If you have your secrets, why may I not have mine? Now will you meet me at the Kaims?" "No; I distrust you more than ever. Even if you came, it would be to play with me as you have done already. How can a vagrant have five pounds in her pocket when she does not have five shillings on her back?" "You are a cruel, hard man," the Egyptian said, beginning to lose hope.
"You do trust me," the Egyptian said, with wet eyes; and now that he looked on her again "Yes," he said firmly, "I trust you," and the words that had been so difficult to say were the right words. He had no more doubt of it. "Just think a moment first," the doctor warned him. "I decline to have anything to do with this matter. You will go to the Kaims for the siller?"
Perceiving which, William de Kaims, a brave soldier, rushed on him, and seizing him by his helmet, shouted, 'Here, here, I have taken the King! Others came to his aid, and the King was made prisoner." After the capture of King Stephen, at this brief but decisive battle, he was kept a close prisoner at Bristol Castle.
Oh, ma'am, you surely dinna think I would take a widow man?" It was the day after Gavin's meeting with the Egyptian at the Kaims, and here is Jean's real reason for wishing to consult Haggart. Half an hour before she hurried to the parlour she had been at the kitchen door wondering whether she should spread out her washing in the garret or risk hanging it in the courtyard.
"Tell him," Dow roared; "and tell him what I said too. Ay, and tell him I was at the Kaims yestreen. Tell him I'm hunting high and low for an Egyptian woman." He flung recklessly out of the courtyard, leaving Jean looking blankly at the mud that had been holly lately. Not his act of sacrilege was distressing her, but his news. Were these berries a love token?
'And lang, lang may the maidens sit Wi' there gowd kaims i' the hair, A' waitin' for their ain dear luves, For them they'll see nae mair. I did a bit of sobbing here that would have been a credit to Sarah Siddons. "Splendid!
O, our Scots nobles wer richt laith To weet their cork-heild schoone; Bot lang owre a' the play wer played Thair hats they swam aboone. O lang, lang, may their ladies sit, Wi their fans into their hand, Or eir they see Sir Patrick Spence Cum sailing to the land. O lang, lang, may the ladies stand, Wi their gold kaims in their hair, Waiting for their ain deir lords, For they'll see them na mair.
'To think, he went on, 'o' a haill kirk o' cats aneath the yird a' sittin kaimin themsels wi' kaims! Kirsty, ye winna think it a place for me? 'Hoots! rejoined Kirsty, with a smile, 'the catacombs has naething to du wi' cats or kaims! 'Tell me what are they, than.
"You need not cast off your gay costly gown, To follow me on from town unto town; You need not take the gold kaims from your hair, For Hynde Horn has gold enough and to spare." Then the bridegrooms were changed, and the lady re-wed To Hynde Horn thus come back, like one from the dead.
"I cannot sit here, doctor, and hear her called names," Gavin said, rising, but McQueen gripped him by the shoulder. "For pity's sake, sir, don't let us wrangle like a pair of women. I brought you here to speak my mind to you, and speak it I will. I warn you, Mr. Dishart, that you are being watched. You have been seen meeting this lassie in Caddam as well as at the Kaims."
