I'm thinking it is no use to try to get near them there; but they will keep feeding on and on until they get over the ridge; and what we will do now is we will chist go aweh down wind, and get round to them from anither airt." It was little that Lionel knew what was involved in this apparently simple scheme.
"I'm thinking he's no far aweh," Roderick said, eagerly scanning all the ground in front of them. "We'll chist go forrit, sir; and you'll be ready to shoot, for, if he's only wounded, he may be up and off again when he sees us." "But do you really think I hit him?" Lionel said, anxiously enough. "I sah him struck," the keeper said, emphatically.
Roderick cried, with a quick little chuckle; and the words sent a thrill through Lionel such as he had never experienced in his life before. "No he's quite dead," the keeper continued, seeing that the younger man was making ready to raise his rifle again. "I was thinking he was well hit and no far aweh." At the same moment Lionel had eagerly run forward.
"But he never dropped no, not once on his knees even. He was off with the best of them; and that's what meks me think he was well hit, and that he's no far aweh." So they went forward on the track of the herd, slowly, and searching every dip and hollow. For Lionel it was a period of agonizing uncertainty.
"I'm thinking Alec and me will go aweh up to the top of Meall-Breac and hef a look round there; and if we are seeing nothing, we will come back this weh and go down the Corrie-nam-Miseag " "And I am to wait here for you?" Lionel exclaimed. "Not if I know it! By the time you come back, Roderick, you would find me a frozen corpse. I've got to keep moving somehow, and I may as well go on with you.
Lestrange asked me this morning for some small Durham Rangers; and I told him to go and take them out of the book. So he has taken the book out of the bag and stupidly forgot to put it back." "Then I will go aweh down to the Lodge and get it," Robert suggested. "Is it worth while?" she said. "There is a fly on the casting-line; and there won't be much fishing this afternoon."
If we should stumble down one of the steep banks, we should never be heard of again." "Oh, ay, we're a long distance from the ruvver? and it is as well to keep aweh; for if we were to get into the Geinig to-night, we would be tekken down like straws." And how welcome was the small red ray that told of the shepherd's cottage just below the juncture of the Geinig and Aivron.
"Ay, ay, that is better now," Roderick said, with much satisfaction. "That is ferry well now. And since there is nothing to be done till the whole of them get up to feed in the afternoon, we will chist creep aweh into a peat-hag and wait there, and you can have your lunch, sir."
There's one of them is a fine big beast, but he has only the one horn; the other one, his head is not ferry good. But a stag is a stag whatever; and the evening is wearing on. Now come aweh with me, sir." What Roderick meant by getting at them easily Lionel was now to find out; he thought he would never have done with this agonizing stooping and crawling and wading through burns.
"There, he's down again on his knees. Come aweh, sir? we'll go after him. Give me the rifle." Lionel had just time to get a glimpse of the wounded stag, which was stumbling pitifully along far behind its now disappearing companion when he had to descend from the rock in order to follow Roderick.
