The Mayor of Cape Town received us, and dear friends were there to tell us with brimming eyes of their joy in our release.

Those good people who have followed me thus far will see that a woman’s part in a revolution is a very poor part to play.  There is little hazard and no glory in it.

The day we made Southampton, as we stood, a number of Reformers and Reformers’ wives, on the ‘Norham’s’ deck, one of the gentlemen who had come to welcome us asked: 

‘Mrs. Hammond, what did you do in the revolution?’

‘She helped us bear our trouble,’ said Lionel Phillips, and his words were sweet praise to my ears.

A few weeks later, in my lovely English home, a third son was born to us.  There was something very appropriate in this child of war-times being first consigned to the professional arms of a Miss Gunn.

‘He is perfect,’ were his father’s first words to me as he leaned over the new-born infant, and every mother will know all that meant to me.
