'I durnd know what yo' mean, Gronny. 'Why, it's i' this way, lass; my Jimmy and yor little Job wur aar own, wurnd they? 'Yi, forsure they wur. 'We feshioned 'em, as the Psalmist sez, didn't we? 'Thaa sez truth, Gronny, wept the younger woman. 'And we feshioned 'em lads an' o'. 'Yi, and fine uns; leastways, my little Job wur bless him.
It is here the valley of the Rhine narrows, and the succession of ridges and dales which the road skirts, are sometimes entirely barren, at others thickly covered with vines and fruit-trees. I made a digression from the road up the little river Aar, which falls into the Rhine near Sinzig. A more striking picture you cannot imagine.
Suddenly he was recalled to his position as the pastor of the church by the voice of old Enoch, mellow as the tones of the flute on which he so often tuned his soul in moods of sorrow and sin. How long Enoch had been talking Mr. Penrose knew not; but what he heard in the rude yet kindly vernacular of the moors was: 'Let's show mercy, lads! Noan o' us con howd up aar yeds baat it.
But the British colonists have an implicit faith marvellous when the past is remembered in the resolve of the Imperial Government and of the nation never to abandon them again. At De Aar the stage of our journey which may be said to have been uncertain began. Armoured trains patrol the line; small parties of armed police guard the bridges; infantry and artillery detachments occupy the towns.
Upon the life and movement of a powerful creation fell the silence of death. How he followed out this idea in his subsequent investigations will be seen hereafter.

"Never have I seen its like." "Aye," exclaimed Steinar, "but an ill place to hunt it in," and he looked doubtfully at the rough gorge, covered with undergrowth, that some hundred yards farther on became dense birch forest. "I think it would be well to ride back to Aar, and return to-morrow morning with all whom we can gather. This is no task for three spears."
The Northumberlands the famous Fighting Fifth came crawling up behind our train, and may now be at Naauwpoort or De Aar. Total: say, 4100 infantry, of whom some 600 mounted; no cavalry, no field-guns. The Boer force available against these isolated positions might be very reasonably put at 12,000 mounted infantry, with perhaps a score of guns.
When this task had been accomplished, General De la Rey and I asked General Cronje's permission to take fifteen hundred men, and carry on operations in the direction of Hopetown and De Aar with the intention of breaking Lord Methuen's railway communications. But Cronje would hear nothing of the scheme. Say what we would, there was no moving him.
The natural irritability arising from residence in De Aar, added to the sultry heat and one's comparative distance from the canteen counter, frequently caused quarrels and personal assaults in the swaying column.
