An' ken ye what I saw!-ane o' the black dragoons in full retreat, grannie; but he left his camp equipage ahint him, as the sergeant said when Ye ken the story, grannie. Ye maun hae been terrible bonny in thae days!" "'Deed I'm nane sae unbonny yet, for a' yer helicat flichtmafleathers, sprigget goons, an' laylac bonnets," said the old lady, shaking her head till the white silk top-knots trembled.
Awa with him, Geordie, pay him, plack and bawbee, out of our monies in your hands, and let them care that come ahint." Richie, who had counted with the utmost certainty upon the success of this master-stroke of policy, was like an architect whose whole scaffolding at once gives way under him. He caught, however, at what he thought might break his fall.
Luik doon frae yer bonny hoose amo' the stars, an' see the braw laad left ahint ye, an' praise the lord 'at ye ha'e sic a son o' yer boady to come hame to ye whan a' 's ower." She sobbed and wept for a while without restraint. Then suddenly she rose, dabbed her eyes indignantly, and cried, "Hoot! I'm an auld fule. A body wad think I hed feelin's efter a'!"
You make a start to-day and I'll come ahint and take the pull to-morrow. Ha' you got anythin' to boil down in, Fleda? there's a potash kittle somewheres, ain't there? I guess there is. There is in most houses." "There is a large kettle I suppose large enough," said Fleda. "That'll do, I guess.
I sez to Adam onny t'other day, 'You'll be diggin' a grave for Passon presently see if you don't for he's runnin' downhill as fast as a loaded barrow with naught ahint it. That's what I said, Passon an' its Gospel true!" Walden smiled. "You're quite right, Mrs. Frost," he said, patiently "I am certainly going downhill, as you say but I must try to put a little check on the wheels!
"Eh, sirs!" he said, having accomplished this task, "look out yonder, Milnwood; saw ye ever mortal fight like the deevil Claver'se? Yonder he's been thrice doun amang them, and thrice cam free aff. But I think we'll soon be free oursells, Milnwood. Inglis and his troopers look ower their shouthers very aften, as if they liked the road ahint them better than the road afore."
My assailants havin ca'ed in the assistance o' a couple o' great, big, stout fallows o' porters, I was finally pinned to the floor, whan my hauns bein secured by a pair o' handcuffs, I was raised to my feet, again collared by the twa officers, and a cry havin been made to clear the road, I was led oot o' the office in procession; a messenger on each side o' me, the twa porters ahint, and ane before, openin a passage through the crowd, whose remarks, as I gaed alang, were highly flatterin to me:
This was not serious; but now came Sim's landlord. He had called on the tailor the previous morning for his rent and could not get it. Late the same night Sim had knocked at his door with the money. "When I ax't him where he'd come from so late," said the man, "he glower't at me daiztlike, and said nought." "What was his appearance?" "His claes were a' awry, and he keep't looking ahint him."
He kent so weel, you see, what was in my mind, and aye there was that triumphing laugh ahint his face. If Aaron had fought and been beaten, even if he had just lain there and let the man strike away, if he had done anything except what he was bidden, he would have won, for it would have broken your father's power ower me. But to write the word!
'And at last, she said, telling his story many years after, 'at last it cam; and ahint it, I doobtna! cam the face o' the bonny man! Things went on in the same way for four years more, the only visible change being that Kirsty seldomer went about bare-footed. She was now between two and three and twenty.
