With a low cry Byng ran forward, the sjambok swung through the air, and the terrible whip descended on the crouching half-caste. Krool gave one cry and fell back a little, but he made no attempt to resist. Suddenly Byng went to a window and threw it open. "You can jump from there or take the sjambok. Which?" he said with a passion not that of a man wholly sane. "Which?"
Lady Tynemouth's sympathy was deeply roused for Jasmine, and she meant to try and win her confidence and to help her in her trouble, if she could; but she was full of something else at this particular moment, and she was not completely conscious of the agony before her. "Have you been using this sjambok on Mennaval?" she asked with an attempt at lightness. "I saw him leaving as I came in.
And surely my sjambok must have helped them against the poison flowers, for they came right through, having smelt the water maybe; and brought us here to its very side, where I awoke to find them drinking. But the other is there in the dunes he will sleep well, that one; and die."
Was it you, Jantje?" "Yes, baas," responded the dutiful black, bobbing up and down on his master's spare horse. "Give him twenty with the sjambok." "Right!" Jantje and his master turned out of the road, and soon the unmistakable thwack! thwack! of the sjambok could be heard, mingled with subdued ejaculations in Kafir and Dutch.
It's the way to make you straight and true, my sweet Krool." Still keeping his eyes fixed on Krool's eyes, his hand reached out and slowly took the sjambok from the table. He ran the cruel thing through his fingers as does a prison expert the cat-o'-nine-tails before laying on the lashes of penalty.
And then the sjambok, wielded by a strong and brutal hand, would bite into the quivering flesh of the child, and she would shriek for mercy, and presently fall upon the ground and lie there like one dead acting that old tragedy over and over again. God was very kind to you, Reverend Mother, if He hid that sight from one to whom she was so dear.
He was so kind to me that time he found me lying near Smit's house, when my pony ran away and threw me, and I felt so miserable when I heard that his master was cruel and often beat him with a sjambok. Often and often since he ran away and it must be nearly a year now I have prayed God that he might come back, and that Jan Smit might become good to him What have you heard?"
She would not go with you." Stafford had far greater difficulty in staying his hand than had Barry Whalen, for the sjambok seemed the only reply to the dark suggestion. He realized how, like the ostrich, he had thrust his head into the sand, imagining that no one knew what was between himself and Jasmine.
They had all been implicated in the recent loss of cattle suffered by their savage master, who had already flogged the Bushman with the sjambok and was furiously interrogating the Hottentot. At last he gave him a tremendous cut across the shoulders, which immediately raised a dark red bar thereon. Ruyter's black eyes flashed.
"Whisht! whisht!" cried our prisoner contemptuously. "Whisht! whisht! I'd like to whisht you with a Boer's sjambok," cried the Sergeant.
