And the joy of Jock and Bauldie at this cheerful prospect was rather a testimony to their faith in Peter's varied ability than a proof of sympathy with their fellow-creatures. If Speug was playing the fox he gave no sign on the way to the woods, for he was a model of propriety and laid himself out to be agreeable.
"Ay, very true, Bauldie, but that was in the time o' the blackfaces they believed a hantle queer things in thae days, that naebody heeds since the lang sheep cam in." "The mair's the pity, the mair's the pity," said the old man.
It remained a mystery, and when Jock and Bauldie tailed off at the bridge, and Speug, halfway across, turned round and winked again, it was with regret that they betook themselves to their kites, and more than once they found themselves casting longing glances to the distant woods, where Speug was now pursuing the study of botany.
"Gosh!" exclaimed Bauldie, and he liberated the feeling of the class, who understood that their enemy had been delivered into their hands, and that Peter McGuffie their own Speug had been the means thereof. Yet could it be the case? Yes!
There was naebody else living within twal' miles o' the line, barring a taxman, a lamiter, and a bauldie."
