"And so you are tired of us all, and want to go back," mused Phil, breaking one of the long, silent periods that in these days seemed so often to fall upon them when they found themselves alone. "That's not quite fair, Phil," she returned gently. "You know it's not that."
"I didn't think you'd be able to get out so soon from what Dad told me. Been havin' some trouble with your hand?" "It's all right now." Mackenzie was making use of it to shake the coffeepot, only to find that Reid had drained it to the grounds. "If I'd recognized you, Jacob, I'd made a double allowance," Reid said, lifting the corner of his big, unfeeling mouth in a twitching grin.
Reid humbly; 'I was only saying to the lassie that I didn't want her to hurry; but I'd be right sorry when I'm getting old not to have some notion where I was going to leave my money it'll more than last out Eelan's day, if it's rightly taken care of.

Reid, who had established an ambulance base on Cronje's farm, telling him to give Cecil something to sleep upon. The, Boers were very polite to Cecil and as she rode through the different camps every man took off his hat. We went back to Ventersberg that night and about two o'clock Cecil came to my room and woke me up with the intelligence that the British were only two hours away.
Miss Carter rivalled the celebrated Dacier in learning and critical knowledge; Mrs. Lennox signalized herself by many successful efforts of genius both in poetry and prose; and Miss Reid excelled the celebrated Rosalba in portrait-painting, both in miniature and at large, in oil as well as in crayons.

He was a master of detail, one of those rare men who can retain within their grasp the full knowledge of every fact in the most complicated of problems.
