You rob and you murder, and you want me to rob and murder, and play the silver-cooper, or kidnapper, as you call it, a dozen times over, and then, hagel and wind-sturm! you speak to me of conscience! Can you think of no fairer way of getting rid of this unlucky lad?" "No, meinheer; but as I commit him to your charge "
Meinheer and the Finn came to words and blows, and I, who was sitting astride of the railing staring, heard a shrill scream from the old man and a rattle as he dropped his fiddle, and then a flash and a red rain of blood on the table as my Finn fell with a knife in him, the Hollander's knife, smartly pegged in between the left breast and the shoulder.
"Good-day, Meinheer Frank Muller," replied the old man very coldly, for John had told him of the incident at the shooting-party which so nearly ended fatally, and though he made no remark he had formed his own conclusions. "What are you reading about in the Volkstem, Oom Silas about the Bezuidenhout affair?" "No; what was that?" "It was that the volk are rising against you English, that is all.
Not that I should like to travel myself. I think that the Lord meant us to stop in the place He has made for us. "You mean that the veldt has got 'tame', Meinheer?" "Nay, nay. I mean that the land is English now," he answered mysteriously, "and though I dare not say so among my volk, I hope that it will keep English.
At length the jockey, after the other had made some ineffectual attempts to express something intelligibly which he wished to say, observed, "Isn't it a pity that so fine a fellow as meinheer, and so clever a fellow too, as I believe him to be, is not a better master of our language?" "Is the gentleman a German?" said I; "if so, I can interpret for him anything he wishes to say."
A tedious half-hour during which the lady had all the conversation to herself, for the curate answered only in monosyllabic compliance, and Rainscourt made no answer whatever elapsed before dinner was announced by the German mercenary who had been subsidised. "Meinheer, de dinner was upon de table." "Come, Mr Rainscourt," said the curate, in a persuasive tone.
Two hours later Will heard the trampling of horses, and two officers, with a troop of cavalry, rode up. “I bear a warrant to search your house, Van Duyk,” Will heard one of them say. “You have searched it three times already, meinheer, but you can, of course, search it again if you wish. You will certainly find no more now than you did then.”
"And I know nothing of the matter?" said the dependant "a good jest, I promise you! And though I never saw Ravenswood fence, have I not been at Monsieur Sagoon's school, who was the first maitre d'armes at Paris; and have I not been at Signor Poco's at Florence, and Meinheer Durchstossen's at Vienna, and have I not seen all their play?"
"`We are in good time, apparently, observed the dark hunter, catching the smell of the roasted meat, as he walked to the fire and surveyed my brother and sister, and myself. `You have young cooks here, Meinheer. `I am glad that we shall not have to wait, replied my father. `Come, mistress, seat yourself by the fire; you require warmth after your cold ride. `And where can I put up my horse, Meinheer? observed the huntsman. `I will take care of him, replied my father, going out of the cottage door.
"No, Meinheer Muller," replied Bessie, coldly, "but he is down there," pointing at a kraal on the plain some half-mile away, "if you want to go and ask about it." "Mr. Muller," said he, by way of correction, and with a curious contraction of the brow. "'Meinheer' is very well for the Boers, but we are all Englishmen now. Well, the ox can wait.
