The doctor's face, too, which had on the flash of Theron's turning seemed given over to unmixed anger, took on an expression of bodily suffering instead. "My shoulder has grown all at once excessively painful," he said hastily. "I'm afraid I must ask you to excuse me, Mr. Ware."
Theron's musings were broken in upon from time to time by rumbling outbursts of hymn-singing from the church next door. Surely, he said to himself, there could be no other congregation in the Conference, or in all Methodism, which sang so badly as these Octavians did.
Report of Resident Magistrate, Riversdale, September 4, 1901. Two coloured despatch riders severely flogged. Report of Intelligence, South Cape Colony, September 18, 1901. Natives murdered by Theron's orders. Report of Chief Commissioner, Richmond, September 23, 1901. Two unarmed natives shot by Commandant Malan. Report of Resident Magistrate, Prieska, September 26, 1901.
Theron's a big sea captain, and Zenas in Washington building up the Capitol, and I dare say Mat is thinking of being sent to Congress. Joe is in the Army, and the young one keeps his mother a lady in New York, I've heard say. Mis' King deserves some reward." Betty glanced up in surprise. It was seldom Aunt Priscilla praised in this wholesale fashion. "And this about the hat is just queer, Betty.
The whole effect of the room was as bare and squalid to Theron's newly informed eye as the atmosphere was offensive to his nostrils. He coughed sharply, and his wife sat up and looked at the clock.

"Do not trouble to answer this, for I am leaving home now, but shall call at Thurston's at eleven, and wait. "Thanking you in anticipation, "I am " Here Theron's fluency came to a sharp halt.
Ledsmar's house, toward which Theron's impulses had been secretly leading him ever since Celia's parting remark about the rheumatism, was of that spacious and satisfying order of old-fashioned houses which men of leisure and means built for themselves while the early traditions of a sparse and contented homogeneous population were still strong in the Republic.
Work in them awful deathbeds of Voltaire an' Tom Paine, with the Devil right there in the room, reachin' for 'em, an' they yellin' for fright; that's what fills the anxious seat an' brings in souls hand over fist." Theron's tongue dallied for an instant with the temptation to comment upon these old-wife fables, which were so dear to the rural religious heart when he and I were boys.
Think of his forces fighting through that rigorous winter, wearing only their summer uniforms! No wonder their ardour grew cool! Theron's corps now came through from the Transvaal and joined De Wet. Theron, dissatisfied with his treatment by the Transvaal Government, was here received with open arms.
The instant a wish occurs to me, I rush to gratify it. That is my theory of life. That accounts for the piano; and I don't see that you've anything to say about it at all." It seemed very convincing, this theory of life. Somehow, the thought of Miss Madden's riches had never before assumed prominence in Theron's mind.
