"But if you will not eat, off with you at once; you will be back the sooner, for you go on a fool's errand. Off with you, Mr. David," she continued, opening the door. "He has lowpen on his bonny grey, He rade the richt gate and the ready; I trow he would neither stint nor stay, For he was seeking his bonny leddy."
"Archie liked better to bide out here. This is a bonny place." "Oh, ay, it's a bonny place enow," said Mrs Stirling. Then, turning to Archie, she said, "And so you liked better to bide out here than to go in to your dinner at the manse? Well, it's a good bairn that likes to do what it's bidden.
It scares me almost to death. And I'd like right well to know what happened last night. Beverly Ashby is not the sort of girl to go up in the air over nothing, believe me, but she was pretty high up last night. Do go for Bonny, Sally. I'm too nervous to wait another minute." "All right," and away sped Sally down the corridor. As she reached the foot of the stairs she almost ran into Wesley.
I knew thy father when he was a mere lad, so high; he had as bonny a face as one cared to see. They tell me thou didst expect to see here my poor master; is't so? Aye, well thou hast found his son, the blessedst man that walks the earth. He has a wicked, bad tongue at times, but he means nothing. I nursed him and his father, and am longing for a wife for his lordship."
William Yates's eldest child was a girl named Ellen, and she very soon became an especial favourite with the young lodger. On returning from his hard day's work at "The Ground," he would take the little girl upon his knee, and say to her, "Nelly, thou bonny little dear, wilt be my wife?" to which the child would readily answer "Yes," as any child would do.
She was bonnier this time than the last. She had tired o' the rosy clood, and she had on a bonny goon o' black silk, sae modest and sae rich, wi' diamond buttons up the front o' the briest o' 't. Weel, to mak a lang story short, and the shorter the better, for it's nae a pleesant ane to me, she cam aftener and aftener.
For a moment they gazed in silence, then with a sigh he said, "She's a bonny lass and doubtless he a brave, well-favored young fellow; both on the sunny side of life, while I ah, Miss Annis, if I were but twenty years younger " "What then, Mr. Lilburn?" she asked sportively. "You would be looking about for such a sweet young creature and trying to win her heart?"
This was not much, but it was sufficient to prove his great strength, and to convince me that a large tortoise could easily have walked off with a little boy. I found Bonny dismounted and waiting. "No steenboks to-day, I fear," he said. "We must have a shot at something, Bonny," said I, dismounting, and sitting down on an anthill.
But I have a grandfather who loves me dearly as I love him." Some impulse brought her forward, and she took both my hands in her own. "Ye'll forgive an auld woman, sir," she said, with a dignity that matched her son's, "but ye're sae young, an' ye hae sic a leuk in yere bonny gray e'e that I ken yell aye be a true friend o' John's.
I blow thee a kiss, my fair, And I promise to bring thee, when next we meet, A braid for thy bonny hair. Hurrah! for the booty! my steed, hurrah! Thorough bush, thorough brake, go we; And the coy moon smiles on our merry way, Like my own love, timidly." The parson he rides with a jingling pouch, How it blabs of the rifled poor!
