"God forbid!" said Edie, forgetting in his confusion to whom he was speaking; "I am only the king's bedesman and your honour's, as I said before."
"Really, sir, I dinna feel myself called on to remember," replied the cautious bedesman. "Or whether, in the course of that day or night," continued the magistrate, "you saw Steven, or Steenie, Mucklebackit? you knew him, I suppose?" "O, brawlie did I ken Steenie, puir fallow," replied the prisoner; "but I canna condeshend on ony particular time I have seen him lately."
"The Lord bless your honour," began the Blue-Gown, with the genuine mendicant whine, "and long life to you! weel pleased am I to hear that young Captain M'Intyre is like to be on his legs again sune Think on your poor bedesman the day." "Aha, old true-penny!" replied the Antiquary.
Such a relinquishment had never occurred before in all the warden's experience; and he was very much inclined to be offended. 'I must say that for a man not to be satisfied as a bedesman of St Sepulchre's argues a very wrong state of mind, and a very ungrateful heart.
Butterby could tell us no more than we already know; we will pay a short visit to Mr. Stephen Bywater. That gentleman stood in the cloisters, into which he had seduced old Jenkins, the bedesman, having waited for the twilight hour, that he might make sure no one else would be there.
He was stronger, too, in body, more capable of the day-after-day walks that were required of him. He had saved some money from his allowance as bedesman and from his pension, and might occasionally have taken an outside place on a coach, had it not been that he shrank from the first look of every stranger upon his disfigured face.
As he was passing the porter's lodge, who should he see in it but his father, old Jenkins, the bedesman, holding a gossip with Ketch; and they saw him. "If that ain't our Joe a-going past!" exclaimed the bedesman. Joe stepped in. He was proceeding to join in the converse, when a lot of the college boys tore along, hooting and shouting, and kicking a ball about.
That of Lovel was more true, and M'Intyre reeled and fell. The grasp of old Ochiltree, who had appeared on the scene, roused Lovel to movement, and leaving M'Intyre to the care of a surgeon, he followed the bedesman into the recesses of the wood, in order to get away by boat the following morning.
"Goot Maister Edies Ochiltrees" "Edie Ochiltree, nae maister your puir bedesman and the king's," answered the Blue-Gown. "Awell den, goot Edie, what do you think of all dis?" "Indeed, Edie, mine honest friends, dat is very true; only I did not know, dat is, I was not sure, where to find the gelt myself."
"Dell be in my feet then," answered the bedesman sturdily; "if ye gang, I'll gang too; for between the twa o' us, we'll hae mair than wark eneugh to get to the tap o' the heugh." "No, no stay you here and attend to Miss Wardour you see Sir Arthur is quite exhausted." "Stay yoursell then, and I'll gae," said the old man; "let death spare the green corn and take the ripe."
