When I had been working [as an apprentice dress-maker] for three years and was approaching my nineteenth year, first the South African War broke out and the whole country broke out in a rash of patriotism and sang all kinds of jingoistic songs about the streets. It made a change and a bit of excitement. It also caused a lot of bitterness, because not everyone thought it was justified. […] The years sped by and the South African War still languished on, and patriotism flagged and jingo songs ceased to excite us, and the old Queen fell ill. |
