The passage is on page 15, first paragraph states:
ReplyDelete"'(Meener Venter speaking)He must learn a proper lesson. Talking is not good enough!'
The old woman was insistent. 'He's only a child, my Baas. Once the Baas was also a child!'
Mener Venter turned on her now. 'You go too far now, Lettie. Watch out or I'll give you a lesson, too!'"
This passage above represents, to me, the relationship between the domination of Blacks by Whites in South Africa. Though if all the maids and servants got together, they could've overthrown Meener.
