These are the last two illustrated pages of my Granny’s album. The first is dated 1905.
The second, undated entry, is penned by her husband and is indicative of my Grandfather’s wonderful sense of humour.

I posthumous love your grandfather. I wonder what I will do with my share of the golden spoils (Die perfekte misdaad).

I have just read Die perfekte misdaad – having lived in the Lowveld for many years, I am familiar with many Kruger millions misadventures. The end of your story promises to be interesting.
