The End of the Feud . .191 — A VENDETTA OF THE DESERT CHAPTER I THE POWER OF THE DOG LD Tyardt van der Walt, head of the family O of that name, came of good Netherlands stock. His grandfather had emigrated from Holland with his family in the middle of the Eighteenth Century and settled at the Cape. He bought a farm in the Stellenbosch district and there com- menced life anew as a wine farmer. The family consisted of his wife, a son and several daughters all of whom married early. At his death the farm descended to his son Cornelius from whom, in course of time, another Tyardt inherited it. The last- mentioned Tyardt forsook the settled and fertile environs of Stellenbosch and trekked forward to seek his fortune in the unknown and perilous wilderness. A story is told as to the reason for this migration which, though it has no direct bearing on the story which is to be recorded in this volume, is interesting enough in itself to merit relation. There was, it is said, a gruesome legend connected with the van der Walts. It dated from the times of A — — 2 A VENDETTA OF THE DESERT William the Silent and was to the following effect : The head of the van der Walt family of that period lived in the town of Maestricht. He was a man of solitary habits. In his youth his wife had deserted him for another. He had been passionately attached to her, and he never recovered from the blow, but lived the rest of his days in solitude. Years afterwards, when he was quite an old man, a son of the man who had wronged him—a young and zealous Lutheran preacher, came to live in his vicinity. This preacher was in the habit of visiting in disguise families of his co-religionists in the Pro- vinces where the Spaniards held complete dominion. He had a dog that had been trained to convey cypher messages from place to place. Van der Walt betrayed this preacher to the authorities, with the result that he was captured and sentenced to be burnt alive. The betrayer was among those who crowded round the stake to gloat over the agonies of the victim. The dog had followed its master and, seeing his evil case, set up a piteous howling. The Spaniards, judging the heretic to be a wizard, and the dog his familiar spirit, caught the unhappy animal and bound it among the faggots at its master’s feet. Just as the pile was lit the preacher lifted up his voice and cried aloud : “ Gerrit van der Walt,—for thy black treachery to a servant of the Lord, thou shalt die in misery within a year and a day.

  • Lon Chaney (1Er Avril 1883 – 26 Août 1930), Surnommé « L'homme Aux
    Lon Chaney (1er avril 1883 – 26 août 1930), surnommé « l’homme aux mille visages », est un acteur de cinéma américain du temps du muet. Il fut l’un des acteurs les plus polyvalents et les plus impressionnants de l’aube du cinéma. On se souvient de lui surtout pour ses compositions de personnages torturés, souvent grotesques et affectés, ainsi que pour son talent novateur en ce qui concerne le maquillage de cinéma. Lon Chaney naquit Leonidas Frank Chaney à Colorado Springs (Colorado), le fils de Frank H. Chaney et d’Emma Alice Kennedy, son père avait du sang français mais surtout anglais, tandis que sa mère avait des origines irlandaises. Les parents de Chaney étaient sourds tous les deux et, dès l’enfance, Chaney montra quelque talent pour la pantomime. Il commença à monter sur les planches en 1902 et tourna avec des troupes de vaudeville et de théâtre. En 1905, il fit la connaissance de la chanteuse Cleva Creighton et l’épousa alors qu’elle n’avait que seize ans. L’année suivante naquit celui qui restera leur unique enfant, Creighton Chaney, qui fut mieux connu bien plus tard sous le nom de Lon Chaney, Jr.. La famille Chaney poursuivit les tournées, avant de se fixer en Californie en 1910. Malheureusement, leur mariage commença à battre de l’aile et, en avril 1913, Cleva se rendit au Majestic Theatre, situé au centre de Los Angeles, où Lon travaillait à un spectacle, le Kolb and Dill show et, là, elle tenta de mettre fin à ses jours en avalant du bichlorure de mercure.

  • INTRODUCTION Andrew Birkin's Book J. M. Barrie and the Lost Boys
    Notes INTRODUCTION Andrew Birkin's book J. M. Barrie and the Lost Boys (Birkin, 1979) was dramatised as a three-part television serial for BBC television in October 1978. CHAPTER I: PETER PAN AND FREUD References to Freud, by volume number, year ofwriting (in parenthesis) and first publication of work and page number, are to The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works 01 Sigmund Freud, 24 vols (London: Hogarth, 1953-74), and to the Pelican Freud where available. 2 'the first time he is founded in a Lye, it should rat her be wondered at as a monstrous Thing in him, than reproved as an ordinary Fault' (Locke, 1693, pp. 153-4). 3 There is no room here to discuss in detail Bettelheim's work on the fairy tale, but it should be noted that, while he interprets Little Red Riding Hood, for example, predominantly in terms ofthe girI's mastery ofOedipal conflict, he does stress throughout the book the partial nature of his reading and the multifarious and contradictory meanings which fairy tales carry in them­ selves, and which they may represent for different children at different moments of their psychic life. In fact, I see a tension between Bettelheim's stress on this complexity and his fundamental aesthetic - his belief in the artistic coherence ofthe fairy tale, the facility ofthe child's identification with its characters and meaning, and the assumption of its final and necessary resolution ofpsychic and sexual conflict.

No one could be kinder than the old woman was. She used to bathe my arm by the hour, and she fed me up with broth. At the end of that time I felt ready for work, though my arm was of course useless. So, having paid my account, I went down boldly to the river and crossed to Harfleur, and then went on to Havre. I stayed there for a couple of days at a sailors' cabaret, where they supposed that I belonged to a vessel in port, and no questions were asked.
