Campbell further recalled, though, "Alas for poor Herr Kruger, worse trials were in store for him than the bag-pipes! A pure, 'dolichocephalous Nordic type,' of an almost albinoid blondness, with the palest of blue-eyes, he had the shock of discovering that his pure blond Nordic daughter had been put in a family way by one of the native servants, and they had to leave the country in record time, since in those days, few people, let alone Nordics, would have been able to face up to the scandal. My father bought the house and the garden; we let our original house; and retained the paddock, which was necessary for my father's, mother's, and grown-up sister's horses."
