14299	Have you not heard of the treaties which we have been able to make with the natives and with the Portuguese?''
14299	He could never keep his temper on that subject, My host abruptly demanded,''But do n''t you think that Frere should have been hanged?''
14299	How could there, under these circumstances, be confidence any longer?
14299	How far has South Africa been governed on these principles?
14299	How is she best to pursue it?
14299	I said,''these countries do not belong to the Transvaal;''to which they replied,''Do you know what our intentions are?
14299	I will ask you to consider what would have been the best advice that we could have given at that time to the Government at Washington?
14299	If both pray, must He refuse one?
14299	If the Queen wishes to give them their land, why does she not give them back the Cape?"
14299	In regard to the assertion that"England coveted the gold of the Transvaal,"what is here meant by"England?"
14299	In the same way, I ask, has a native no feelings or affections?
14299	Is it possible that Boer theologians, who quote Scripture with so much readiness, have never read the following?
14299	Is it true, Mr. Mackenzie, that those blacks were kind to our people who fled to them from the Transvaal, and that they there protected them?''
14299	Is n''t it what everybody is saying here?
14299	Is not honesty one of the cardinal virtues which we should expect to find amongst small nations, if nowhere else?
14299	Is therefore God for one nation and not for another?
14299	Is this true?''
14299	It is the Peace of God which we pray for?
14299	Let the Government adopt, with mathematical rigour if you like, an opposition to annexation, and what does it effect?
14299	May He not be for one, and for the other too?
14299	My friends have sometimes asked me, what then is the ground of my hope for the future of our country and all over whom our Queen reigns?
14299	No appeal should be permitted, for may it not lead to a quashing of the conviction?
14299	Now what are the articles to which the Boer Government here objects, and has continued to object?
14299	Of them might be aptly quoted the speech Shakespeare puts into Shylock''s mouth:''Hath not a Jew eyes?
14299	Shall we place legal restrictions on marriage, or on the birth of children, or prescribe that no family shall exceed a certain number?
14299	Summary justice(?)
14299	Their lives have been disciplined under native rule, and now that the white man is breaking up that rule, what is he going to give as a substitute?
14299	There was a hum of approval, with a sharp enquiry from Montsioa,--did he really mean to go himself?
14299	They appealed to our Government, and we did nothing; there came again and again despairing appeals to England, and how were they met?
14299	To loose the bands of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that ye break every yoke?"
14299	Was Dr. Dale ready to run the risk of a fresh war in South Africa?
14299	Was his policy to be changed, and how?
14299	We have not heard that you are sick; then why have you to leave us?
14299	Were they in their own minds out of South Africa, and resolved never to return?
14299	What about the speeches still more recently made in this country in support of it?''
14299	What are our Sons to do?
14299	What are the facts?
14299	What can the chief of a small State of 250,000 inhabitants do with such a large amount of Secret funds?
14299	What changes does it involve?
14299	What has the Boer done to lift these people?
14299	What have they done?
14299	What new forces and inspiration will it need?
14299	What shall I say if you do not return?"
14299	Where are our cattle?''
14299	Who shall chastise them?
14299	Why is this?
14299	Why should we do so when the Boers do n''t?''
14299	Will Britain flinch or falter in her world- wide task?
14299	With what result?
14299	does he not suffer when his parents are shot, or his children stolen, or when he is driven a wanderer from his home?
14299	hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?''
14299	the Peace on Earth, which He alone can bring about?
14299	what is your response to the words that you have heard?"
14299	yes, certainty, why not?''
32934	And do they do that?
32934	And do you think that there will be any fighting, father?
32934	And do you think, father, that they will push on for Ulundi when they have rescued the garrison of Ekowe?
32934	And now what is the news in the colony?
32934	Are their skins worth anything?
32934	Are they round you still?
32934	Are you all right?
32934	Are you not ashamed of yourselves?
32934	But how have they found out what is being done at Ekowe, if the first week only one messenger got through out of twelve?
32934	But surely the lions would never venture to attack so large a party?
32934	But which is our road?
32934	Can they be alive down there?
32934	Did you kill it, sir, do you think?
32934	Do the hens sit on their eggs, as ordinary hens?
32934	Do you know where we are, Tom?
32934	Do you think Mr Harvey will bring the whole caravan?
32934	Do you think that those below were caught, as well as those above?
32934	Do you think there is any chance of their attacking us to- night, down the slopes, as they did this morning?
32934	Get through those stupid Boers? 32934 Have you been paid for the waggons, father?"
32934	How did you see the fight?
32934	How is it that a fly can kill a horse? 32934 How is it,"he asked,"that your people do not bring in their goods for sale?
32934	How many feathers can be plucked from each bird a year?
32934	How much are each of those feathers worth?
32934	I suppose there was a great fright in the colony after the defeat?
32934	I suppose they could not be kept in England?
32934	I suppose,Mrs Humphreys said to her husband one evening,"you mean to make cattle- raising your principal point?"
32934	I think your plan is a very good one, Blacking; but do you think that you can get through?
32934	Is it a common thing, caravans being attacked by lions?
32934	Is it a serious wound?
32934	Is it found only in the south of Africa?
32934	Is the skin valuable?
32934	It feels warmer than it did,he went on, after a pause of half an hour;"do n''t you think so, Tom?"
32934	Lions are very abundant in some parts of the interior, are they not, Mr Harvey?
32934	Now, boys, where are they?
32934	Oh, father, if you hire the waggons to government, may I go with them? 32934 Shall I go with you, sir?"
32934	So you are not contented to stop at home, Dick,Mrs Jackson said,"and you want to take Tom rambling away with you again?
32934	That is bad,the chief said;"how does my friend, the white trader, know that they were my men?"
32934	Things look very bad, Dick,Tom said;"what do you think we had better do?"
32934	Well, I am very glad they are not,Dick said;"but what is to be done?"
32934	Well, what of that?
32934	Well, why do n''t you send your son, here, with the waggon?
32934	What are flashing signals, father?
32934	What are we to do in the morning, Dick?
32934	What are you good for?
32934	What can it be?
32934	What do you say, Tony?--shall we get up and follow in a body slowly?
32934	What do you think of affairs?
32934	What do you think of your log now?
32934	What do you want?
32934	What is it? 32934 What is that?"
32934	What is that?
32934	What is the matter?
32934	What is the value of an ostrich?
32934	What on earth are they going to do?
32934	What on earth are you doing, Jumbo?
32934	What on earth is it all about?
32934	What shall we do, then?
32934	What will they do next?
32934	What will they do now?
32934	Whatever shall we do, Dick?
32934	Where are they taking us now, I wonder?
32934	Where do they get water out here in the desert?
32934	Which do they seem to prefer,one of the officers asked,"human beings or cattle?"
32934	Which side is the door,Mr Humphreys asked,"so that we can dig that way?"
32934	Who is Secoceni, father?
32934	Why, what would they say at home? 32934 Will they come up here, do you think, Dick?"
32934	Yes,Mr Harvey said;"but you see up there?"
32934	A large number are required; I was thinking of sending down my two teams-- what do you think?"
32934	Dick said;"where could these people have got the money to buy them?"
32934	Dick, are you awake?"
32934	Do n''t you remember in that valley there were a lot of sheep in a fold, with a wall round it?
32934	Have you any authority from your fathers, to whom, I suppose, the teams belong, to sign the contracts for them?"
32934	How can they be alive after five days, twenty feet deep in the snow?
32934	I seem to have been asleep a long time, and do n''t my bones just ache?
32934	I suppose your boy will want to go if mine does?"
32934	If she remains in this country she may not live many months; your only hope is to take her abroad-- could you do that?"
32934	If you are challenged,` Who comes there?''
32934	Is he much hurt, sir?"
32934	It was a near squeak, was n''t it?
32934	Jimmy, old boy, are you all right?"
32934	Now, Humphreys, why do n''t you join me?
32934	Once for all, will you surrender?"
32934	Put your hand up, Tom; do n''t you feel some of these sticks are bent in the middle?"
32934	Surely he must have heard the guns?
32934	What are they doing?"
32934	What are we to do, Dick; shall we try and dig a way out?"
32934	What are you doing, James?"
32934	What are you thinking about?
32934	What are you thinking of doing, sir?"
32934	What do you think of that place ahead?"
32934	What do you think, Jackson?
32934	What is the matter with you, James; what are you blubbering about?"
32934	What on earth are we to do?"
32934	Where would you advise?"
32934	Which way shall we turn, left or right?"
32934	Will you go with us?"
32934	Would it not just be jolly to find a diamond as big as a pigeon''s egg and worth about twenty thousand pounds?"
32934	You hear him, sir?"
32934	do n''t you see something projecting above the water on the other side of the pool?"
32934	he asked;"what do you carry your arms for, if you are afraid to use them?
32934	he exclaimed,"where are we?
32934	he shouted;"is any one below?"
36951	Aim low, as well?
36951	And he hung on and fought him, did n''t he?
36951	And the Old Crocodile flung him high into the air? 36951 Be quiet, will you?"
36951	But how could you bear to part with him, Joey? 36951 Did a white man come here on horseback during the last few days from the Drift?"
36951	Did you see?
36951	Game you mean?
36951	Have you heard if Jim reached Durban all right?
36951	Is he here now?
36951	Is it as I told you? 36951 Is that how it''s going?"
36951	No-- seriously-- what is the best way of tackling one?
36951	On foot?
36951	There it is, what are you going to do?
36951	They must be there; they ca n''t have got away?
36951	Velapi, Umganaam?
36951	Was Jim here to- day?
36951	Were you...?
36951	What about feeding?
36951	What am I?
36951	What is it, Jess, old girl?
36951	What is it?
36951	What the dickens is Buggins doing?
36951	What''s the best thing to do following up a wounded buffalo?
36951	What''s the matter?
36951	What''s up, sportsman?
36951	Where are the dogs?
36951	Where did you get it?
36951	Where is my place?
36951	Yes, but if there is n''t time?
36951	You do n''t believe in luck at all, Rocky?
36951	You got some one to take him right through?
36951	You know about him, Tom?
36951	You mean it magnifies them?
36951	( Where do you come from, friend?)
36951	A bit idealised?
36951	And Jock?
36951	And was there no one who doubted Du Chaillu and Stanley and others?
36951	And what can they see from there?
36951	And, if so, was he following the scent of the old chase or merely what he might remember of the way he had gone?
36951	Bit risky, eh?"
36951	But these things were forgotten then-- lost behind the everlasting puzzle, How was it possible I had not seen the buck until it fell?
36951	But was it only the impala?
36951	But who can say if it be indifference or fatalism or the most astute diplomacy?
36951	But who can say which of the many beautiful antelopes is the most beautiful?
36951	Ca n''t you see he''s finished?"
36951	Did he toss you?"
36951	Did he understand that it was not fresh game but the wounded koodoo that I wanted?
36951	Did no one question Gordon Cumming''s story of the herd of elephants caught and killed in a little kloof?
36951	Had he followed up to attack us?
36951	Have you had it long?"
36951	How did he know they were there, and which way they would go, and know it all so promptly?
36951	How high are they?
36951	How was it possible to pass Cigarette Kopje and not recognise it, for I must have gone within fifty yards or less of it?
36951	How, you will ask, can a man imagine impossible to cross a big dusty road twenty or thirty feet wide without seeing it?
36951	I saw him give one quick look my way and heard him say sharply to the others,"Where is the dog?
36951	If Jess had seen Jock bursting to fight the table- leg would she have seen the joke?
36951	If you can not understand a man thinking he had done such a thing, what can you say of a man actually doing it?
36951	Is he still such a fool, or has he improved any with you?"
36951	Is it just?"
36951	Jim?
36951	Jimmy got up and, stepping out into the open beside the waggon, called,"Say, Buggins, what in thunder_ are_ you doing?"
36951	Now is there anything else you can think of?"
36951	Of course, that''s how you got him, is n''t it: caught him in a river?
36951	On his side, too, there may or may not have been design in backing towards the tree; who knows?
36951	Open flats brings''em closer; and''cross water or a gully seems like you kin put yer hand on''em?"
36951	Or had he broken away into the bush on finding himself headed off?
36951	Or was there something subtle, more?
36951	Seedling was mad with rage; for who had ever heard of a nigger standing up to a Field Cornet?
36951	Still, there were other chances; and I thought of very little else all day long, wondering if any of the good ones would be left; and if so, which?
36951	The old farmer stopped in his walk, gave him one suspicious look, and asked coldly,"What do they do when a calf is killed or dies?"
36951	Then Robbie asked:"Going to make a move, Rocky?"
36951	Then when had the hyenas and wild dogs come?
36951	Twig?
36951	Was he waiting somewhere near?
36951	Was it horn, hoof, tooth, or-- what?
36951	Was it luck?
36951	Was it memory or imagination?
36951	Was it only a temporary swerve?
36951	Was it then all imagination about having been there before?
36951	We had told many stories illustrating this, when my friend asked the question:"Have dogs a sense of humour?"
36951	Were the prizes so few in the prospector''s life?
36951	What did I tell you?"
36951	What did it matter to me that we were soaked through in ten minutes?
36951	What did it?
36951	What had he done?
36951	What had he made of it?
36951	What is there to tell of that day?
36951	What matter?
36951	What more could one want?
36951	What on earth did it mean?
36951	What on earth was wrong?
36951	What the Hex are you up to?"
36951	What then was the meaning of it?
36951	What was it?"
36951	What would the counsels of Solomon himself have weighed against that wet skin?
36951	What''s the truth of it?
36951	Where is Jock?"
36951	Who can know?
36951	Who could say how much was fact, how much fancy, and how much the superstitions of his race?
36951	Who knows what they think, or dream, or hope, or suffer?
36951	Who knows?
36951	Who would fight with his back to you?"
36951	Who, then, would be so mad as to think of such a thing?
36951	Why had he not achieved success?
36951	Why should one walk in circles instead of taking a fairly straight line?
36951	Would it not have been better for him-- happier for me?
36951	You know him?
36951	and did not we of Barberton many years later locate the spot by the enormous pile of bones, and name it"Elephants''Kloof?"
36951	and, turning to the two juniors, added"quite as high as the house?"
36951	of course--_if you can_?"
36951	or had the hyenas and wild dogs followed up the trail, as they so often do, and did Jock have to fight his way through them too?
36951	or was there something wanting in him too?
36951	the chap you''re after, is n''t it?"
36951	was what the first look seemed to say; and the second:"Well, what are you waiting for?"
16494	''"Sir Hercules Robinson: I presume you will not object to that continuing?
16494	''Now,''asked His Honour triumphantly,''can you contradict that?
16494	''Then,''said his British friend,''what is influence worth if it can not be used for good?
16494	''Why should they be debarred from learning to read and write?
16494	*******''Complain to other Powers, and seek justice there?
16494	*******''Do you know what has recently happened in Turkey?
16494	*******''Whence has arisen that urgency to make an appeal for interference elsewhere?
16494	A member of the deputation said,''Surely, if we take the oath of allegiance, you will trust us?''
16494	Advocate: Do you deny that you gave any indication or opinion as to what ought to be done with these men?
16494	Advocate: Do you positively swear that Commandant Cronjé specified the sentence of twenty- five lashes each?
16494	Advocate: He had every opportunity of knowing what took place and what was said?
16494	Advocate: He was present throughout the whole proceeding?
16494	Advocate: Well, Mr. Cronjé, I want to know which of you two the Court is to believe, you or Commandant Trichard?
16494	Again I ask what account is to be given to our descendants and what can be our hope in the future?
16494	And as there can only be schools if they are brought together in villages, why should they not be collected together?''
16494	And besides who would benefit?
16494	And if this is done to an empire, will a little republic be excused when it misbehaves?
16494	And why should they want more power here all at once?
16494	And why should they worry and weary the burghers once more by asking them to decide upon Mr. Meyer''s motion?
16494	And would this be so miserable?
16494	Are these things necessary or are they calculated to irritate the feeling to breaking point?
16494	But as a matter of form you did not hear any evidence on her behalf?
16494	But at whose expense was this noble and generous act carried out?
16494	But can we be surprised if they hesitate to do so?
16494	But when we look to the debates of the last few years, what do we find?
16494	But whence this weakness?
16494	By whom should the waste places of the land, the vast areas which were without other occupants than a few roving Bushmen, be peopled?
16494	Can it be said that Mr. Kruger and his colleagues contemplated it or would have dared to avow the intention if it were ever entertained?
16494	Can there be said to be influence when it can not be used at all?''
16494	Can they gather any hope from that?
16494	Cronjé then replied,''Then I must believe you upon your word that you have no flag?''
16494	Did he want help?
16494	Did it mean to send a force out?
16494	Did you not guess at all?''
16494	Do you approve?
16494	Do you positively deny that you said anything about twenty- five lashes?
16494	Dr. Coster then altered his tactics and asked,''Had you no opinions on the subject?
16494	Dr. Jameson made no comment further than to say,''It is too late now,''and then asked the question,''Where are the troops?''
16494	Gentlemen, I am anxiously groping for the light; but what, in the face of this, am I to advise my people?
16494	Has that appeal been made only by enemies of the State?
16494	He asked,''What is up here?
16494	He got no further however than saying to the witness,''You said you were a member of the Government Commission?''
16494	How then could these petitioners have disobeyed it?
16494	I have stated plainly what our grievances are, and I shall answer with equal directness the question,''What do we want?''
16494	Is it not probable that the deleted figures''2,000''in Colonel Rhodes''letter( see photograph) may account for some of the talk about 2,000 armed men?
16494	Is it surprising that people should want to know why?
16494	Is it then possible?
16494	Is it true?
16494	Is that fact alone not sufficient to warn us and to prove how unstatesmanlike our policy is?
16494	Is that so?
16494	Is there one man in this Raad who would accept the franchise on the same terms?
16494	Is this so?
16494	It is asked, What have they got to do with our position?
16494	Judge: His letter of complaint to you seemed sufficient?
16494	Judge: No answer, Mr. Cronjé?
16494	Judge: Then you merely gave these natives the right to appeal against the sentence of lashes after they should have received the lashes?
16494	Judge: You brought no evidence against her?
16494	Judge: You did not call upon Schoeman to produce any evidence against her?
16494	Judge: You did not give her any opportunity to bring evidence?
16494	Judge: You did not tell these officials to stay execution?
16494	Mr. JEPPE, in the course of his speech, said: Who are the people who now demand from us a reasonable extension of the franchise?
16494	Mr. WESSELS cross- examined the witness upon this point as follows:-- Advocate: I believe Commandant Trichard accompanied you on this commission?
16494	Mr. Wessels did not lose his opportunity,''You have stated,''he said,''that you are a Judge of the High Court?''
16494	Now, Mr. Cronjé, did you notify Erasmus and Schoeman that they should stay execution of the sentence pending the hearing of any appeal?
16494	Now, tell me in a word, Is there any one thing that you require more than anything else, which we can help you to get?''
16494	Old as the world is, has an attempt like ours ever succeeded for long?
16494	Shall we convert them into friends or shall we send them away empty, dissatisfied, embittered?
16494	Shall we say as a French king did that things will last our time, and after that we reck not the deluge?
16494	The CHAIRMAN: Will you keep order?
16494	The President answered merely by the question:''If a crisis should occur, on which side shall I find the Americans?''
16494	The influence of advice has failed, dare you try the influence of repudiation?''
16494	The only drawback to our profound intellectual delight in the parable is the question,''Who will be the tortoise?''
16494	The prohibiting of public meetings is''quite wrong, of course, but can you wonder at it?''
16494	There now remains the question which is to be put before you at the meeting of the 6th January, viz., How shall we get it?
16494	Thereupon Cronjé said to Jameson,''I understand that you and your men will surrender yourselves with your flag and everything you possess?''
16494	They were the persons, the millionaires side by side with mining workers whom Mr. Jeppe spoke of, but where did they find these people side by side?
16494	This did not satisfy Dr. Coster, who then pressed the question,''Well, what did you think?
16494	This was a Dutch country, with Dutch laws, and why should they be asked to exchange the Dutch language for the English?
16494	To the suggestion,''Then why not say so publicly?''
16494	Was it because they were deformed?
16494	We have now only two questions to consider:_( a)_ What do we want?
16494	Well, Jorissen is done for; Nellmapius is dead; Leyds is in Europe-- who is it now?''
16494	Were they on the same footing as citizens of the Transvaal?
16494	Were they serfs or subjects?
16494	What do you mean by"John Bull"?''
16494	What do you_ write_ things to me for?
16494	What had the English done for the country that this should be asked?
16494	What has happened?
16494	What is an olive branch?''
16494	What is it I am to advise the people of Johannesburg?
16494	What is it about South Africa, one asks, that has upset so many men of capacity and experience?
16494	What necessity is there for forts in peaceful inland towns?
16494	What was the cause of all this commotion?
16494	What was the consequence?
16494	What was the result?
16494	What we have to consider is, What will be the condition of things here in the event of a conflict?
16494	What were they clamouring for?
16494	What were your thoughts?''
16494	What will our answer be?
16494	What will we do with them now?
16494	What would they have been under the old conditions?
16494	Who can say?
16494	Who were they?
16494	Why do n''t you_ speak_ so that one can understand?''
16494	Why not the poor as well as the rich, if that were the case?
16494	Why should they permit people to mock at the Almighty in this manner?
16494	Why then does he not support Mr. Meyer''s proposal, which affects naturalized people only?
16494	You heard evidence neither for nor against them, but you handed them over to-- to whom, Mr. Cronjé?
16494	_( b)_ how shall we get it?
16494	because they were too few and too insignificant to occupy the country?
16494	because they were worse than other people?
16494	to which Mr. Lace replied,''What troops do you mean?
16494	what is the good of protesting?
16494	{ 17} The story is told of two up- country Boers who applied to the President for appointments, and received the reply,''What_ can_ I do for you?
14426	''And Ladysmith?''
14426	''And how many Boers are killed?''
14426	''And you find the soldiers brave?''
14426	''And you?''
14426	''Are not our farms our own?
14426	''But what about the other commando that came up the next day?''
14426	''But why,''we asked,''should they shell Colenso?''
14426	''Can any soldiers bear that long?
14426	''Cease fire-- cease fire there, will you?''
14426	''Did n''t you think we should get through?''
14426	''Do n''t you find the rates very high?''
14426	''Do n''t you know that the gold mines are the property of the shareholders, many of whom are foreigners-- Frenchman and Germans and others?
14426	''Do n''t you think it wicked to try to steal our country?''
14426	''Do these shells catch anyone?''
14426	''Do you know any names of killed in the Leicesters?''
14426	''Do you really mean to say that we forced this war on you, that you did not want to fight us?''
14426	''Do you suppose I should get such wages under the English Government?''
14426	''Does Cape Colony?''
14426	''Good afternoon, my man,''he said in his most nervous, apologetic voice;''what are you doing here?''
14426	''Halt, who goes there?''
14426	''How can I help it?
14426	''How do you mean"not free"?''
14426	''How far?''
14426	''How many?''
14426	''How many?''
14426	''How old are you?''
14426	''How will you like a new one-- with the Queen''s head on it?''
14426	''Is there going to be much more war?''
14426	''May n''t we even blow up this lot?''
14426	''Oh, that''s all right; good show, was n''t it?
14426	''Out of a thousand?''
14426	''So now you fight against your country?''
14426	''Tell us about the losses-- who are killed and wounded?''
14426	''That''s not a Dutch name?''
14426	''Then why did you make every preparation-- turn the Republics into armed camps-- prepare deep- laid plans for the invasion of our Colonies?''
14426	''Then why do you go and fight against the British?''
14426	''There''s a poor boy dying up there-- only a boy, and so cold-- who''s got a blanket?''
14426	''Well, is it right that a dirty Kaffir should walk on the pavement-- without a pass too?
14426	''Well, now, you send a good deal of your produce by rail, I suppose?''
14426	''Well, what about that ironclad?''
14426	''Well, why should you come and invade our country?''
14426	''What about Ladysmith?''
14426	''What are we fighting for then?''
14426	''What did you lose in the action?''
14426	''What does he say?''
14426	''What''s to be done, sir?''
14426	''What''s your name?''
14426	''When is Buller coming?''
14426	''Where does the money come from?''
14426	''Where is Buller?''
14426	''Where is the"reporter,"with whom we talked last evening?''
14426	''Where, on the left of Railway Hill?''
14426	''Who can tell?''
14426	''Why should they be a cause of war?
14426	''Why should you English take this country away from us?''
14426	''Why, what could we do after the Jameson Raid?
14426	''Will you have some cigarettes?''
14426	''Will you kindly tell us all about who you are?''
14426	''Will you tell us why there is this war?''
14426	''Yes, but what I want to know is this, did they get into them with the bayonet?''
14426	''You are the son of Lord Randolph Churchill?''
14426	''You never wanted war?''
14426	''Your country?
14426	After all, what use could I find for a hat, when there were plenty of helmets to spare if I wanted to Walk in the courtyard?
14426	After this who will dare call Outlanders cowards?
14426	Again, why not?
14426	All cares-- for who can be worried about the little matters of humdrum life when he may be dead before the night?
14426	Another bayonet attack by the garrison?
14426	Are they sending the cavalry over?
14426	Are we going to be exchanged?''
14426	Besides, do you think the European Powers will allow you to bully us?''
14426	Brooke greeted him and asked,''Bone?''
14426	Can the position be turned?
14426	Can you get back again?''
14426	Do n''t you call that cruel?''
14426	Do n''t you have to obey your orders?''
14426	Do you think we would fight Great Britain for amusement?''
14426	Evidently a shell had passed a few feet over our heads, but was it from our guns shelling the hills in front, or from the enemy?
14426	He raised his voice,''Ladysmith hold out a month?
14426	How are you?
14426	How did we know?
14426	How long can they hold out?
14426	How long would the English go on fighting?
14426	How many more letters shall I write you from an unsatisfactory address?
14426	How much longer would the heroic garrison be persecuted?
14426	How should it befall a man who died in a quarrel he did not understand?
14426	How, then, could the Boers obtain the necessary time to reduce it?
14426	I expect there will be some who will inquire--''Why not"at first"?''
14426	I said,''Surely you do n''t think you will win this war?''
14426	I said,''Why bully if you are so strong?''
14426	I said,''Will Methuen get to Kimberley?''
14426	I said,''You have not been at the front yet?''
14426	I said:''What about Methuen?
14426	Insist on their proper treatment will you?
14426	Is a flank attack possible?
14426	Is he, therefore, justified in running the greatest risks?
14426	Monotony is the characteristic of a modern voyage, and who shall describe it?
14426	My companion regarded these steadfastly, then he said:''Why do they all look so pleased?''
14426	Nothing more than a soldier should always expect; but what of the position?
14426	Now, what is the situation which confronts the General and the army?
14426	On the other hand, how can we let Ladysmith and all its gallant defenders fall into the hands of the enemy?
14426	She signalled again:''What won the Cesarewitch?''
14426	Should I continue to fly?
14426	Something big happening at Ladysmith-- hell of a cannonade-- never heard anything like it-- worse than Colenso-- what do you think of it?
14426	Such was the order; and is not offence the surest defence?
14426	Suppose they missed me?
14426	The Australians asked questions:''Is Sir Redvers Buller on board?''
14426	The abandoned colonist, the shamed soldier, the''cowardly Englishman,''the white flag, the''How about Majuba?''
14426	The group passed by, and the last thing I heard was,''How much of the artillery has crossed?
14426	The last cry of''Any more for the shore?''
14426	The question now arose-- Where should the river be crossed?
14426	The questions were, could guns be brought up the hill; and, if so, could the troops maintain themselves?
14426	They might scour the country; but would they search the shed?
14426	To be killed by bombshells?
14426	To blockade Ladysmith?
14426	Was it not God''s hand that stopped them?
14426	Was it on the Delagoa Bay line?
14426	Was it the line to Delagoa Bay or the Pietersburg branch?
14426	Were they going to lose the day for us when it was already won?
14426	What about our Government?''
14426	What are my wages?''
14426	What are those terms?
14426	What can the wide world give him in exchange?
14426	What did he think?
14426	What did they think he was paid for?
14426	What did we think of South Africa?
14426	What do they mean by harassing us?''
14426	What do we care for that?
14426	What do you think?
14426	What does it mean-- this scrap of intelligence which tells so much and leaves so much untold?
14426	What hope have you of withstanding a hundred thousand soldiers?''
14426	What if we should break through, only to have the door shut behind us?
14426	What is the true and original root of Dutch aversion to British rule?
14426	What on earth could this be?
14426	What part were the cavalry to play?
14426	What should I do in the morning?
14426	What the deuce is this?
14426	What then?
14426	What train should I take?
14426	What was happening eighteen miles away over the hills?
14426	What was happening?
14426	What was happening?
14426	What was it all for?
14426	What was the good of human effort?
14426	What was their design?
14426	What will Sir Redvers Buller do?
14426	What will come of it all?''
14426	What''s the latest news of Buller''s advance?
14426	When would the war end?
14426	Where did they catch you?
14426	Where was my comrade?
14426	Where was the train going to?
14426	Where would it be unloaded?
14426	Where, then, was the need of caution?
14426	Wherefore was this miserable land of stone and scrub created?
14426	Whither?
14426	Why are men''s wounded souls left to the care of a village practitioner?''
14426	Why are they wasting time now?
14426	Why did they declare war if they had nothing up their sleeves?
14426	Why is there this war?''
14426	Why must we fight for them?''
14426	Why not lie buried underneath this litter until prisoners and escort had marched away together?
14426	Why not seize the heights above Potgieter''s?
14426	Why, then, had he neglected this obvious precaution?
14426	Why, then, had they abandoned it to a parcel of horsemen without a shot fired?
14426	Why?
14426	Why?''
14426	Worst of all, I could not speak a word of Dutch or Kaffir, and how was I to get food or direction?
14426	Would it be searched?
14426	Would they count?
14426	Would they notice?
14426	Would we like to go in an armoured train again?
14426	Yet if he has found the account of a dull voyage dull, he should not complain; for is not that successful realism?
14426	Your artillery?
18794	A previous speaker has referred to the help of the Lord, but who is able to fathom His counsels? 18794 And ought we not to be convinced that independence is now irretrievably lost?
18794	Are you General De Wet?
18794	Are you afraid of things like that?
18794	Are you mad? 18794 But are we really justified in prolonging the struggle, and making still further sacrifices?
18794	But has nobody on horseback crossed here?
18794	But where is your gun?
18794	Do baboons walk across?
18794	Do you mean to tell me,he asked,"that you are going to give the English a free hand, whilst your men take their holidays?"
18794	Do you want more of my reasons? 18794 General, when shall we come to the blockhouses?"
18794	Has a man never ridden across here?
18794	Have we not arrived at the stage of our history when we must pray,''Thy will be done''? 18794 How is it,"they would ask,"that we are not now free men?
18794	Is that satisfactory?
18794	It will be asked why, if we have kept up the struggle for two years and a half, can we not still continue to do so? 18794 Let every one consider this well: Is he prepared to sacrifice the nation on the shrine of his own ambition?
18794	The question still remains, What are we to do? 18794 The sacrifice must be made; is not this also a trial of our faith?
18794	There has been talk about fighting to the bitter end; but has not the bitter end already come? 18794 Those who wish to continue the war are influenced chiefly by hope; but on what is this hope founded?
18794	What can be the meaning of this?
18794	What do you mean by riding ahead like this?
18794	What is there left to hope for? 18794 What was he like?"
18794	What, then, is the prevailing feeling in the Orange Free State? 18794 Where is Veldtcornet--?"
18794	Will you give us your word of honour,he asked me when he caught sight of the gun,"not to stir from your position till we have got ten miles away?
18794	A year ago both parties had been inspired by faith, but what had been the result?
18794	Again, could the war be continued when their commandos were so much weakened, and when food was so scarce?
18794	And critical our condition certainly is; so that I am not surprised that some of us are asking,''What hope have we now in continuing the struggle?''
18794	And has this brought us independence?
18794	And how can we expect those not their own kith and kin to be willing to give up liberty for their sakes?
18794	And how could it be otherwise?
18794	And how do you imagine that this arrangement could be carried on?"
18794	And should the commandos in time become so weak as to be forced to surrender unconditionally, what then would be the fate of the officers?
18794	And the Boer women-- did they lose courage with this before their eyes?
18794	And the abandoned tracts-- to whom will they belong?
18794	And to the families in the camps?
18794	And we?
18794	And what could they hope to gain by continuing the struggle?
18794	And what did that messenger say?
18794	And what does the voice of reason say?
18794	And what real advantage had accrued from his successes in the veldt?
18794	And why?
18794	And why?
18794	Are our affairs darker now?
18794	Are we going to say,''We will continue the struggle and leave these districts to their fate''?
18794	Are we not to desist until every man of us is in captivity, in exile, or in his grave?
18794	Are we to continue the war?
18794	Are we to retain our independence by ceding a part of our territories?
18794	Are you satisfied with this?"
18794	At length the moment of decision came, and what course remained open to us?
18794	At the same time they said,''We are anxious for peace; will you make other proposals?''
18794	Breijtenbach( Utrecht) urged that a definite yes or no must be given to the question, Is the war to continue?
18794	But I would ask another question:''What hope had we at the beginning of the war?''
18794	But am I only to consider myself?
18794	But could not the delegates continue to stand by one another, and make a covenant with the Lord?
18794	But how are we to do so?
18794	But how could it have been otherwise?
18794	But how is it now with us?
18794	But how shall we negotiate?
18794	But how?
18794	But if we go on with the war until we are forced to surrender, who will then take care of them?
18794	But the question for us to answer is this: Are we going forwards or backwards?
18794	But was it not, perhaps, prompted by a desire to make a fine speech, which would go down to posterity?
18794	But what did I hear?
18794	But what did it matter?
18794	But what grounds for hope were there when the war began?
18794	But what happened?
18794	But what happened?
18794	But what is''the bitter end''?
18794	But what really happened?
18794	But what tangible reason for hope was there at the beginning of the war?
18794	But what was faith?
18794	But what were the arguments against going on with the war?
18794	But what were we to do now?
18794	But why were they of this mind?
18794	But would that be possible?
18794	But, as it was, the burghers kept on asking:"Where shall I put this rifle, General?
18794	By what right do you usurp that title?
18794	CHAPTER XXVII Was Ours a Guerilla War?
18794	Can it be right to sacrifice a nation which has fought as the African nation has done?"
18794	Can we become faithless to the hundreds of killed and prisoners, who, trusting in our firmness, offered their lives and freedom for the fatherland?
18794	Can we now-- when it is merely a question of banishment-- shrink from our duty?
18794	Can you not see that the whole course of events was a miracle from beginning to end?
18794	Commandant- General Botha:"Am I to understand that you mean that we are getting away from the point in discussion?"
18794	Commandant- General Botha:"Are we to understand that our proposal is now altogether rejected?"
18794	Commandant- General Botha:"Then I understand that you are going to be guided only by the Middelburg proposals?"
18794	Commandant- General Botha:"Will not a Dutch translation be annexed?"
18794	Could England then be considered to be annexed by the other nation, and could the enemy term the English"Guerillas"?
18794	Could any one ever have thought before the war that the twentieth century could show such barbarities?
18794	Could that be called encouragement?
18794	Cronje''s pitiable condition confronted us, and we had but one thought-- could we relieve him?
18794	Did I call myself a man?
18794	Did it not realize that if the case of the Republic was hopeless in Europe the deputation would send word to that effect?
18794	Did the money they brought ever do us any good?
18794	Does it not show that He is minded to form us, by this war, into a nation worthy of the name?
18794	Does not this prove that no other Government is willing to receive it?
18794	For how could our diminutive army hope to stand against the overwhelming numbers at the enemy''s command?
18794	For instance, if you come to the conclusion that we have exhausted every expedient, will you still continue the struggle?
18794	For ten or twelve years?
18794	For what has the gold done for us?
18794	For what nation exists, or has existed, which has not a historical record whether to its advantage or to its disadvantage?
18794	From which side should the attack take place?
18794	General Smuts:"Is it your opinion that our proposal must be set aside?"
18794	Had I then to go on from commando to commando, to undergo everywhere the martyrdom of beholding ceaseless surrenders?
18794	Had the meeting lost its confidence in that deputation?
18794	Have we not also one- third of our army left?
18794	He had consulted his burghers and their women- folk; he had asked them,"What conditions of peace will you accept?"
18794	How am I to explain the inexplicable?
18794	How are we to transport it from one district to another?
18794	How can I describe my feelings when I saw Bloemfontein in the hands of the English?
18794	How could we have endured it?"
18794	How did he use it?
18794	How do matters stand now?
18794	How many are there now?
18794	How was it to be explained that two hundred and forty thousand troops had failed to exterminate two small Republics?
18794	How would the delegates face their families on their return, after the sacrifice of independence?
18794	How would they be able to meet their burghers with such an answer as that?
18794	How, then, could we think of making a stand, with our tiny forces, against two hundred and forty thousand men, with three or four hundred guns?
18794	I asked myself, and if so, why did I run away?
18794	I heard burghers muttering:--"Suppose the enemy should aim those guns at us-- what will become of us then?
18794	I pitied the poor"Tommies,"but what else could I do but order them to march with me?
18794	I therefore ask, Is the difference so great that, in order for England to obtain her object, an entirely new status must be called into existence?"
18794	I thought at first that it was only some cattle being shot for food, but all at once there were more shots, and what did we see?
18794	I will answer this question by another-- who first broke the terms of this oath?--the burghers or the English military authorities?
18794	If in two years we have been reduced from sixty thousand fighting men to half that number, where will our army be after another ten years of war?
18794	If such has been the history of the past year, in what sort of condition shall we be at the end of the present one?
18794	If the famous Cronje were captured, how could any ordinary burgher be expected to continue his resistance?
18794	If the_ whole_ becomes annexed by us, how then can a_ part_ be ceded by you?"
18794	If there is not a great deal going on in Europe which England wants to hide from us, why is she so careful not to let us see European journals?
18794	If they had trusted in God at the beginning, why did they not continue to trust in Him?
18794	If we reject this proposal, what prospects have we in the future?
18794	If_ we_ are united, then will the nation be united also; but if we are divided, in what a plight will the nation find itself?"
18794	In the second place, he would ask how it was they had not been allowed to meet their deputation?
18794	In what position do you think you are placing Lord Kitchener and myself?
18794	Is it not my first duty to look at the interests of my nation?
18794	Is it possible?
18794	Is it to come when all of us are either banished or in our graves?
18794	Is not a loss such as this, in so short a time as two and a half years, a serious matter?
18794	Is not this the bitter end?
18794	Is there no sound of approaching footsteps?
18794	It is not too late to save it now, but who can tell what the future holds in store for us?
18794	It is possible that a war may arise in Europe from which we shall gain something, but what right have we to expect such a contingency?
18794	It may be asked, however, why the deputation did not send a report of its own?
18794	It might become necessary for the commandos to leave the district, and if so, what was to become of the families?
18794	It was necessary to act-- but how?
18794	It was there that General Piet de Wet came to me and asked if I still saw any chance of being able to continue the struggle?
18794	It was, however, very tedious work, for how could any of us be sure that we were not placing the after- oxen in front and the fore- oxen behind?
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Am I to understand by this that it is an unlimited amount, or does it come within the amount decided on by the Volksraad?"
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Are you prepared to set aside your present proposal and to hand in another one bearing a closer resemblance to that of Middelburg?
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Do you accept the annexation?"
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Do you mean by your proposal that the Boers will become British citizens?"
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Is it necessary to make a proposal about this?"
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Is this the only point you wish to bring forward, or are there others in addition?"
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Well, would two or three million be sufficient?
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Will you then consider yourselves British subjects?
18794	Lord Kitchener:"Would that meet your difficulty?"
18794	Lord Milner:"Are we to understand that the Middelburg proposals are not according to the mind of your people?"
18794	Lord Milner:"Do you wish us to refer your proposals to His Majesty''s Government?"
18794	Lord Milner:"What is the good then?"
18794	Lord Milner:"What is the next point you wish to raise?
18794	Lord Milner:"You mean that one part would become a British Colony of the ordinary type, and another part a protected Republic?"
18794	Meanwhile our friends(?)
18794	Men as lovable or as valiant there might be, but where should I find a man who combined so many virtues and good qualities in one person?
18794	Mr. De Clercq then addressed the meeting in the following words:"The question before us is, whether or not the war can be continued?
18794	Must they still continue to shed blood?
18794	Must we then not ask ourselves, What will be the best for the nation as a whole?
18794	Nearly all with one accord sprang up and asked,"Who are you?"
18794	Need I say that these men had to be captured?
18794	Now, supposing that we can hold out another year, what should we gain by doing so?
18794	On all sides one heard the question,"Where are we really going?
18794	On intervention?
18794	On our arms?
18794	On what then?
18794	One must ask: If the nation were here, what would it wish to be done?
18794	Or can we lose faith in a just God, who has so wonderfully upheld us till now?
18794	Or does it mean the time when the nation has fought until it never can fight again?
18794	Or if we were all killed, what could we do for them?
18794	Or that, if the war were to be continued, the people would gain any advantage which that proposal did not give them?
18794	Rather, will it not enable the enemy to concentrate still more?
18794	Shall such a nation perish?
18794	Shall we make a new proposal?"
18794	Shall we say continue the war, or shall we approach the enemy and make a proposal?
18794	Should they then continue the war?
18794	Should we serve their interests by continuing the war?
18794	Some asked what were the chances of success?
18794	Some of the delegates set their hopes on the European deputation, but what did that deputation say a year ago?
18794	Some will reply,''Go on with the war,''Yes, but for how long?
18794	The President concluded this very remarkable and powerful letter with the question:--"Are we again to leave the Colonial burghers in the lurch?
18794	The burghers could not understand this, and began to grumble about it-- what could their General mean?
18794	The district would have to be abandoned, and what would then be the fate of the families, which even now could only be scantily provided for?
18794	The military authorities without any doubt; what other answer can one give?
18794	The question now is, Is there anything further that we can do?
18794	The question was,"Which way shall we go?"
18794	The reader, perusing them, may well pause in surprise and cry out,"Can such things be possible?"
18794	There were a large number of burghers in the veldt to continue the war-- what has become of our independence?"
18794	To flee-- what could be more bitter than that?
18794	To the question, What probability was there of their being able to continue the struggle?
18794	WAS OURS A GUERILLA WAR?
18794	Was it possible for one part of the nation to continue fighting without the other?
18794	Was it that our Governments relied on foreign intervention?
18794	Was not the aim in some cases that future generations might recall these speeches when they were told of the brave fight our men had made?
18794	Was nothing on this earth then solid or lasting?
18794	We are told that there is food here, and food there; but how are we to get at it?
18794	We asked each other in wonder,"Is it possible?
18794	We asked ourselves what we should do without the President at our meetings?
18794	We think our cause a righteous one, but are we willing to die for it?
18794	Were they again going to decide to continue their resistance?
18794	Were they now to abandon these Colonists, and-- thinking only about saving themselves-- leave them to fight on alone?
18794	Were they, then, to surrender unconditionally?
18794	What advantage can there then be in persisting in the struggle?
18794	What are we to do with them?
18794	What benefit have they ever done us?
18794	What can we have to do at Winburg?"
18794	What could we do now?
18794	What could we do now?
18794	What grounds have we for expecting that we may yet be victorious?
18794	What had followed on them?
18794	What has the nation done to deserve extinction?
18794	What have I to do with this horse?"
18794	What have we gained since June, 1901?
18794	What more, then, was there left for them to do?
18794	What reason had they for wishing to prolong this struggle?
18794	What right shall we have to intercede for these unfortunate ones when we have rejected the proposals of the English Government?
18794	What right, then, had the delegates to give up the war on the basis of the proposal now before them?
18794	What shall we gain by going on?
18794	What then was I to do?
18794	What was I to do?
18794	What was I to do?
18794	What was I to do?
18794	What was our total strength when we began this war?
18794	What was to become of them if the burghers, by refusing to come to terms with the enemy, should no longer be able to act as their mutual protectors?
18794	What were we to do?
18794	What will the world say of these young burghers?
18794	What will then become of these families?
18794	What would it be to have to give up that name for ever?
18794	What would their progeny say of them if they were to persist in the struggle and thus lose everything they had possessed?
18794	What, he asked, were the arguments in favour of continuing the war?
18794	What, moreover, was to happen to the prisoners of war, if the struggle were to be continued?
18794	What, then, is the answer to be?
18794	What, then, is to be our judgment on this act of Prinsloo and of the other chief officers in command of our forces behind the Roodebergen?
18794	When on the following night we were again in the saddle I heard from many a mouth,"Whither now?"
18794	When the Kaffir came out to me, I pointed to the Magalies Mountains, and asked:--"Right before us, can a man cross there?"
18794	When we had gone up about half- way we heard the challenge of a sentry:--"Halt; who goes there?"
18794	Where is the''honourable peace''for us?
18794	Which of them could say that he could have obtained better terms for the people than those contained in that proposal?
18794	Who goes there?"
18794	Why should we lose our trust in God?
18794	Why then should Germany interfere in favour of the Republics, when she has everything to lose by such a course of action?
18794	Why then should they argue any longer?
18794	Why this sudden change in his plans?
18794	Will not this make our remorse all the more bitter?
18794	Will this make us stronger?
18794	Will you give us your permission to adjourn for a moment in order to discuss the matter?"
18794	Will you not continue fighting until you are relieved?
18794	Would England then be entitled to call their antagonists"Guerillas"?
18794	Would it not be better to come to some agreement with the enemy, while we have the opportunity?
18794	Would they not lose everything, and be banished into the bargain?
18794	[ 120]"What, then, are we to do?
18794	[ Footnote 22:"How is it with you?"]
18794	_ Weak_, did I say?
18794	that is very surprising; but shall we retain this power long?
