Vous vous êtes donné la peine de naître! In that sentence one can hear far off, but distinct the flash and snap of the guillotine. To those happy listeners, though, no such sound was audible. Their speculations went another way.
Delarey, Kemp, and Steyn escaped; and even Liebenberg, when about to suffer the peine forte et dure upon the Schoon Spruit blockhouse line, found a discontinuity through which he wriggled at midnight. Delarey mustered his burghers to the number of over 2,000 on the Hart's River.
