Let the man be shot if you will, but no more."
Then I sent for Pereira and ordered him out of my camp, telling him that if he came back among the Boers I would have him put on his trial for attempted murder. He said nothing, but went away." "Whither did he go?" "To a place that Dingaan gave him just outside his kraal. The king said that he would be useful to him, as he could mend guns and teach his soldiers to shoot with them.

For the lotus tank and orange grove, and all my little tame animals and my pretty play-places I should never, never see any more" Overcome by which intimate memories, Damaris' grave voice which had taken on a chanting cadence, at once novel and singularly pleasing to the young man's ear quavered and broke.
