A knobkerry is a stick with a heavy round knob for a head, overlaid, head and stem, with copper and steel wire, in ingenious spirals and patterns. The Kaffirs make them. I also wired to my brother to meet our train at Elandsfontein.

A soldier has no business to think of a wife till his rank is such as to place him above the fear of bringing into the world a train of helpless innocents, heirs only to penury and affliction.

The lion had scented his prey. "The lord chamberlain is not in the queen's train!" said John Heywood earnestly. "No," exclaimed Earl Douglas. "The poor earl. That will make him very sad." "And why think you that will make him sad?" asked the king in a voice very like the roll of distant thunder.
