We shall wish for mercy rather than justice, and' here the doctor looked earnestly over his glasses at his elder 'we would be none the worse, Drumsheugh, of a Friend to say a good word for us both in the Great Court! 'A've thocht that masel' it was an agony for Drumsheugh to speak 'a've thocht that masel mair than aince.
A've naither wife nor bairns o' ma own, an' a' coont a' the fouk o' the Glen ma family. Div ye think a' wudna save Annie if I cud? If there wes a man in Muirtown 'at cud dae mair for her, a'd have him this verra nicht, but a' the doctors in Perthshire are helpless for this tribble.
Ye wudna gie him up, and ye did what nae ither cud for him, an' a've ma man the day, and the bairns hae their father. "An' afore MacLure kent what she was daein', Bell lifted his hand to her lips an' kissed it." "Did she, though?" cried Jamie. "Wha wud hae thocht there wes as muckle spunk in Bell?"
"A've hed the same masel in sic circumstances; they come on sudden," said Jamie. "A' wager there 'ill be a new bit in the laist prayer the day, an' somethin' worth hearin'." And the fathers went into kirk in great expectation.
"It's no' ma bike anyway; it belongs to one of the hatefu' governin' classes, an' A've nothin' to do but mak' guid the damage." "Oh," said the girl blankly, then she suddenly went red. "Of course," she began awkwardly, "as I was responsible I can well afford " She halted lamely and Tam's eyes twinkled.
A've a score for t' reckon up wi' t' press-gang! And the old man lifted up his right hand his hand on which the forefinger and thumb were maimed and useless partly in denunciation, and partly as a witness of what he had endured to escape from the service, abhorred because it was forced.
Yo'r sheep will be a' folded, a reckon, Measter Pratt, for there'll niver be a nibble o' grass to be seen this two month, accordin' to my readin'; and a've been at sea long enough, and on land long enough t' know signs and wonders. It's good stuff that, any way, and worth comin' for, after he had gulped down a tumblerful of half-and-half grog.
'A've thocht that masel, replied the agonized elder, 'mair than aince. Weelum MacLure was 'ettling aifter the same thing the nicht he slippit awa, an' gin ony man cud hae stude on his ain feet yonder, it was Weelum. And for minister and elder and doctor and me 'there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
Lord! how Bell used to speak to me, as short as though a wasn't a Christian, an' a' t' time she loved me as her very life, an' well a knew it, tho' a'd to mak' as tho' a didn't. Philip, when thou goes courtin', come t' me, and a'll give thee many a wrinkle. A've shown, too, as a know well how t' choose a good wife by tokens an' signs, hannot a, missus?
A've wished for a gallery at a time, but there's mair credit in findin' it oot below ay, an' pleesure tae; a' never wearied in kirk in ma life." Mrs. Macfadyen did not appreciate prodigal quotations of Scriptures, and had her suspicions of this practice.
