So Matilda gave him her bonbons and box, if it were a box, to hold, while she went for ward again. This present was from Norton, and of itself filled her arms. Wrapped up in papers as it was, she could not know more of it than that. She came back to Norton with high-coloured cheeks and eyes very bright indeed. "What's that?" said Judy. "What has Norton given you? it's big enough. Pshaw!
Now, at these outspoken words, for when his indignation was aroused Retief was no measurer of language, Pereira's high-coloured face went white as a sheet. "Mein Gott, mynheer," he said, "I am minded to make you answer for such talk," and his hand went to the knife at his girdle. "What!" shouted Retief, "do you want another shooting match?
His complexion was brunette, his hair brownish, soft, and straight, his beard and eye-brows the same colour, but the former curly, the latter were bushy and inclined to stand up like horns when he was angry.

Dress so untidy, peculiar, and worn that it is said the police invariably request him to move on, should he loiter in the streets at night.
Close by the door, where the draught blew coolest, sat the lay brother; around him, in a packed half- circle, some sixty high-coloured faces set with staring eyes; and in the background of the barn-like room benches were to be seen, and blackboards with sums on them in chalk. The brother rose to greet us, sensibly humble.

"Doubtless you are not of this place?" she asked. "You are right, lady; I only arrived yesterday from the country." "You came with your parents?" "No, lady, alone."
The trees make a rapid growth, come into bearing very early, often bearing a fair crop three years after planting, and fruiting even earlier. The fruit of the early varieties has usually a handsome appearance, but lacks keeping qualities, but the later fruits are both handsome, high-coloured fruit, and good keepers.
