She seemed relieved when she heard that George
had bought a farm near our own farm and intended
to settle in South Africa. She became quite
animated, and chattered away to him.
After that I would often slip away to the little
cottage by the mealie lands. Once she was somewhat
disappointed on hearing that we had decided
to wait for two years before getting married,
but when she learned that my father and mother
were both pleased with the match she seemed
reassured.
Still, she often appeared anxious about my
love affair, and would ask questions that seemed
to me strange, almost as though she feared that
something would happen to destroy my romance.
But I was quite unprepared for her outburst
when I mentioned that George thought of paying
a lightning visit to England before we were
married."He must not do it,"she cried."Ina,
you must not let him go. Promise me you will
prevent him."she was trembling all over.
I did what I could to console her, but she looked
so tired and pale that I persuaded her to go
to her room and rest, promising to return the
next day.
When I arrived I found her sitting on the stoep.
She looked lonely and pathetic, and for the
first time I wondered why no man had ever taken
her and looked after her and loved her. Mother
had told me that Great-aunt Stephina had been
lovely as a young girl, and although no trace
of that beauty remained, except perhaps in her
brown eyes, yet she looked so small and appealing
that any man, one felt, would have wanted to
protect her. She paused, as though she did not
quite know how to begin.
Then she seemed to give herself, mentally,
a little shake. "You must have wondered
", she said, "why I was so upset at
the thought of young George's going to England
without you. I am an old woman, and perhaps
I have the silly fancies of the old, but I should
like to tell you my own love story, and then
you can decide whether it is wise for your man
to leave you before you are married."
