It was evident that something altogether unusual had\u003cbr\u003ehappened. All wore anxious and angry expressions, but a few shook hands\u003cbr\u003ewith each other, as if the news that so much agitated them, although\u003cbr\u003epainful, was yet welcome; and indeed this was so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor months a war-cloud had hung over the town, but it had been thought\u003cbr\u003ethat it might pass over without bursting. None imagined that the blow\u003cbr\u003ewould come so suddenly, and when it fell it had all the force of a\u003cbr\u003ecomplete surprise, although it had been so threatening for many weeks\u003cbr\u003ethat a considerable portion of the population had already fled. It was\u003cbr\u003etrue that great numbers of men, well armed, and with large numbers of\u003cbr\u003ecannon, had been moving south, but negotiations were still going on and\u003cbr\u003emight continue for some time yet; and now by the folly and arrogance of\u003cbr\u003eone man the cloud had burst, and in thirty hours war would begin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilar though smaller groups were gathered here and there in the\u003cbr\u003estreets. Parties of Boers from the country round rode up and down with\u003cbr\u003ean air of insolent triumph, some of them shouting \"We shall soon be rid\u003cbr\u003eof you; in another month there will not be a rooinek left in South\u003cbr\u003eAfrica.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083059577072,"sku":"2940013659025","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013659025_p0.jpg?v=1763583992","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013659025","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
