Germany again appeared as a menace and, as in the case of Samoa, the international situation thus produced tended to develop a realization of the kinship between Great Britain and the United States. Early in January, 1896, the Jameson raid into the Transvaal was defeated, and the Kaiser immediately telegraphed his congratulations to President Krtiger.
"Please don't forget that." Lady Medlincourt raised her eyebrows. "Bless the boy!" she exclaimed. "As though I were likely to! I can feel it go shivering down my backbone all the time. Sit here for a moment, both of you. I am going to give Jameson orders myself not to admit any one for a little while." She crossed the room and they were alone for a moment.
Lang, who was in his element, ignored the rest of his party and commenced a patient, systematic search, on his own account, for secret apparatus.
