How mysterious: soon as I posted my second reply, my original one & your subsequent post (re)appeared... Thank you for reminding me about the lodging house keeper fact: I had forgotten that: I would imagine that he was either a paid employee or that his father had given him some capital to set up in that way: whatever the truth is, he obviously found the colonial lure strong though the region was of course very tense at the time: he would have had the Boer War right on his family's doorstep..
