The marginal remarks are the notes made by a member of the Reform Committee to whom it was shown. Jameson's Forces. On Saturday, December 28, 1895, Dr. Jameson received a Reuter's telegram showing that the situation at Johannesburg had become acute.
For three weeks the men were continuously drilled and practised in all warlike exercises and thoroughly prepared for the enterprise which their leaders had in view. On Sunday, December 29, at about three in the afternoon, the little force was paraded and Dr. Jameson read to them the letter of invitation quoted in a previous chapter.
"I thought we came pretty fast." Werner smiled. "I guess those boys had enough of Tarrytown. They rolled into the yard, both of them, while you and Mr. Jameson and Manton were stopping to watch the people in the water." "I see!" Kennedy gave me a side glance. "Where are the dressing rooms?" he inquired. It was a random shot. Werner pointed to the end of the hall, toward the washroom.
Jameson had come on from New York for the occasion should ride in the procession with the minister and the lawyer in a barouche from Grover.
Elaine gave him her hand and he took it in such a deferential way that one could not help liking him. Elaine was much impressed. As Del Mar and I walked down the avenue, he kept up a running fire of conversation until at last we came near the La Coste. "Charmed to have met you, Mr. Jameson," he said, pausing. "We shall see a great deal of each other I hope."
The Reform Committee had then learnt that the two messengers sent to stop Dr. Jameson Major Heany and Captain Holden had reached him, and had come in with him, and were at that moment prisoners with him in Pretoria.
To comprehend Hermione the observer must separate her, absolutely and finally, from association with the passions. Mrs. Jameson acutely and justly describes her character as exhibiting "dignity without pride, love without passion, and tenderness without weakness." That is exactly true.
What is there needing to be cut out?" It was Flora Clark who replied, and I always suspected her of a motive in it, for she had heard about her jumbles by that time. She said there was a little pair of gingham trousers needed for the missionary's five-year-old boy, and Mrs. Jameson, without a quiver of hesitation, asked for the gingham and scissors.
The more recent events connected with the Jameson raid into the Transvaal may also be cited. Of the raid itself there is little to be said. It was, in truth, one of the most discreditable as well as mischievous events in recent colonial history, and its character was entirely unrelieved by any gleam either of heroism or of skill.
"Corporal Aarvo Kavaalen," he introduced. "And Privates Skinner and Jameson.... Well, where is it?" "Right inside." Rand stepped backward, gesturing them in. "Careful; it's just inside the doorway." McKenna and the corporal entered; the two privates set down their box outside and followed. They all drew up in a semicircle around the late Arnold Rivers and looked at him critically. "Jesus!"
