'The authoress spent over two years in a farm near Queenstown, and states her views upon the subject of colonial manners, Dutch, British, and native. The account of Grahamstown is full of good-natured criticism of the somewhat stiff, social habits of the inhabitants of that "saintly" city, and much sly fun is poked at the religious jealousies prevailing, and the internecine disputes which agitated the authorities of "The Diocesan School for Girls."' - Mendelssohn Vol.I, page 711
