I was about turning away to speak to the young man, when I was recalled by an exclamation from the landlord: "I guess," said he, in a half-bantering way, "you hain't told me your business yet?" "No," I answered deferentially, "I have not." "What on airth's takin' you to Holt's Clearin'?" "That, Mr Kipp I beg pardon Colonel Kipp is a private matter." "Private and particular, eh?" "Very."
'What on airth's the maitter wi' ye, Sandy? said Robert. 'Eh, Robert! returned the shoemaker, and a tone of affection tinged the mournfulness with which he uttered the strange words 'eh, Robert! the Almichty will gang his ain gait, and I'm in his grup noo. 'He's had a stroke, said his wife, without removing her apron from her eyes. 'Ye maun gang to yer bed, said Robert, greatly concerned.
Her cheek rested against his rough coat, and it seemed to her more soothing than the softest pillow. With a sigh of content, she folded her hands upon her breast, and he laid one of his big ones firmly over them both. She felt so safe, and held. Then she heard Jim Airth's voice, close to her ear. "We are not alone," he said.
An' 'tis the same here, 'cause God's eye be on you, Joan Tregenza, an' His eye caan't be fixed 'pon no spot wi'out brightening all around. You mind me, that's solemn truth. The Lard's watchin' over you watchin' double tides, as the sailors say and so this bit o' airth's smilin' from the herb o' the field to the biggest tree as graws.
"Why, John, you're like the ram of an iron-clad! Is it really yourself? Give us your flipper, my boy!" But the flipper was already in that of Willie Armstrong, while the others crowded round him with congratulations. "Wot on airth's all the noise about in that there corner?" exclaimed a Jack-tar, who was trying hard to tell an interminable story to a quiet shipmate in spite of the din.
There is just one name I want to bear, more than any other. There is just one thing I long to be. Then I shall be content. I want to have the right to be called 'Mrs. Jim Airth. I want more than all else beside, to be your wife. But until I am that; and may it be very soon! until you make me 'Mrs. Jim Airth' dearest I am Lady Ingleby." Jim Airth's arms fell slowly to his sides.
