36601Ach, 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?"

36601And where did she come from?
36601Are these not beautiful pumpkins?
36601Are these soldiers;--and what are they doing here?
36601Aunt,--let me talk to you: Do you know that I am often very glad that I was born blind?
36601But where is Kanu? 36601 But why did you go without telling us?"
36601Child,--you are blind and thus can not understand.--Hark.--Is not that a sound of shouting, afar off?
36601Come, my lass,--you look tired and hungry; is it some dinner you want?
36601Despise you? 36601 Do n''t you like honey, Uncle?"
36601Do they fit, my child?

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