"My father," she says, "was taught to believe that my brain was too large for my body and so kept me out of school, but I gained book knowledge with far less labour than is usually requisite. At ten years of age I was familiar with Lindley Murray's Grammar, as with the Westminster Catechism and the latter I had to repeat every Sunday.
Laura started when she saw it, and involuntarily threw a glance almost of terror at Richard Lindley. But that melancholy and absent-minded gentleman observed neither the glance nor the jewel. He saw Cora's eyes, when they were vouchsafed to his vision, and when they were not he apparently saw nothing at all.
"Take care of yourself, Alice, and bless you!" And, underneath its happiness, his boyish face was unusually grave, as he mounted and rode away at Weldon's side. Christmas morning found the camp at Lindley wakening to a general atmosphere of peace and good will to man.
The old man opened the front door, stepped out, closing it behind him; and the three women looked at each other wanly during a hushed interval like that in a sleeping-car at night when the train stops. Presently he came in again, and started up the stairs, heavily and slowly, as he had gone down. "Richard Lindley stopped him," he said, sighing with the ascent, and not looking up.

With Kroonstad as their centre they were continually working through the dangerous Lindley and Heilbron districts, returning to the railway line only to start again immediately upon a fresh quest.

"But it is quite true, Horatio; and our boy has behaved like a hero, if he is our son," replied the lady, bestowing a glance of pride upon the midshipman. "He says he has a prisoner on board," added the captain. "And who do you think that prisoner is, Horatio?" asked Mrs. Passford. "Is it Jeff Davis?" he inquired, with a smile. "Not exactly; but it is Major Lindley Pierson." "Indeed?
He signalled to us to stop, and came panting up to the side of the cart. "My horse died this morning," he said, "and I've been carrying this saddle all day. Can't you load it up for me as far as Lindley?" The man looked so thoroughly done up that I felt sorry for him.
