" And a shod horse ! " murmured Frikkie. Nothing more. An hour after he was cold, and David was alone on the stoep, questioning pitiless skies and groping for God, while Christina knelt beside the bed within and wept blood from her soul. They buried Frikkie in a little kraal on the hillside, and David made the coffin. When he nailed down the lid he was an old man ; when the first red clod rang on it, he felt that life had emptied itself. When they were back in the house again, Christina turned ...to him. " You knew, " she said, in a strange voice " you knew, but you could not save him. " And she laughed aloud. David covered his face with his hands and groaned, but the next instant Christina's arms were about him. Yet of their old life, before the deluge of grief, too much was happy to be all swamped. Time softened THE MAN WHO KNEW 229 the ruggedness of their wound somewhat, and a day came when all the world was no longer black. Little Paul helped them much, for what had once been Frikkie's was now his ; and as he grew before their eyes, his young strength and beauty were a balm to them.
