"Rowan was here this afternoon," she remarked carelessly. He was sitting so that the light fell sidewise on his face. She noted how alert it became, but he said nothing. "Isabel refused to see him." He wheeled round and faced her with pain and surprise. "Refused to see him!" "She has told me since that she never intends to see him."
He was compelled to believe that she must have learned from Rowan himself the things that had compelled her painful course. Why had Rowan never confided these things to him?
"Lock him up with the rest!" was the abrupt reply of the "Commissioner of Public Safety." At this juncture James Rowan was brought in from the patrol wagon, and searched. As the officers were about to put him in the cell with the others, Sheriff McRae called out: "Don't put him in there, he is instigator of the whole damn business. Turn him over to me."
I stood before him and I told him that I wanted to take service in his house. Crom Duv had never had a servant in his house. But I told him that he should have a byre-maid and that I was well fitted to look after his cattle. He told me to follow him. I saw the Bull of the Mound and I was made wonder how I could get away with the berry from the Fairy Rowan Tree.
Isabel stirred listlessly as with remembrance of a duty: "I had forgotten, grandmother, that I owe you an explanation. I found, after all, that I should have to see Rowan again: there was a matter about which I was compelled to speak with him. That is all I meant by being with him to-night: everything now is ended between us." "And you are going away without giving me the reason of all this?"
When the judge entered a small, gray-haired, keen-eyed man in a black suit, with gold spectacles, spotless linen, and clean-shaven face Babcock's fears were confirmed. This man, he felt, would be legally exact, no matter who suffered by his decision. Rowan opened the case, the judge listening attentively, looking over his glasses.
One day, as Donald was busily engaged with his Still, a charge for which he was just about starting, there came to the door of his hut a man leading a horse from which he had just dismounted. This man did not wait for an invitation to enter, but, having made fast his reins to the branch of a neighbouring rowan tree, walked in and sat down, with a mere "Good day."
And his Apostles where do you find him saying to them, 'Preach my word to all men as the secrets of a priesthood and the mysteries of the Father'? "It is the tragedy of man alone that he has his secrets. No doubt the time will come when I shall have mine and when I shall have to hide things from you, Pansy, as Rowan has his and hides things from us.
Rowan went out into the kitchen and began to pound the beefsteak. "D' you think she sispicioned anythin'?" asked Mr. Rowan out of one side of his mouth, and Elmer Lonnie said, "No, sir," and wondered if his Pa "sispicioned anythin" when Ma said, "Run git the old slippers." Mr. Waldo always walked up with Mr.
There were other wild deeds in history, and in the story of the "Raiders," memories of hunts for Covenanters, and great killings. But now all is peace, and I should have thought Loch Trool forgotten by the world if, in a dell of birch, rowan, hazel trees, and great pines like green umbrellas, I had not spied a roof.
