Landlords wull ask if there are bairns, and if there are they'll seek anither tenant. It's no richt. The law maun step in and reach them. Oh, I mind a story I heard frae a friend o' mine on that score. He's a decent body, wi' six o' the finest weans e'er you saw. He'd to find a bigger hoose, and he went a' aboot, and everywhere, when he told the landlords he had six bairns, they'd no have him.
So that's what I'm meaning when I say it's no all my fault if I preach, sometimes, on the stage, or when I'm writing in a book. It's true, too, I'm thinking, that I'm no a real author. For when I sit me doon to write a book I just feel that I maun talk wi' some who canna be wi' me to hear my voice, and I write as I talk.
"Not I. Revenge in cold blood is the deil's own act. I dinna wark wi' the deil, when it's a losing job to me." "Will you take £95 then?" "No. When lads want whistles they maun pay for them." "I'll give no more. For why? Because in twenty days you will do my work for me; then it will cost me nothing, and it will cost you £89, that is all about it, Starkie."
"Hegh, sir, now you ha' the bra' time before you, you maun e'en try and be as geud as he. And if life last, ye wull too; for there never waur a bad ane of that stock. Wi' heads kindly stup'd to the least, and lifted manfu' oop to the heighest, that ye all war' sin ye came from the Ark.
Disna the Saviour say: 'I am the licht o' the warl? He that walketh in Him maun ken what licht is, lassie. Syne ye hae the licht in yersel in yer ain hert; an' ye maun ken what it is. Ye canna mistak' it." Annie was neither able nor willing to enter into an argument on the matter, although she was not satisfied. She would rather think than dispute about it.
The Bailie's doing what he can to save something out of the wreck for puir Rose; but I doubt, I doubt, I shall never see her again, for I maun lay my banes in some far country.
It may rain I wudna won'er, but there'll be nae snaw no afore I win hame, onygait. 'Weel, min', gien there be ae drap o' weet, ye maun change ilka stic the minute ye're i' the hoose. Ye're no that stoot yet! 'I'll be sure, auntie! answered Phemy, and they parted almost at a right angle.
"Bring some dry claes. Jenny, an' get some warm watter bottles in the bed. Puir thing, she's in an awfu' state. She's a' tremblin' an' maun hae been awfu' ill," and she worked with and stripped the wet clothes from the girl and soon had her in bed, but in spite of all her efforts Mysie remained unconscious.
At length he was sufficiently recovered to walk to his grandfather's cottage; but only now for the first time had he a notion of how far bodily condition can reach in the oppression and overclouding of the spiritual atmosphere. "Gien I be like this," he said to himself, "what maun the weather be like aneth yon hump o' the laird's!"
Saddletree could do her or ony ither body muckle good or ill, but it wad aye serve to keep the puir thing's heart up for a wee while; and let sorrow come when sorrow maun."
