'Lord Roberts at the "Orange Grove" Inn: A Characteristic Incident', (1901). British soldier Frederick Sleigh Roberts (1832-1914) fought the Boers in South Africa, 1899-1900. Here he is depicted at the Orange Grove Inn near Johannesburg: 'one of the officers...found the Field Marshal with one of the inn-keeper's little children on his knee, trying to teach the mite to trace the letters of the alphabet with a pencil. When the officer entered the room Lord Roberts looked up with a smile, and said - "Don't come now; can't you see I'm busy?"'. From "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts, Vol. IV. - To Lord Roberts's Reign in Pall Mall", by J. Maclaren Cobban. [T. C. & E. C. Jack, Edinburgh, 1901]
