Excerpt from Souls in Bondage
Good grey hills hung over Depfontein on two sides; elsewhere the veld, like an easy sea, was vacant to the horizon. The little town perched on its shore, a mere white speck against the darker grey of the lower slopes of the hills; and past it went a slow shallow spruit, which roared and spouted in summer, and sank to a. Chain of pools in the mid-year. The railway touched a flank of the town and loosely linked it to a great world beyond, whose pulsations and shoutings, deadened in coming, were small matters in Dopfontein compared with the Afizrage erb'p's. Success or failure, and came not within the same category of things that count as the predikant's quarrel with the resident magistrate. It was an excellently self suficient community, and even as it cleared its skirts of alien issues, it never cast its own burdens on other shoulders. The editorial we of the Dopfontein Courant (only authorised medium for dis trict council notices in the division) was a feature, or perhaps an embodiment, of local thought.
