | Yes? 38447 You have heard the charge?" |
38447 | You hear that, Mzaan Bakoor? |
38447 | You see those black boxes? |
38447 | You see those? |
38447 | After we had had several drinks, Sugden turned to me and asked:"Well, what are we here for? |
38447 | And did he carry himself in battle as should the son of Buno?" |
38447 | Are his men waiting for me?" |
38447 | Are none of you going to give us a hand in this fight?" |
38447 | By the way, I wonder what His Majesty''s Royal High Commissioner for Swaziland thinks of things now?" |
38447 | Come on, unless you want to see him go?" |
38447 | Do n''t you know that sudden death is always walking abroad at night in Swaziland? |
38447 | Do n''t you think it is my turn to wear them? |
38447 | Do n''t you think you''d better wait a day or two before tackling me?" |
38447 | Do you give up the throne?" |
38447 | Do you want to die?" |
38447 | Does my son, the son of Slim Gert O''Neil, want to be a nigger?" |
38447 | Gradually we led the conversation to the coming coronation and finally asked him the leading question: How soon will it be? |
38447 | Have I not told you?" |
38447 | He thought for a moment, and then answered,"Mzaan Bakoor, can you count the blades of grass in a field?" |
38447 | His only reply was,"Induna? |
38447 | How could I? |
38447 | I wonder what he is doing? |
38447 | If I had n''t seen it, how could I know anything about it? |
38447 | If I''d seen it, it was my duty to report it, was n''t it? |
38447 | Is Lomwazi going to be executed as part of the festivities?" |
38447 | Is it not so?" |
38447 | Is this not so?" |
38447 | Is this so?" |
38447 | Now what do you think of your Uncle Tuys?" |
38447 | Of course I could n''t tell Oom Paul that Buno and I had an important business deal on at that time, could I? |
38447 | Our talk ended when Mr. Honey rose to his feet with the remark,"Of course you are dining with me tonight?" |
38447 | Shall I give the word that means death, or will you listen and obey the order I now give?" |
38447 | Shall I tell him to go to hell?" |
38447 | Shall we fight?" |
38447 | Shall we go through with the plan, or fight? |
38447 | Tell me, what did you see?" |
38447 | The witch- doctors might tell them that you were putting some sort of a curse on them, and then where would you be?" |
38447 | Then he asked,"Are you sure there were ten indunas sacrificed?" |
38447 | Then how soon will Sebuza be crowned?" |
38447 | There was the usual salutation, and she asked,"My son, the king, is dead?" |
38447 | They say that Buno is sick, but that ought not to make any difference, ought it?" |
38447 | What are these plans?" |
38447 | What do we want?" |
38447 | What happened? |
38447 | What have they done? |
38447 | What more could be desired? |
38447 | What next?" |
38447 | What shall we do now? |
38447 | When did you change your name?" |
38447 | Who am I that I should take notice of such dirt?" |
38447 | Who the devil are those busybodies who do n''t mind their own business?" |
38447 | Who will join my life- saving crew?" |
38447 | Why did she go into the war?" |
38447 | Why do you tell such lies? |
38447 | Why have these warriors stopped my men?" |
38447 | Why have you come to see me?" |
38447 | Will you be their guardian when I am gone?" |
38447 | Will you bet with them? |
38447 | Will you do this?" |
38447 | Will you go and see what''s the matter?" |
38447 | Wo n''t we, Sibijaan?" |
38447 | Wo n''t you rest a while and have some tswala and refresh yourselves? |
38447 | You would not have done this if the queen''s permission was not of great value to you, would you?" |
38447 | You''ve seen the pipe, have n''t you? |
38447 | which means''What do you want?'' |
37083 | And you? 37083 Are you wounded?" |
37083 | Bloemfontein? |
37083 | Ca n''t Auntie have my clothes washed? |
37083 | Can you not see,he continued,"that the hand of God is stretched out against us?" |
37083 | Fight to the bitter end? |
37083 | Has Tante( Aunt) any dried fruit for sale? |
37083 | How far is it still? |
37083 | How old are you? |
37083 | Must we understand,asked General L. Botha, when Lord Milner had read this document,--"must we understand that our proposal is rejected entirely?" |
37083 | Watchman,so I seemed to cry,"what of the night? |
37083 | What is your name? |
37083 | What o''clock is it? |
37083 | What should we eat, and what should we drink? |
37083 | What,he asked one of the latter,"do you think of a rescue?" |
37083 | Where is east? |
37083 | Where must we look for Harrismith? |
37083 | Will this lead to peace? |
37083 | (?) |
37083 | After half an hour we ask again,"And how far is it now?" |
37083 | And had these ideals now been rudely dragged through the mud by the bitter result? |
37083 | And how was this received by our burghers? |
37083 | And if at the commencement we had put our trust in God, why should we now not continue to do so? |
37083 | And then it was asked, whether the war had not been begun in faith, and whether it could not be carried through in the same faith? |
37083 | And was it not therefore the duty of everyone to join those who were going to the Government for that purpose? |
37083 | And what did the English say about the laager that they had taken? |
37083 | And what had we to record as to our loss on the following day after this terrible bombardment? |
37083 | And what shall I say of those-- our own flesh and blood-- who went over to the enemy? |
37083 | And what was his reply?--What? |
37083 | And what was the effect of this spectacle on the burghers? |
37083 | And yet how could I blame others for being troublesome when I had on one occasion got a loaf of bread from that house myself? |
37083 | But how should we surrender? |
37083 | But what sort of Peace? |
37083 | But why was all so still? |
37083 | Can I ever forget those evenings? |
37083 | Constantly the question arose in his mind, what would become of the People? |
37083 | Could he not be released? |
37083 | Could inhumanity go further? |
37083 | Could they do more? |
37083 | Delay? |
37083 | Did no dart of pain, no pang of sorrow, pass through his heart at the thought that he had taken a great share in the extinction of a free people? |
37083 | Did not thine own great hero, Wellington, declare that a nation has the right to adopt every means to resist a foe that is invading its country? |
37083 | Did the English know anything about us? |
37083 | Did this give him satisfaction? |
37083 | Do n''t we keep the war going in this way? |
37083 | EPILOGUE Do I feel any remorse, now that all is over, because I struggled on to the end? |
37083 | Fear? |
37083 | For was it not against the world that the little nation fought? |
37083 | Had that People appealed to God, and had He declared Himself against them? |
37083 | Had the faith of the People been in vain? |
37083 | Has this often happened in the history of the world? |
37083 | He put out his head through the waggon- flap and asked his sons--"Children, what is this?" |
37083 | He would ask_ where_ that bitter end was? |
37083 | How did I behave after having had to manage with my clasp- knife on the grass for so long? |
37083 | How long, we asked ourselves, would our burghers be able to hold out? |
37083 | I asked myself, as I rode by his side, what could be the secret of his power? |
37083 | I do not know how to describe it, so feeble it was,--this:"And why do you ruin England so?" |
37083 | If anybody had said then that the war would last another seventeen months, who would have believed him? |
37083 | If she asked what she was to give her two, three, or six children to eat, the rough retort was,"Ask de Wet that?" |
37083 | If the English did not wish to exterminate us, what then did they mean by driving weak women and children out of doors and destroying the houses? |
37083 | If they had been united in the struggle until now, then surely it would be wrong to be divided at the last? |
37083 | Is it not the Crown of the Orange Free State? |
37083 | It was further pointed out that horses were becoming more and more scarce, and what would the burghers signify without horses? |
37083 | It was now asked,"Where is Field- Cornet Jan Lyon?" |
37083 | Many have not been able to understand the will of God, and have been overthrown by the insulting question,"Where is now your God?" |
37083 | Merely for the sake of fighting; merely to shoot and be shot? |
37083 | One Delegate said that the war had been commenced with prayer and with the Mauser, and, he asked, what had been God''s answer to this prayer? |
37083 | PART III_ RESIGNATION_ CHAPTER I"WILL THIS LEAD TO PEACE?" |
37083 | Racial hatred? |
37083 | Renegades!--What can I say? |
37083 | Return to the Delegates and inform them that England would not grant what they desired? |
37083 | Should we get the looted cattle back? |
37083 | So the English kept on saying; yet, oh mine enemy, what right had''st thou to prescribe to us how we should fight? |
37083 | Strange, is it not? |
37083 | Surely not another proclamation? |
37083 | The burghers were terribly bored in the laager? |
37083 | The day came, and who had surrendered? |
37083 | The question now before the meeting was, whether the Representatives would accept this proposal of England, or-- reject it and continue the war? |
37083 | The question now was, what the meeting was going to do in regard to those proposals? |
37083 | The question was, Whither? |
37083 | They approached the fort in the greatest silence, but the picquet became aware of their approach and cried,"Werda?" |
37083 | This I asked myself, when we had got beyond these mountains, should we then bravely march against the enemy on the plains? |
37083 | Unconditionally? |
37083 | Was he not Chief- Commandant, or at least did he not act as such? |
37083 | Was it not God''s guidance to keep the People united to the last moment? |
37083 | Was it not because there was always something to keep us busy? |
37083 | Was it not for the sole and only purpose of getting breathing- time?--to get reorganised? |
37083 | Was it red earth, or was it the blood of friend and foe that coloured the water? |
37083 | Was it the daylight that vanquished the apprehensions and uncertainties of night? |
37083 | Was this the beginning of the end? |
37083 | Was this, I asked myself, the child whose cry I had heard in the night, when the shells of the Maxim- Nordenfeldt flew over us? |
37083 | We ask ourselves, whence the courage which inspired us to face so determinedly what was before us? |
37083 | Well, then, was there any chance left, humanly speaking, of retaining it?" |
37083 | What advantage would we gain thereby? |
37083 | What are a thousand years to Him who forms the crust of the earth through myriads of years? |
37083 | What better-- what more nutritious food could they have given me than mealies? |
37083 | What else but undisguised hostility could the Governments of the two Republics see in this action of England? |
37083 | What else was I living for? |
37083 | What is an age to Him for whom one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years are as one day? |
37083 | What is faith?... |
37083 | What is that deep rumbling in the distance? |
37083 | What is to be done now? |
37083 | What of that, if only it came at last? |
37083 | What of that? |
37083 | What was the commission now to do? |
37083 | What would become of the People if their leaders, in order to gratify their own military sentiment, surrendered unconditionally? |
37083 | What would that be? |
37083 | When he came to a farmhouse, the first questions of his officers and soldiers to the housewife were,"Where is your husband? |
37083 | When we were at Doornkloof the question persistently presented itself to me: Where in the world_ are_ we going to? |
37083 | Where are the Boers?" |
37083 | Where are you going to?" |
37083 | Where is Steyn? |
37083 | Where is de Wet? |
37083 | Where were the 4000 who had been ordered to take the hill? |
37083 | Whither were we going now, now that we could not rest in the neighbourhood of Reitz? |
37083 | Whither? |
37083 | Who can blame the Africander if he can not forget what was done to his mother, to his wife, to his sister? |
37083 | Who cared that they were the utterances of the heart, even though the heart of an enemy? |
37083 | Who is to blame for it if it exists? |
37083 | Who will condemn this action? |
37083 | Who, whilst reading them, asked of himself:"What would I desire the enemy to do, if a letter of mine should fall into their hands?" |
37083 | Why did they not leave an opening on the south for the English to retire by? |
37083 | Why did we have a Commander if, under certain circumstances, we had to decide for ourselves without recognising him? |
37083 | Why is he present at such a scene? |
37083 | Why should there still be division amongst them? |
37083 | Why should they be there? |
37083 | Why then, some Delegates asked, should this be the last chance of negotiating? |
37083 | Why, then, did the burghers feel bored in the laager? |
37083 | Why? |
37083 | Why? |
37083 | Will there be patrols of the enemy on the line? |
37083 | Would it be like that in the Cape Colony? |
37083 | Would it not be best to go through the Vaal River in order to consult Dr. von Rennenkamff, who had joined the commandos of General de la Rey? |
37083 | Would the Delegates be divided? |
37083 | Would they for all future time look back upon this, the greatest moment in the history of South Africa, with bitter reproaches against each other? |
37083 | Would they part from each other in anger? |
37083 | Would this letter be the last I should write her? |
37083 | Yet could I blame this confused multitude? |
37083 | _ But has the bitter end not come?_ Each one of you must decide that question for himself." |
37083 | _ Lord Milner._ May I ask if the prisoners- of- war will also be consulted? |
37083 | _ President Steyn._ I would like to know from Your Excellency what sort of self- government it would be? |
37083 | _ President Steyn._ Your Excellency surely can not be in earnest in putting this question? |
37083 | and then? |
37083 | did not trouble me; but"wherewithal should we be clothed?" |
37083 | have we a Japanese show here?" |
37083 | he asked, addressing the meeting,--"do you say that? |
37083 | just as in the cases I have mentioned, can give the date and the place? |
37083 | v. Niekerk._ But, Piet, you were a Commandant yourself; what did you think of our small numbers against our mighty foe then? |
37083 | what brought me, a man of peace in every sense of the word, on the field of battle? |
37083 | what is that? |
37083 | what of the night?" |
37083 | whence the strength which upheld our worn- out horses? |
37083 | who goes there?" |
37083 | who goes there?" |
37083 | why did those three foals whinny so incessantly? |
37083 | will shots be fired? |
37083 | will there be confusion? |
32565 | Adrian? 32565 Adrian? |
32565 | Aletta? |
32565 | An Englishman, I believe? |
32565 | And Colvin? 32565 And are we not to be again?" |
32565 | And if I sign this your sentence is not to be carried out, Mynheer Commandant? |
32565 | And of me? |
32565 | And when he found that he could not obtain that interview, what then? |
32565 | And where are you from? |
32565 | And yours? |
32565 | Andries Botma? 32565 Anything by the post that wants seeing to, sir?" |
32565 | Anything? 32565 Are they? |
32565 | Are we, Piet? 32565 Are we? |
32565 | Are you his brother? |
32565 | Are you indulging in a solitary meditation, Miss De la Rey? |
32565 | Are you not ashamed of yourself, Jan, to stand there before me and talk such wicked nonsense? 32565 At Johannesburg?" |
32565 | At the front? 32565 Baas?" |
32565 | Baas? |
32565 | Before the Commandant? |
32565 | Brothers? 32565 But I-- why should you love me-- you who have seen so much of the world? |
32565 | But how are you going to prove them? |
32565 | But how could I have left it, when I was kept in it by an armed guard placed there by your own orders? |
32565 | But how did Frank manage to get captured, Morkel? 32565 But how did he get to Krantz Kop, Mynheer?" |
32565 | But how-- how will you do it? |
32565 | But it''ll come rather awkward for you when all this is over, Morkel? |
32565 | But of course you will not have Colvin shot? |
32565 | But where are the other girls, Mrs De la Rey? |
32565 | But where did you pick up May? |
32565 | But why did you do it? 32565 But, Adrian,"she said,"why are you so bitter against the English now? |
32565 | But, Gideon, what if there is a noise made about it, and they are found afterwards? 32565 But-- what''s on now?" |
32565 | But-- you are not Kenneth, surely? |
32565 | But-- you said your name was Kershaw? |
32565 | By the way-- the prisoner? 32565 Ca n''t I sing a song if I want?" |
32565 | Can I love you, did you say? 32565 Can I love you?" |
32565 | Can I trust you? |
32565 | Can you believe your own eyes now, Aletta? 32565 Can you make them out, Cornelis?" |
32565 | Can you talk our language? |
32565 | Colvin going to marry Aletta? |
32565 | Condaas, what sort of expressions are you using? |
32565 | Did I not tell you,she would cry triumphantly,"that this Englishman was not like other Englishmen?" |
32565 | Did he not ask what could be done for the condemned man? |
32565 | Did you come straight here from your place to- day? |
32565 | Did you hear what Hans Vermaak was saying just now? |
32565 | Did you hear what I said, Gert? |
32565 | Do n''t you remember that first evening we met, Aletta? |
32565 | Do n''t you see, man? 32565 Do we? |
32565 | Do you confess to having assisted the prisoner to escape? |
32565 | Do you hate him, then? |
32565 | Do you know anything of such a guard? |
32565 | Do you know how I was taught to shoot, Colvin? |
32565 | Do you not see? 32565 Do you think they really intend to do it?" |
32565 | Does Baas want to get money out of Gideon Roux, then? |
32565 | Dry yourself? 32565 Eh? |
32565 | Er-- I say, Colvin, old chap-- how are you? 32565 Escaped, has he? |
32565 | First cousin? 32565 Forgive?" |
32565 | From the front, you mean? 32565 Gideon Roux? |
32565 | Gideon will be in directly, Juffrouw? |
32565 | Girls selfish? 32565 Gone? |
32565 | Grobbelaar? 32565 Had you no idea he was in this country?" |
32565 | Hanged? 32565 Has Mynheer started yet? |
32565 | Has n''t been up here at all of late, eh? |
32565 | Have n''t they? |
32565 | Have n''t those two come in yet? |
32565 | Have you been here before? |
32565 | Have you ever been into that hole, Gert? |
32565 | Have you told father about this? |
32565 | He is one of us now, is he not, Piet? |
32565 | He_ had_ been with Cronje''s force, then? |
32565 | His grandson, perhaps? 32565 How can I have assisted any prisoner to escape when I was a prisoner myself?" |
32565 | How can one presume upon a choice between two such dreams of loveliness? 32565 How can you be so rude? |
32565 | How do I know, brother? 32565 How do you do, Miss De la Rey?" |
32565 | How long did you say you had been engaged, Aletta? |
32565 | I might miss-- then where would we be? 32565 Ignorant? |
32565 | In Schalkburg? |
32565 | In a word, this is the price of my life? |
32565 | Is he here then? |
32565 | Is he mad? |
32565 | Is he? 32565 Is he? |
32565 | Is it Abram Kershaw, or Izaak Kershaw, or what is it? |
32565 | Is it going to be war? |
32565 | Is it? |
32565 | Is n''t that rather a long way round? |
32565 | Is she? 32565 Is that man we met to- day going out with the ambulance department?" |
32565 | Is that the Transvaal emissary? |
32565 | Is that true, brother De la Rey? |
32565 | Is that your twin brother? |
32565 | Jan,said Andries Botma, turning to his host,"where is Stephanus De la Rey? |
32565 | Let''s give him a gallop, eh? 32565 Look here, Frank,"said Colvin,"would you mind explaining precisely what on earth you are talking about?" |
32565 | May, where are you? 32565 Name?" |
32565 | Need not know? 32565 No? |
32565 | Not Colvin? |
32565 | Not engaged to her? |
32565 | Not, eh? 32565 Not, eh? |
32565 | Not-- not Colvin Kershaw? |
32565 | Not? |
32565 | Nothing? 32565 Now where is that?" |
32565 | Now, Mr Kershaw, ca n''t you and Frank get together for a moment without fighting about the Boers? |
32565 | Of course; are we not all jolly good friends together, Stephanus? 32565 Of death? |
32565 | Oh, I will plead with the Commandant, and you will, too, will you not, Mynheer? 32565 Oh, and-- what if I were to lose you?" |
32565 | Oh, bother it, May, why will you harp on that insane prejudice of nationality? |
32565 | Oh, not on business? |
32565 | Oh, ought I? |
32565 | Oh, they talk a good bit about war, but then what do we do? 32565 Only a what? |
32565 | Out of sorts, eh? 32565 Punch, sir? |
32565 | Really? 32565 Say, Piet?" |
32565 | Say? 32565 See you now, Aletta?" |
32565 | So you know where I have just come from, eh,_ ou''maat_? |
32565 | So, Aletta? |
32565 | So? 32565 So? |
32565 | So? 32565 So? |
32565 | So? 32565 So?" |
32565 | So? |
32565 | So? |
32565 | So? |
32565 | Some mistake? |
32565 | Still, man, do you hear? |
32565 | Style, indeed? 32565 Tell me quickly-- why did you write that strange message--`Remember--_I saw_''? |
32565 | That is the way the cat jumps? 32565 That so, Stephanus? |
32565 | The Commandant''s orders? |
32565 | Then how do you know there is a rock in there the Kafir could jump on to escape Gideon Roux''s dogs? |
32565 | Then why did you tell me? |
32565 | Then you refuse the chance we offer you? |
32565 | There would be every excuse, would n''t there? |
32565 | Think so? 32565 To say?" |
32565 | Was I? |
32565 | Was he? 32565 Was he? |
32565 | Was it during the war? |
32565 | Well now, was I mistaken? |
32565 | Well, Mynheer Grobbelaar, and what can I do for you? |
32565 | Well, Upton, what''s the news? |
32565 | Well, after all, what''s the odds now? 32565 Well, and what brings you up here?" |
32565 | Well, child, and what do you think of` our only Englishman''? |
32565 | Well, why do you bear down upon me singing an aggressive war- song-- at me? 32565 Well? |
32565 | Well? |
32565 | Were any such orders given,_ Heeren_, by any of yourselves? |
32565 | Wet? 32565 What am I saying? |
32565 | What am I to ride, sir? |
32565 | What are you going to do about it? |
32565 | What are you saying, Tanta? |
32565 | What can be done, Morkel? |
32565 | What do you think of our main line of defence? |
32565 | What do you want to scoot away for, and leave mother and me to entertain each other? 32565 What help can you give me, and why should you wish to?" |
32565 | What if they are stranded half- way? |
32565 | What is coming now? |
32565 | What is it, Tanta? |
32565 | What is the meaning of this? 32565 What is` good of''me? |
32565 | What nonsense are you telling me, Gertruida? 32565 What part are you trying to act now?" |
32565 | What show? |
32565 | What sort of ideas have you brought back with you from Cape Town, child? |
32565 | What will Aletta say when she knows? |
32565 | What would Mynheer have? |
32565 | What''s the row, anyhow? |
32565 | What''s this? 32565 When is it to be, Gertruida?" |
32565 | When is this Englishman going to marry Wenlock''s sister? |
32565 | When was this, Gert, and what did they do with the body? |
32565 | Where did you hear that, Jan? |
32565 | Where has she gone? |
32565 | Where has the girl gone? |
32565 | Where is Adrian De la Rey? |
32565 | Where is Adrian? |
32565 | Where was he caught? 32565 Where, Gert?" |
32565 | Where? |
32565 | Where? |
32565 | Which Patriot? 32565 Which is the favoured one-- Andrina or Condaas?" |
32565 | Which of them? |
32565 | Which way do you go home by? |
32565 | Which_ is_ it, Andrina? |
32565 | Who are you,_ kerel_, and have you a permit to remain here? |
32565 | Who are you? |
32565 | Who is going to shoot whom? |
32565 | Who is he? 32565 Who is that talking over there?" |
32565 | Who is the Englishman? |
32565 | Who on earth is making all that row? |
32565 | Who''s that likely to be, Frank? |
32565 | Who, Da Costa? 32565 Who? |
32565 | Who? 32565 Whom are you going to settle down_ with_, Kenneth?" |
32565 | Whose cart is that, Frank? 32565 Whose daughter is she?" |
32565 | Why did you do that? |
32565 | Why did you? 32565 Why do you call it a trainload of fools, Mr Kershaw?" |
32565 | Why do you take such a delight in teasing her when you see she''s out of sorts? |
32565 | Why do you think he wanted us not to go back by way of Klip Poort? |
32565 | Why is he not here to- night? |
32565 | Why need you go on to- night, Mr Kershaw? |
32565 | Why not? 32565 Why not?" |
32565 | Why should I not when you indignantly vow you would not come this little way to meet me? |
32565 | Why should we say hard things to each other, you and I? 32565 Why will you make those girls talk such a lot of nonsense, Mr Kershaw?" |
32565 | Why, Colvin, where are you from? 32565 Why, what is all this about?" |
32565 | Why, who is this? |
32565 | Why-- to- day? |
32565 | Why? |
32565 | Will you now show yourself a coward and shield yourself behind a woman? 32565 Wonder who it is?" |
32565 | Would it be any use if I were to try and talk over Schoeman? 32565 Would it have made any difference if you had known, Lady Kershaw?" |
32565 | Yes, but-- are they not-- er-- rather nearly related? |
32565 | Yes? |
32565 | Yes? |
32565 | You are in no hurry to go on, are you, Colvin? |
32565 | You are telling us the truth, are you? 32565 You have a cigar?" |
32565 | You have been in the Transvaal lately, I hear, Miss Wenlock? |
32565 | You have been there a good deal of late, have n''t you? |
32565 | You hear what he says, Aletta? 32565 You met the Patriot here not long since, did you not, Mr Kershaw?" |
32565 | You only want to save his life? 32565 You promised yourself to make a convert of me? |
32565 | You think so, eh? |
32565 | You to ride? 32565 You would not do murder, surely, Adrian?" |
32565 | You''d dare lay a finger on me but for this_ reim_, would n''t you? |
32565 | You''re not going on to- night? |
32565 | _ So_? 32565 _ So_? |
32565 | _ Wie''s jij_? |
32565 | ` Under which?'' 32565 A fresh start? 32565 A sort of cosmopolitan rover without ties; is n''t that what you were saying just now? 32565 Adrian had everything to gain by his destruction-- and was he likely to throw away the crowning triumph of his plot at the very moment of grasping it? 32565 Ah God-- how are we to part like this? |
32565 | Ah, but would they? |
32565 | Ah, would you, then?" |
32565 | Aletta? |
32565 | Aletta? |
32565 | Aletta?" |
32565 | Ambulance department?" |
32565 | An Englishman? |
32565 | And Morkel? |
32565 | And are you not taking a great deal too much upon yourself?" |
32565 | And are you, may I ask, likely to be out in this campaign?" |
32565 | And do n''t think hard things of me when I am away, will you? |
32565 | And doctors will sometimes disagree, though not often? |
32565 | And have you forgotten, Aletta, that little talk we had one day in the garden at Ratels Hoek? |
32565 | And having done so, why-- if he had found such profession premature-- did he not say so openly? |
32565 | And if I help you to get him out of your way, you will help me to get him out of mine?" |
32565 | And if so, who was going to take the word of two such shady characters as they? |
32565 | And of course you would have let me?" |
32565 | And that is the culmination of all your exuberant patriotism, is it? |
32565 | And what of Aletta? |
32565 | And what on earth mystery lay covered by those words, so significantly underlined--"_I saw_?" |
32565 | And when are you going to begin and pour out his coffee for him?" |
32565 | And where would we be? |
32565 | And why? |
32565 | And wo n''t he make the_ rooineks_ run?" |
32565 | And` Confound their politics, frustrate their knavish tricks''--how is that for doggerel, eh?" |
32565 | Are the ties of blood- brotherhood nothing? |
32565 | Are the ties of nationality nothing? |
32565 | Are they really going to shoot him after all? |
32565 | Are you prepared to undergo our judgment on you?" |
32565 | Are you sure there is anyone at the front in whom you have any interest at all?" |
32565 | As a matter of fact this one did so feel, and her voice was very soft as she answered:"Oh, Adrian, why did you ask me? |
32565 | As for any efforts of his own, of what avail? |
32565 | Besides, what if that row had come off-- we should come home nice objects with our noses broken and our teeth kicked down our throats? |
32565 | But Aletta, what did she say to your being engaged to an Englishman?" |
32565 | But I say, Colvin, would you like to go up and see the President this afternoon? |
32565 | But aloud he said:"Is that so? |
32565 | But does it not strike you, Adrian, that you may be doing your best to kill all the liking and regard I have always felt for you? |
32565 | But how did you manage to get here at all to do it without being spotted?" |
32565 | But how to open it? |
32565 | But if they had not shot him had they shot Gert? |
32565 | But if you think they tried to murder you?" |
32565 | But is May Wenlock staying in Johannesburg?" |
32565 | But just before they took up their positions, Cornelis being out of earshot, Stephanus remarked:"I wonder what is the matter with Adrian, Colvin? |
32565 | But now, I ask, does his` double''also know Miss Wenlock? |
32565 | But to her,"So he has been a neighbour of yours the last year or so, Aletta?" |
32565 | But was that warning genuine? |
32565 | But what does it matter? |
32565 | But what of his side of the bargain unfulfilled? |
32565 | But what was her other name, and who the devil was this good- looking young Dutchman who talked English so well? |
32565 | But where is Pansy?" |
32565 | But where was the prisoner? |
32565 | But why should he find out? |
32565 | But"-- and his words were slow and deliberate, and full of meaning--"if I do what is to be my reward?" |
32565 | But, by- the- by, Morkel, how is it you are up here among them? |
32565 | But, do you know, Mr Kershaw, we had heard just the same thing? |
32565 | But, does n''t it strike you, Miss De la Rey, that you are wasting your cartridges by blazing them into me? |
32565 | But, oh Colvin-- what if you find afterwards that I am not able to make you happy? |
32565 | But-- What is that?" |
32565 | But-- did she? |
32565 | But-- er-- really it is very remiss of me-- but-- Where did we meet?" |
32565 | But-- where was Gert? |
32565 | But-- who was the prisoner, and did he escape?" |
32565 | But-- who''s Frank?" |
32565 | But--""He asked that question more than once?" |
32565 | By the way, was there anything in it?" |
32565 | Can I help it? |
32565 | Can a poor Englishman by any chance do anything that comes within measurable distance of being right?" |
32565 | Can he be fetched?" |
32565 | Can such an effect be produced by the sight of that tourniquet of dust, far away over the plain, yet whirling nearer and nearer? |
32565 | Colvin Kershaw? |
32565 | Colvin turned:"Hullo, Gert, how did you get here?" |
32565 | Colvin, again? |
32565 | Come along and have a try, will you? |
32565 | Come now, what would you do with your runaway man at five hundred?" |
32565 | Coming, Upton?" |
32565 | Could any information be got out of her? |
32565 | Could it really be himself, trying how completely he could take her in? |
32565 | Could she herself be as self- possessed? |
32565 | Did Adrian himself think so? |
32565 | Did I not say a shooting- horse? |
32565 | Did he wish to apologise for his behaviour and the insulting references he had made to the President? |
32565 | Did n''t I see you in the Rand Club about a fortnight ago? |
32565 | Did the English recognise the hand of God? |
32565 | Did these Uitlanders come into our land to benefit our land? |
32565 | Did they recognise that even their puny mockery of justice had to bow before the manifestation of His will? |
32565 | Do n''t let go anything to them about this, will you?" |
32565 | Do n''t you agree with me, Mr Kershaw?" |
32565 | Do n''t you know me better than that? |
32565 | Do n''t you understand? |
32565 | Do they? |
32565 | Do with the body? |
32565 | Do you believe me now?" |
32565 | Do you hear?" |
32565 | Do you know Mynheer Botma, then?" |
32565 | Do you know, Kenneth, this infernal likeness has put me to very serious inconvenience, and came within an ace of costing me my life? |
32565 | Do you remember? |
32565 | Do you think I shall let you?" |
32565 | Do you think Oom Stephanus will be glad to see us?" |
32565 | Do you wish to converse with a minister of the Gospel to prepare you to meet your Creator?" |
32565 | Does that satisfy all here?" |
32565 | Eh?" |
32565 | Good Lord, though, how the last hour has flown?" |
32565 | Had Roux or Delport been bragging in their cups? |
32565 | Had he heard anything-- any bad news? |
32565 | Had he thought better of it and returned? |
32565 | Had she seen the Governor, and was he like his portraits? |
32565 | Had their times been too bright, too unclouded, rendering some such trial needful? |
32565 | Had they done it already? |
32565 | Had they not come there, what then? |
32565 | Had they thought better of it and were here to offer him deliverance? |
32565 | Had you not better resign yourself to the will of the Almighty and remain at home and pray-- while there is yet time?" |
32565 | Has he?" |
32565 | Has its awkward sides sometimes, has n''t it?" |
32565 | Have I offended you beyond recall? |
32565 | Have I, boys?" |
32565 | Have you been staying in Johannesburg some little while of late?" |
32565 | Have you not really and truly drawn me out of the very jaws of death this morning? |
32565 | Have you not seen it?" |
32565 | He had got over it, then? |
32565 | He loved her-- how indeed could he help doing so, when in addition to all her attractions she was always so sweet and lovable to him? |
32565 | He was one with them now, why not throw in his lot with them openly? |
32565 | Held meetings? |
32565 | Here now, what can we get you into? |
32565 | His tools? |
32565 | Hoped? |
32565 | How are you, Colvin?" |
32565 | How can I ever make you happy?" |
32565 | How can you expect decent treatment if you will persist in behaving like a lunatic?" |
32565 | How can` one of us''be a prisoner of war?" |
32565 | How could I quarrel with you?" |
32565 | How could he be, if your choice has fallen upon him? |
32565 | How could she know? |
32565 | How had it all come about? |
32565 | How had the accused received it? |
32565 | How is he, by the way, and your mother?" |
32565 | How many birds have you got?" |
32565 | How shall he find out? |
32565 | How would May Wenlock look in her bright, sweet freshness, making a second at that solitary table? |
32565 | Human remains? |
32565 | Hurrah for the war?" |
32565 | I have heard Mynheer say so, and if he does n''t know, who does?" |
32565 | I might feel inclined to go and see some of the fighting--""What''s that? |
32565 | I say, though, Kenneth, we shall be able now to make a bigger thing of that scheme of ours, eh?" |
32565 | I suppose I did come between you and him, dearest, and if that is not enough to justify him in hating me worse than Satan, will you tell me what is?" |
32565 | I suppose you were not walking down Commissioner Street with her one day last week? |
32565 | I thought you were so rigidly-- er-- Imperialist?" |
32565 | I told you that, did I not? |
32565 | I will show you this Englishman alive and free, and then you will marry me?" |
32565 | I wound you and insult you? |
32565 | I''ve heard Mynheer say so; and if he does not know, who does?" |
32565 | If one of them had sung such stuff as that about the Queen-- rotten, contemptible stuff as it is-- how long would it be before you sailed into him?" |
32565 | If only she could make him suffer for it-- but-- how could she? |
32565 | If so, why do they not stay there when they have enriched themselves out of it? |
32565 | In the darkness and wild confusion none will see, and if they do, what matter? |
32565 | Inexperienced? |
32565 | Is he coming up here, then?" |
32565 | Is he sick?" |
32565 | Is he up here?" |
32565 | Is he?" |
32565 | Is it Jan Grobbelaar?" |
32565 | Is it not?" |
32565 | Is it perhaps that you have reasons for not wanting them to know who you are?" |
32565 | Is n''t that just as pietistic? |
32565 | Is not Colvin at the front?" |
32565 | Is our independence nothing? |
32565 | It certainly would if Aletta loved him as she herself had done-- and how could Aletta do otherwise? |
32565 | It is a very wonderful place, is it not?" |
32565 | It was not square- face or_ dop_? |
32565 | Likely to turn up here, is he? |
32565 | Married some farm girl out in Africa and turned Boer, did n''t he?" |
32565 | May?" |
32565 | Might he not now proceed thither? |
32565 | Miss Wenlock is a pretty girl, is n''t she?" |
32565 | Never to see or speak with him again?" |
32565 | Never went off it, I suppose?" |
32565 | No explanations are needed, are they? |
32565 | No explanations needed? |
32565 | No, really did it?" |
32565 | Not Aasvogel?" |
32565 | Not to set eyes on him again? |
32565 | Now we have heard all the witnesses, what have you to say?" |
32565 | Now, Stephanus, will you be the only man who refuses to join his own nationality? |
32565 | Now, do you not see, you_ eselkop_?" |
32565 | Now, is there nothing, no mark or anything, that distinguishes me from my-- er-- relative?" |
32565 | Of what use was it? |
32565 | Oh yes-- and what about` God Save the Queen''? |
32565 | Oh, I suppose people have been mistaking me for you, is that it? |
32565 | Oh, was n''t Tant''Plessis killing about` the only Englishman''and` the only English girl''? |
32565 | Old Sarel, too? |
32565 | Oom Stephanus? |
32565 | Personally, too, where did the attraction lie? |
32565 | Plotting treason with your friends the Dutchmen, I believe?" |
32565 | Prettier girl than Aletta, is n''t she?" |
32565 | Reveal the conspiracy? |
32565 | Said I not that all Englishmen were liars?" |
32565 | Seats? |
32565 | Shall I tell you what else I like? |
32565 | She cut him short ruthlessly by calling out:"Gertruida, who is he?" |
32565 | Should he go back? |
32565 | Should he wake up directly and find himself back again at Pretoria, or at Ratels Hoek, or his own farm? |
32565 | So Adrian has been trying his luck then; but, has he succeeded? |
32565 | So just send along that decanter that''s at the other side of Barend Van Zyl''s elbow, will you?" |
32565 | So long?" |
32565 | So this was the obstreperous prisoner? |
32565 | So what does it matter?" |
32565 | So you were out in the Matabele rebellion?" |
32565 | Spoken to him? |
32565 | Stone? |
32565 | Strange? |
32565 | Surely the volley would have awakened him, or had he slept too soundly? |
32565 | Tell me, do you even go to bed with a cartridge- belt on? |
32565 | Tell me, now, do you think you can bring yourself to face it-- to love an old fogey like me?" |
32565 | That is what you wish, I suppose?" |
32565 | That man Da Costa? |
32565 | The Commandant has pardoned him, has he?" |
32565 | The Commandant? |
32565 | The Englishman will be out of your way to- morrow for ever-- out of all our ways, hey, Gideon? |
32565 | The Patriot? |
32565 | The latter begins to parley:"What do you insult our President for, then?" |
32565 | The latter looked up at Colvin''s greeting, barely returning it; then he said:"What have you to say?" |
32565 | The next few weeks-- months even-- would bring with them a series of hard- fought battles, and then should_ he_ escape? |
32565 | The sport? |
32565 | Then Adrian remarked carelessly:"By the way, Colvin, is Miss Wenlock staying at Johannesburg long?" |
32565 | Then again, what if they should conclude to come up and investigate? |
32565 | Then aloud,"What sort of rifle have you there, Adrian?" |
32565 | Then changing the quick tone of vivid interest into which he had been momentarily betrayed, he went on tranquilly:"And do you think he will succeed?" |
32565 | Then his thoughts took a new vein, and he seemed to hear the comments of those among whom he had sometime moved--"Colvin Kershaw? |
32565 | Then to Colvin,"What have you to say? |
32565 | Then, raising his powerful voice to thunder pitch:"Brothers, shall this go on? |
32565 | Then, to change the conversation, he went on:"Did you make a long stay at Johannesburg, Mr Kershaw?" |
32565 | Then, with a considerable flash of spirit,"Who gave you any right to take possession of me in this cool and calm manner? |
32565 | There, will that do?" |
32565 | These accursed English-- is it not enough that they rule our land and treat us like Kafirs, without coming between us and those we love? |
32565 | These are among the advantages of a free country, do n''t you know?" |
32565 | Think we can get any nearer?" |
32565 | This was the"double"then? |
32565 | To come and see you?" |
32565 | Transvaal, Free State, or Cape Colony, were they not all of one blood-- all Dutch? |
32565 | Was I mistaken?" |
32565 | Was he fighting?" |
32565 | Was he really awake-- or was this, too, only another nightmare? |
32565 | Was it Adrian back again? |
32565 | Was it before something in his glance? |
32565 | Was it for good or for ill? |
32565 | Was it not destined rather to induce him to take the other way? |
32565 | Was it not? |
32565 | Was it upon this his thoughts were dwelling so intently as he rode along mile after mile? |
32565 | Was not one of her father''s people good enough for her? |
32565 | Was there no prospect of escape? |
32565 | Was there no way out of it? |
32565 | Was there to be no end to the events of that day? |
32565 | Was this man the devil in disguise, they asked, that he could be present in two bodies at the same time? |
32565 | Was this, too, a dream? |
32565 | We can not hold a man responsible when he is off his head, can we?" |
32565 | Well, Colvin, what have you been doing lately? |
32565 | Well, this man has come between you and me, and in less than twelve hours he will be dead!--Dead-- do you hear?" |
32565 | Well, what then? |
32565 | What a bright Paradise had she been living in-- and now? |
32565 | What about the prisoner? |
32565 | What about this valiant Englishman who sneaks in between you and me, and steals away your love from me, only to make a plaything of it? |
32565 | What are you doing? |
32565 | What are you giving those children such a scolding about, father?" |
32565 | What can be done, Missis? |
32565 | What can be done?" |
32565 | What can we do to cheer her up?" |
32565 | What could be done? |
32565 | What could he do against a crowd? |
32565 | What did Mynheer think of him, and those around him, to imagine that he, or they, would countenance such a thing for a single moment? |
32565 | What did it mean? |
32565 | What did it mean? |
32565 | What did it mean? |
32565 | What did it mean? |
32565 | What did the writer see? |
32565 | What did they mean by coming into his veldt and shooting his game without his leave, and scaring his ostriches all over the place? |
32565 | What did you say his name was-- Mr Kershaw''s, I mean?" |
32565 | What did you see?" |
32565 | What discovery was he on the point of making? |
32565 | What do you think of the idea?" |
32565 | What fun is on now?" |
32565 | What had he done? |
32565 | What had she seen-- when, where, and how? |
32565 | What had the accused to go upon? |
32565 | What if I did? |
32565 | What if events should already have rendered them devoid of meaning? |
32565 | What if the plan failed? |
32565 | What if the vindictive Dutchmen, guessing they had failed, were to take a short cut behind the ridge and_ voerlij_ them further down? |
32565 | What if they had all been mistaken? |
32565 | What if this thing should be too true? |
32565 | What if this weapon should come to be pointed at others than dark- skinned barbarians, and that soon? |
32565 | What is his name?" |
32565 | What is it, Tanta? |
32565 | What is the difference, I would like to know? |
32565 | What is the use of a college education if I get the funks over old exploded superstitions only good enough for those two pigs who have just gone out? |
32565 | What might you feel inclined to do?" |
32565 | What must he be thinking of her? |
32565 | What name have you for such as he? |
32565 | What now was the patriotic cause to her? |
32565 | What on earth can it matter to him? |
32565 | What on earth could it contain, and, by the way, what right had he to pry into its contents? |
32565 | What on earth did it mean? |
32565 | What on earth did they want to shoot this Englishman for? |
32565 | What on earth_ could_ it mean? |
32565 | What other girl has just gone out, I would like to know?" |
32565 | What right have you to tell me whom I am not to be friendly with-- yes, and even more, if I choose that it shall be so? |
32565 | What should he reply? |
32565 | What show do you think your crowd has got?" |
32565 | What show? |
32565 | What sort of a fresh start could be made with murder for its foundation? |
32565 | What the deuce was the game now? |
32565 | What then, sons and descendants of those great ones? |
32565 | What then? |
32565 | What then? |
32565 | What was he going to discover? |
32565 | What was his business? |
32565 | What was it? |
32565 | What was that cursed fool about, he said to himself, not to show? |
32565 | What was the attraction? |
32565 | What was the meaning of this secret armoury? |
32565 | What was this which had come between them? |
32565 | What was to be done next? |
32565 | What will Mr Kershaw think of you? |
32565 | What''s that to you? |
32565 | What''s that you''re saying? |
32565 | What? |
32565 | What_ did_ it mean? |
32565 | Where are you staying, by the way?" |
32565 | Where was Colvin now? |
32565 | Where was Frank Wenlock? |
32565 | Where was Gert? |
32565 | Where would we be, I ask you, remembering the shameful attempt upon us three years ago? |
32565 | Where? |
32565 | Where?" |
32565 | Which do you choose?" |
32565 | Which was it? |
32565 | Which way should he take? |
32565 | Who captured him?" |
32565 | Who could it be? |
32565 | Who could say that there might not be spies among those here present, or, at any rate, but lukewarm adherents of the Republican cause? |
32565 | Who do you think it is?" |
32565 | Who is it?" |
32565 | Who smote them hip and thigh at Schuins Hoogte, and, indeed, everywhere, down to the wicked attempt upon our land-- our beloved land, two years ago? |
32565 | Who turned back England''s might, now nineteen years ago? |
32565 | Who was that in their midst? |
32565 | Who was this Mr Kershaw, she asked, and what was he doing up there? |
32565 | Who would aid him, and if any would, how could they? |
32565 | Who would have worked the gold and the mines?" |
32565 | Who''s` we,''and who is` all,''I should like to know?" |
32565 | Who? |
32565 | Why are my orders not obeyed?" |
32565 | Why could not this one have sat still and made the most of the happiness that was his-- that was theirs? |
32565 | Why did he do it? |
32565 | Why did he not ask her to share it, the more so that he had no doubt as to what the answer would be? |
32565 | Why did he? |
32565 | Why did she persist in refusing him? |
32565 | Why did you want to see him, then?" |
32565 | Why do n''t you make a prisoner of war of him, then he ca n''t do as he pleases?" |
32565 | Why do you think it was Gideon Roux, Gert?" |
32565 | Why had he become so markedly constrained? |
32565 | Why had he done it? |
32565 | Why had he ever professed love for herself? |
32565 | Why had he made her care for him, only to-- do as he had done? |
32565 | Why had she let him go? |
32565 | Why is it that you always make me say everything right out-- things I do n''t in the least want to say? |
32565 | Why not?" |
32565 | Why should I?" |
32565 | Why should he be in hiding? |
32565 | Why should he not? |
32565 | Why should she continue to pour out her love upon one who had proved so faithless? |
32565 | Why the deuce ca n''t Government have its own Secret Service department as Oom Paul is supposed to have?" |
32565 | Why was Colvin Kershaw to be murdered-- for it was murder she declared? |
32565 | Why were men so restless? |
32565 | Why would he persist in throwing away his life in that foolish manner? |
32565 | Why, what do you mean, Adrian? |
32565 | Why, what on earth are_ you_ doing here?" |
32565 | Why, whenever did you come up here?" |
32565 | Why? |
32565 | Will it? |
32565 | Will the evidence of your own eyes satisfy you, Aletta?" |
32565 | Will you come?" |
32565 | Will you kindly stand where the others have stood, and tell what you know of this matter?" |
32565 | Will you sign and abide by the declaration which was tendered you last night?" |
32565 | Will you, then, fight in those of the enemy?" |
32565 | With a dire chill the thought struck him-- what if she were no longer there? |
32565 | Without ties? |
32565 | Would Colvin help him a little? |
32565 | Would Mynheer kindly receive his formal resignation? |
32565 | Would he not reconsider his decision? |
32565 | Would it? |
32565 | Would it? |
32565 | Would that luck continue? |
32565 | Would they never go on? |
32565 | Would they never go on? |
32565 | Would they, though? |
32565 | Would they? |
32565 | Would you like to hear?" |
32565 | Yes? |
32565 | Yet it was all part of an education, and of what use was an education save to be applied? |
32565 | Yet throughout the evening the one question he is continually asking himself, and trying to deduce an answer to, is-- Has he succeeded? |
32565 | Yet what was the secret of that doubt? |
32565 | Yet why should Aletta somehow feel a vague misgiving, as though the air had turned chill and the sun were not shining quite so brightly? |
32565 | Yet, away there to the North-- what? |
32565 | Yet, why? |
32565 | Yet-- how prevent him? |
32565 | You do n''t suppose I came down here on purpose to meet you, I hope?" |
32565 | You ever see a fight before?" |
32565 | You have been amusing the child?" |
32565 | You have seen?" |
32565 | You remember, Aletta? |
32565 | You wo n''t? |
32565 | You, is it? |
32565 | _ You_ smoke Transvaal tobacco, then?" |
32565 | are all men alike that they think a girl is only made to be their plaything? |
32565 | had left home, perhaps, and gone away to Cape Town, as she had done before? |
32565 | what was this? |
32565 | what was this? |
32565 | why should Colvin have all the good things of earth? |
32565 | why should he not go forth? |
32565 | would n''t they split? |
32565 | you noticed it, then? |
