"Well, that's as bad as wounded, dear, and I am sure he would have been wounded if he could." And so on. "When are you going back to Cambridge, Anthony?" asked Mrs. Walrond presently. "To-morrow morning, I am sorry to say," he answered, and Barbara's face fell at his words.

N.J. de Wet acted as interpreter; Mr. O. Walrond was secretary for the English Government; and the Rev. J.D. Kestell and D. Van Velden acted in a similar capacity for the Commission. The Conference met at ten o'clock in the morning at the house of Lord Kitchener. After having greeted each other, the members took their seats at the table in the centre of the room.

The Reverend Septimus was weeping over the sorrows of the world.
In this situation I remained for about half an hour, the Postmaster preparing to accompany us, which he did taking me with him in his car as a prisoner.
