Love swelled the swan-like neck, and moulded the rounded limb. She was just the kind of person that takes the judgment by storm: whether gay or grave, there was so charming and irresistible a grace about her.

The miners I encountered were strange to me, of another nation than my own.
"Let not the thin curtain of bitter water stand before your lustrous eyes any longer, then, the events which have followed one another in the past few days in a fashion that can only be likened to thunder following lightning are indeed sufficient to distress one with so refined and swan-like an organization, but they are now assuredly at an end."

While this was being done a large force of the enemy were massing at Alexandersfontein, as if they had finally decided to take Kimberley without more ado.
