"Where are the commandos?" he demanded again of Bettie, as fiercely as before.
The girl looked at him coldly. "We know nothing of any commandos, " she said. "How should we? Your noble army has not only driven us away from our homes after destroying 195 UNDER THE VIERKLEUR them, but has hunted us over the veldt like wild beasts. We have gone so far, s...o many of us are sick, so many have died, " her voice broke, "that we do not know whether we shall ever again see the men we love, if, indeed, you have not killed them also. " The officer laughed in her face. "Very pretty, Miss Boer, " he said; "but we happen to know better. " Bettie flushed with anger. "If those same men were here whom you pretend to be so anx- ious to find, you would not dare to call their women liars, " she cried. She turned to her mother, and furiously repeated the insult which, she conceived, had been offered to her, together with the answer she had made, translating them both into Dutch.
