Much do I envy my good brother Hamish, in that he hath so beauteous a partner as yourself to sit before him at his board. Truly he is a most fortunate man!" Adela's fair cheeks blushed rosy red at this compliment, but she did not smile.
What ails you to-night, Hamish?" "What right have I to tell my mother I, who can do nothing?" He shook off her detaining hand as if he was angry; but there was a sound of tears in his voice, and Shenac's momentary feeling of offence was gone. She would not be shaken off, and putting her arms round his neck she held him fast.
Hamish put the letter back from whence he had taken it, and jumped off the desk. "I must be walking," said he. "Stopping here will not do my work. If we " "By Jove! there's Knivett!" uttered Roland Yorke. "Where's he off to, so fast? I have something that I must tell him."
When it is finished and appears, I shall startle them at home with the news, and treat them to a sight of it. When all other trades fail, sir, I can set up my tent as an author." Mr. Huntley's feelings glowed within him. None, more than he, knew the value of silent industry the worth of those who patiently practise it. His heart went out to Hamish.
"Did I not tell you you would be frightened?" Colin Laing said. "I am not frightened at all," Hamish answered, indignantly. But as the train began to move more quickly, Hamish's hands, that held firmly by the wooden seat on which he was sitting, tightened and still further tightened their grasp, and his teeth got clinched, while there was an anxious look in his eyes.
Macleod, who had been pacing up and down the deck, suddenly called Hamish. Hamish came aft at once. "Hamish," said he, with a strange sort of laugh, "do you remember this morning, before the light came? Do you remember that I asked you about a brass-band that I heard playing?"

"I remember, you spoke, at Borcette, of having something in view for Hamish, should I be able to attend to business again. What is it?" "I did," said Mr. Huntley; "and I am sorry that I did. I spoke prematurely." "I suppose it is gone?" "Well no; it is not gone," replied Mr.
But it is uncomfortable; and, Hamish, it is not impossible that I might let myself be persuaded." Hamish looked grave. "I don't know but it is the best thing that could happen to me," Shenac continued. "I am not fit for any other life, I am afraid. But I must go away for a while at any rate." Hamish said nothing, though he looked as if he had something to say.
"Then you are very clever, Colin," said Hamish, contemptously. "But it is too clever you are. You think it strange that the young English lady should take that cabin. I will tell you this that it is not the first time nor the second time that the young English lady has gone for a voyage in the Umpire, and in that very cabin too.
