"You laugh at me," she said to him one day, "but I tell you you are a child of God. There is a divine spark in you. It must come out.
That their plunge might stimulate Methuen to burn his boots and brave the turgid waters of the Modder, was the fervent wish of Kimberley at the end of fourteen weeks of irksome, emaciating duress.
