I hear that my Lady Denham is exceeding sick, even to death, and that she says, and every body else discourses, that she is poisoned; and Creed tells me, that it is said that there hath been a design to poison the King. What the meaning of all these sad signs is the Lord only knows, but every day things look worse and worse. God fit us for the worst! 12th.
The Sergeant shook his head sadly, and replied, "Don't ask me, gentlemen. It looks bad very bad. The Boers ain't soldiers, but they're keeping their lines wonderfully tight." "That's our fault," said Denham. "We gave them such lessons by our night attack and the capture of the six wagons and teams." "I say," said the Sergeant, and he looked from one to the other.

She must have gone to pray at her father's grave, and there " Drake stopped with sudden terror in his eyes. "And there Miss Denham stabbed her.
