'Are yo bad, 'Lias? 'Ay! said the old schoolmaster, in the voice of one speaking through a dream 'ay, varra bad, varra cold I mun lig me down a bit. And he rose feebly. David instinctively caught hold of him, and led him to a corner close by in the ruined walls, where the heather and bilberry grew thick up to the stones.
