The Laird's dead! aweel, death pays a' scores; he was a kind man ance. The Sheriff's flitted, and I can keep canny in the bush; so there's no muckle hazard o' scouring the cramp- ring. I would like to see bonny Ellangowan again or I die. Brown meanwhile proceeded northward at a round pace along the moorish tract called the Waste of Cumberland.

He appeared devoted to his vocation, with strong hopes of success. It was a very superior instrument, and an excellent method of conveying to unpractised minds, many things, which otherwise must have remained mysteries to them.
My knowledge of Bonny, Bell, and Akkwa towns, Libreville, Lembarene, Kabinda, Boma, Banana, Nkoi, Loanda, etc., is extensive and peculiar, and I have spent hours in them when the whole of the missionary and Government people have been safe in their distant houses; so had the evils of the liquor traffic been anything like half what it is made out to be I must have come across it in appalling forms, and I have not.

And for my bonny bairn, he maun by this time be back hame to Him that sent him!"
