The first thing I tuik till was teachin'. Noo that's a braw thing, whan the laddies and lassies want to learn, and hae questons o' their ain to speir. But whan they dinna care, it's the verra deevil. Or lang, a'thing grew grey. I cared for naething and naebody. My verra dreams gaed frae me, or cam only to torment me, wi' the reid hert o' them changed to yallow and grey.
'I have been a bad man, and a bad father, and now I gie mysel' up to you to mak the best o' me ye can. I daurna leave ye, Robert. 'Pray to God to tak care o' ye, father. He'll do a'thing for ye, gin ye'll only lat him. 'I will, Robert.
He's been stickin' in like a hatter ever sin' syne, an' has a'thing as neat's ninepence; so I canna say a single wird. But is't no raley something terriple? Spring holiday! Wheesht! I'll no' forget it in a hurry, I can tell you. But I never saw't different.
"I hae a'thing at hame to make me blithe 'cep' it be a wheen mair siller," answered Cosmo; "but maybe that'll come neist wha kens?" "Ay! wha kens?" returned the girl with a sigh.

The Collie Park lads did fine for a while, but some o' them didna get so lang strikin' the ba' as ithers, an' they began to roar cheek.

"They'll be wantin to ken a'thing!" she sobbed.
Laist sacrament at Edinburgh ye pickit up twal books, ae clothes brush, an' a crochet cover for a chair, an' left a'thing that belonged tae ye."
