Recognizing the voices that neared her, she waited until the pair had passed her shelter, and then addressed Cosmo with a familiarity she had not used since his return for which Aggie had her reasons. "Cosmo!" she called, rising as she spoke, "winna ye bide for me? Ye hae a word for twa as weel's for ane. The same sairs whaur baith hae lugs."
And Bertram's right and Bertram's might Shall meet on Ellangowan height. Hae, there's a letter to him; I was gaun to send it in another way.
