For we have a debt to pay back to South Africa; and if we cannot resume our solemn responsibilities towards her and her millions of native peoples, in a chastened, a wiser and a more determined spirit than that which for some time has prevailed, it would be better to relinquish them altogether. keywords: africa; boers; british; cape; chief; colony; convention; country; day; dutch; england; english; following; footnote; frere; god; government; great; kruger; law; mackenzie; man; native; peace; people; policy; present; president; principles; public; queen; question; races; sir; slavery; south; south africa; state; time; transvaal; war; work; years cache: 14299.txt plain text: 14299.txt item: #2 of 5 id: 25803 author: Wallace, Edgar title: The Keepers of the King's Peace date: None words: 54831 flesch: 84 summary: Put your faith in old Bones.

Said James, as they all sat smoking there,-- Brother Halcott, my first words are these--and I'm an older man than either of you--We must not despair! We must not despair! repeated both his shipmates. When in action, on the field, or on the march, he had little time to think; but here, in this solitude, the seared conscience regained its softness, and in his thoughts by day and in his dreams at the dead hours o' night, Charles Halcott, rose visions of the terrible misery he brought on Europe, and the black and awful deeds he did in Egypt. keywords: admiral; babs; board; boat; bob; boy; captain; cave; come; dark; day; days; dear; eyes; face; father; fire; flower; going; gold; good; green; halcott; hand; head; high; hill; home; island; james; kind; left; life; like; look; man; men; miss; moment; nelda; night; poor; ransey; round; sailor; savages; scragley; sea; ship; tandy; time; tree; way; weathereye; white; wild; wind cache: 37588.txt plain text: 37588.txt item: #4 of 5 id: 37712 author: Doyle, Arthur Conan title: The Crime of the Congo date: None words: 52204 flesch: 71 summary: The Congo State was founded by the Belgian King, and exploited by Belgian capital, Belgian soldiers and Belgian concessionnaires.
