A look of sharp determination came into the minister's eyes; he had the momentary air of a small Scotch terrier with a bidding. Finlay looked at him in startled recognition of another possible phase of his dilemma; he thought he knew it in every wretched aspect.
For a moment he did not answer. "I am afraid the economic situation is not quite analogous," he said, stiffly and absently, when the moment had passed. "Why does your brother always call me 'Mr' Finlay?" he demanded presently. "It isn't friendly." The note of irritation in his voice puzzled her. "I think the form is commoner with us," she said, "even among men who know each other fairly well."
I made my way, however, to the old man's berth. "How are you, Captain Finlay?" I asked. He did not reply. I stepped nearer. His eyes were closed. I thought he was dead; yet I heard his voice, I was certain of that. I stood looking at him, afraid to ascertain if what I feared was the case. A feeling of awe crept over me. I did not like to call out to Jim, yet I wanted him to come to me.
"Holy Gee!" exclaimed Spike beneath his breath; then, in a hoarse whisper: "Is that Maggie Maggie Finlay?" "Oh is that you, Arthur?" she whispered back. "Arthur oh, Arthur, I, I'm going away, but I couldn't go without coming to to kiss dear mother good-by and now I'm here I daren't knock for fear of father.

I suppose it was about three thousand feet where we started across. At the mouth of the Finlay it's only two thousand feet a big drop.
Well, I hope they'll change them and be done with it, for I can't say I'm anxious for too much of their Mr Finlay in Knox Church." "Oh, you like the man well enough for a change, Mother!" John assured her. "I've nothing to say against his preaching. It's the fellow himself.
"I doubt they get into slack ways in these missions," said Peter. He had been unable, with Dr Drummond, to see the necessity for such extensions. Meanwhile Hugh Finlay, in secular attire, had left the church by the vestry door, and was rapidly overtaking groups of his hearers as they walked homeward.
Indeed, she said, she would have been real vexed if Mr Finlay had stayed behind on her account she showed herself well aware of the importance of a nomination, and the desirability of responding to it.
