She was right in her surmise that Sally May had been chosen because she was so far from home, but she couldn't help wishing

"I have a town," quoth the sapient James, "in my ancient kingdom of Scotland, whilk is sae lang that at ane end of it a different language is spoken from that whilk prevails at the other." To this day the monarch's words are true; one end of Nairn is Gaelic, the other Sassenach. Here we obtain a considerable accession of strength.

The man stretched out a hand and pointed to the hazy hills to port. "We'll fetch the Narrows some time before noon. If you'll take the helm, I guess we'll half that meat for breakfast" His prediction proved correct, for Carroll reached his hotel about midday, and hastily changing his clothes set off to call on Nairn.

They were afterwards described by Agassiz, and the rocks containing them were examined by Sir R. Murchison and Professor Sedgwick, in Caithness, Cromarty, Moray, Nairn, Gamrie in Banff, and the Orkneys and Shetlands, in which great numbers of fossil fish have been found.

I believe they've a bonny place and there's no doubt Chisholm will make ye welcome." The slight pause was expressive.
