Excerpt from The Life of the Rt. Hon. Cecil John Rhodes, 1853-1902, Vol. 2
Town. They were studded with fine examples of those Old Huguenot homesteads in which his soul delighted. But he occupied none Of them. Their former owners, a simple, kindly, hospitable folk, were permitted to remain in undisputed possession, and he built himself a tiny cottage on the mountain-side, looking down upon a panorama of enchanting loveliness. While an ordinary member Of the Cape Parliament, he lodged at a small private hotel or took his meals at a club. Long after he had amassed a fortune, his personal expenditure was inconsiderable, though his generosity to others was suspected to be unstinted. I say suspected, because no man knew. He was very reticent about his bounty, nor did he allow his right hand to know what his left hand did. He had mastered the profound secret that a man's life does not consist in the things that he possesses.
