Seven horsemen came to my house. I was then in the garden, but on seeing them I hastened to the house. Four armed men stood outside; the other three had come in and were turning everything upside down.
When I was at the door one of them came towards me with the question, “Whose place is this?”
I answered, “De la Rey’s.”
“The General’s?” he asked.
I said, “Yes.”
Then he told me that I must bring my husband out of the house.
I answered, “You have been inside, why don’t you bring him out yourself? I cannot do so, because he is on commando.”
“When did he go from here?” he asked me.
“A week since,” I answered.
After asking a few more questions and taking whatever he wanted he went away.
