It's been some fool of an Englishman that's given you these, I'm thinking. How much is it? 'I declare to heaven I never thought to count! I exclaimed. 'But that is soon remedied. And I counted out ten notes of ten pound each, all in the name of Abraham Newlands, and five bills of country bankers for as many guineas. 'One hundred and twenty six pound five, cried the old lady.
"What about her?" "She is staying at Newlands the two girls are friends, I believe. She seemed to me a fine creature when last I saw her. She knows the world, yet struck me curiously untouched by it. She is well read, she has ideas some of them a little extravagant, but time will modify that. Only her head is awake as yet, not her heart, I think. Shall I ask her to come too?"
Her head erect, her eyes moist, Mary turned to Julius March and asked him of the welfare of a certain labourer's family that had lately migrated from Newlands to Sandyfield. But Ormiston's voice broke in upon the inquiries with a determination to claim her attention. "Miss Cathcart," he said, "forgive my interrupting you. I can tell you more about the Spratleys than March can. They're all right.
Those who can boast of even the most moderate means have their residences in the attractive suburbs of Rondebosch, Newlands, or Wynberg, and innumerable are the pretty little villas and gardens one sees in these vicinities.
Jackson leaned back in his chair, and glanced up at the candlelit Archers, Newlands and van der Luydens hanging in dark frames on the dark walls.

She was the girl that was going to America.
A very convenient short line of railway also brings within easy reach of the inhabitants of Cape Town the pretty villages of Mowbray, Rondebosch, Rosebank, Newlands, Wynberg, Constantia, &c., where, in charming villas and other residences, so many of the wealthier classes reside. Constantia wine can only be produced on these farms.
I hope, nay, am sure that my son can retort with sincerity from this shepherd's dialogue turned upside down, "O fortunate senex; ergo tua rura manebunt" "Oh, happy old man; therefore your little fields and little woodlands at Newlands shall still flourish and abound."
Another unwritten chapter, which I desire particularly to write, is a chapter on Newlands, the history of the house which I love only less than I love Sutton Court, the house which I and my wife built, if not with our own hands, at any rate with our own heads, the house in which my children were born, and two of my grandchildren, the house from which my daughter was married, the house which I have seen grow like a tree out of the ground, finally, a house sanctified by the sufferings of brave men, who had fought for a great cause and laid us all under an obligation never to be expressed in words.
