Three notes from thine own sweet strains of Thusa ha measg na reultan mor, blown by his pipe, shall be a sign to me that he is there; and I will come forth to hear tidings of thee." "Ah, my Wallace, let me go with thee!" "What, dearest!" returned he, "to live amidst rocks and streams! to expose thy tender self, and thine unborn infant, to all the accidents of such a lodging!"
She shook her hair loose from its plait and threw back her head, loving it all the wind and the dark sky and the tense feeling of readiness for the storm with which everything seemed charged with an almost pagan joy. "'Thusa!" The call came very faint and far away. Then "'Thusa!" Louder this time, and much nearer, but Arethusa heeded it not if she heard; her dance continued uninterrupted.
A soulless sound, or a direful knell, to recall the remembrance of all he had lost. Such were his thoughts when the words of Thusa ha measg rung from Lady Mar's voice. Those were the strains which Halbert used to breathe from his heart to call Marion to her nightly slumbers-those were the strains with which that faithful servant had announced that she slept to wake no more!
If yer's enny time an' strength ter spar' more'n yer givin' day by day in the school, I want yer should give it to to Winnie an' 'Thusa they're bright girls, that have studied hard, and are young and strong. It is through such as them that we must come up our people, I mean. I want you to give them my hour, Miss Mollie my hour! Don't say you won't do it!" he cried, seeing a gesture of dissent.
But "'Thusa had such a pretty neck," said the guilty seamstress to herself; and what did an inch or so matter in the end? In Arethusa's simple soul, even with her "love of gew-gaws," as Miss Eliza phrased it, there was no smallest room for envy.
She felt as if she were about to suffocate in this close room after her glorious little run in the breath of the cold wind. "May I open a window, Aunt 'Titia," she begged, "Please, mayn't I? It's not storming yet, and, and, I'm so hot!" "Never open a window in a storm, 'Thusa. It's a very dangerous thing to do."
Arethusa agreed with fervency. "You'd better thank your Aunt 'Titia then," from Miss Eliza. "She did, Sister," interposed Miss Letitia hastily. "She already did!" "I didn't hear her." "Well, she gave me a lovely hug, and we both know what that means, don't we, 'Thusa dearie?" "Hum ... ph!" from Miss Eliza.
The whole room, even with its closed blinds, was suddenly illuminated by a blinding glow, and a crashing roll of thunder followed immediately afterwards. Miss Letitia screamed. "Mercy on us! How awful! That was so near. Sister 'Liza, you'd better get a pillow! 'Thusa...!"
"We can't agree at all," are the words as a couple separate, probably to come together again later in the day. "An do reic thu na 'h'uainn fhathast, Coignasgailean?" "Cha neil fios again'm lieil thusa air son tavigse thoirtorra, Cnocnangraisheag?" "Thig gus ain fluich sin ambarfan." Perhaps I had better translate.
She ignored the injunction to put on her dress and leaned coaxingly nearer to Miss Eliza, whose habitually stern expression softened involuntarily. But how could she help it, with that glowing face wheedling so close to her own? Miss Eliza, after all, was not wood or iron. "Then please, Aunt 'Liza, let me have another dress?" "What do you want with another dress, 'Thusa?"
