summary:
  There were many old men and boys who preferred the society of the women to the danger of the bombs. The Boer women were sometimes forced to accept the protection of the enemy, after their farms and property had been destroyed by friend and enemy alike.

summary:
  The rough labour all over South Africa is done mostly by Kaffirs and other coloured people. It is with real grief that I must record my convictions against the Boer nation as solely and entirely guilty, but with this qualification, that its responsibility is much attenuated by the fact, as I will endeavour to show, that the bulk of that people has been unconsciously decoyed as tools of a gigantic intrigue, a conspiracy which was originated some thirty years ago by an infamous Hollander coterie, and operated since by its product and engine, the now well-known Afrikaner Bond Association, with its significant motto of Afrika voor Afrikaners[1]--its object being no less than the eviction of all that is English from South Africa, and to substitute a federation of all South African States into one free and independent Republic, the affiliation to be with Holland instead, and Dutch the common and official language, other nations, in return for afforded aid, to participate in the trade and other advantages wrested from England.

  When the crush slackened he turned, looked down, and found himself gazing into the glowing, sightless eyes of little Elsie, the blind girl he had damned his soul to orphan. you no longer hate Uncle Gideon?

summary:
  It was quite in keeping with their other ideas of personal comfort for many Boer burghers to carry a coloured parasol or an umbrella to protect them from the rays of the sun, and it was not considered beneath their dignity to wear a woman's shawl around their shoulders or head when the morning air was chilly. It is not hard to understand why many men should become fascinated with warfare and travel to the ends of the earth in order to take part in it, but a soldier of fortune needs to make no apologies.

  Ah, to think of it, this man who had been to her as a very god--who was not as other men--who had come into her life to take possession of it, and to whom she had surrendered, a willing, happy captive--for him to deceive her, to make her the victim of such a commonplace, petty form of deception! Colvin stood in no greater fear of death than most other men who have more than once seen it very near; yet that helpless sense of being shut up, to meet it in cold blood at a given time, was a trifle creepy and unnerving.

  It was a wonderful day, and as we rode across the veldt into Swaziland Tuys told me the whole story of how he became known as The White King of Swaziland. Mzaan Bakoor, little white induna, he said in the same rumbling melodious bass so common among the Swazis, I am Lomwazi, brother of the king and son of Queen Labotsibeni.

  Through Shot and Flame The Adventures and Experiences of J. D. Kestell Chaplain to President Steyn and General Christian De Wet

summary:
  When General de Wet passed through Slabbert's Nek, the following arrangement was decided on: General de Wet was to proceed on the 15th to Heilbron, and General Roux the day after to the south of the State. Now, as Olivier, Hasebroek, and others had decided to go to the President and General de Wet in order to be reorganised, I decided to go too.
