Excerpt from The Life and Times of Sir George Grey, K. C. B, Vol. 2 of 2
All the races in South Africa had endeared them selves to their late Governor. The colonists, whether of British, or Dutch, or French extraction, had wel comed him warmly, and loyally supported him. The natives, both chiefs and people, had proved them selves true-hearted and faithful.
To realise that all his plans were stopped, and that the shears of the fatal sisters had, as it were, cut asunder the threads of his political life, could not but weigh with extreme gravity upon his. Mind. What the future would bring forth 'troubled him. Who would be sent to govern those scattered and diverse races? What counsels were to guide him? What policy would be given him to follow? All these ques tions, as he paced the deck while' Northern stars rose in the heavens, harassed and saddened a heart not' given to forebodings, and generally untroubled by events.
At any rate, if his connection with the colonies had ceased, he had attempted to the best of his ability to serve his Maker, his Queen, and his country.
