"Go'-day, my dear Court ladies," said Jan as he swung the gate wide open and went out toward them.

He was seated on a fallen log, his head resting in his hands, his rusty black robe gathered around him. For a moment my hair stirred under my cap; sweat started on forehead and cheek bone; then I recovered my reason, and understood that the man was human and was probably wounded to death.
Something hot that stabbed his brain and eyes like sharp needles flooded his mouth and nose. "Ah!" he groaned, and sank helplessly forward on his hands, dropping the whip, while his cap fell off. He saw nothing, he heard nothing, being only conscious of the horrible disgrace, and of a dull burning pain in his eye. "Oh!
