The Dopper party declared that they had had enough progress, and proposed the extremely conservative Paul Kruger as President, Burgers' time having nearly expired.
Her shoes were of white canvas; her stockings pink and open-worked; her gloves were of white thread, and had grown grey in the palms with agitation. One of them firmly grasped a crimson "sunshyde," with green and scarlet cherries growing out of the end of the stick. The young Dopper warmly grasped the other, provoking a squeal from the enchantress. "Mind me bad finger!
Its two principal monuments, after the Jubilee fountain, are the tombstone of the founder of the Dopper Church the Ironsides of South Africa and a statue with inscribed pedestal complete put up to commemorate the introduction of the Dutch tongue into the Cape Parliament.
His florid bearded face, thick-set figure and his deep guttural growls reminded me of a Boer Dopper. Among all the Russians I met at Port Arthur, the most interesting figure was to me the great battle painter Verestshagin. I am proud to be able to say that he called me "friend." I happened to be of some assistance to him in alleviating an attack of malaria.
Judging from appearances, you would never have taken this portly, rubicund, iron-gray, bushy-browed gentleman for a statesman. But a statesman he was for all that, and the Emperor and Germany miss him sorely. I would have taken him for a Boer Dopper or an English yeoman. This suggestion was supported by his atrocious taste in fancy waistcoats. The one he had on still sticks in my memory.
The Sergeant was ahead of the half-company, speaking to the officer in charge. It was the Corporal who answered, across the man who marched upon the left of W. Keyse: "O' course it was. But you 'ad the Dopper fust, and," he cackled quietly, "the Colonel won't be jealous." The eyes and mouth of W. Keyse became circular. "The who?" "The Colonel, didn't you 'ear me say?" "That wasn't never ... 'im"?

We read of conversions here and there and everywhere.
She indicated the Slabberts, heavily observant of the couple with the muddy eyes under the tow-coloured thatch. "'Strewth!" W. Keyse whistled depreciatively between his teeth, and elevated his scanty eyebrows. "That tow-'eaded, bung-nosed, 'ulking, big Dopper. An' you a daughter of the Empire!" Oh! the thrice-retorted scorn in the sharp-edged Cockney voice!
Newman is right in refusing to sacrifice a good word because it may be pronounced mean by individual caprice, wrong in attempting the fatal impossibility of rescuing a word which to all minds alike conveys a low or ludicrous meaning, as, for example, pate, and dopper, for which he does battle doughtily. Mr.
He shortly afterwards made quite a liberal remittance to his wife, and his troopers pushed Kruger half-sovereigns across most of the bars in Gueldersdorp shortly after the purchase by a Dopper farmer of a teak-built Cape waggon that a particular friend of the sergeant's had got to sell. And they were careful, at first, not to wag loose tongues.
