"You have unconsciously played a part in a comedy and played it very well, too but it is time to bring the piece to an end. We are fast verging on the confines of tragedy." "I do not understand you, my lord," Sir Giles returned, gravely.

And with another gracious smile, she rejoined the cavalcade, leaving Lord Roos behind. He thanked her with a look for her complaisance. "O Gillian, I am sure ill will come of this," Dick Taverner exclaimed. "Wherefore should it?" she rejoined, almost beside herself with delight at the brilliant prospect suddenly opened before her. "My fortune is made."

Often the waggons in which these were being carried to imprisonment in the Concentration Camps were upset by the unskilful driving of the soldiers or their kaffir servants, and many women and children were injured in this way. Moreover, a certain Mrs. Lindeque was killed by an English bullet near Roos Senekal, the soldiers saying that she had passed through the outposts against instructions.
