Now, if he was taking it up in this way, he wad set up the tother's birse, and maybe do mair ill nor gude he's done that twice or thrice about thae mine-warks; ye wad thought Sir Arthur had a pleasure in gaun on wi' them the deeper, the mair he was warned against it by Monkbarns." "What say you then," said Lovel, "to letting Miss Wardour know the circumstance?"
"Ou, I left him speakin' to Gavin Birse," said Leeby. "I daursay he's awa to some hoose." Na, he would think it boastfu'." I sat down to a book by the kitchen fire; but, as Leeby became communicative, I read less and less. While she spoke she was baking bannocks with all the might of her, and Jess, leaning forward in her chair, was arranging them in a semicircle round the fire.
"Ay, Rob," said Chirsty, genially, for gossip levels ranks, "you're just in time to hear a query about the minister." "Rob," said the Glen Quharity post, from whom I subsequently got the story, "Mr. Dishart has fallen in in what do you call the thing, Chirsty?" Birse knew well what the thing was called, but the word is a staggerer to say in company. "In love," answered Chirsty, boldly.
I spoke to him after the sermon, and I says, just to see if he was properly humbled, 'Ay, Tammas, I says, 'them that discourse was preached against, winna think themselves seven feet men for a while again. 'Ay, Birse, he answers, 'and glad I am to hear you admit it, for he had you in his eye. I was fair scunnered at Tammas the day." "Mr.
"It's mair likely," said Chirsty, "to be the factor at the Spittal's lassie. The factor has a grand garden, and that would account for such basketfuls o' flowers." "Whaever she is," said Birse, "I'm thinking he could hae done better." "I'll be fine pleased wi' ony o' them," said Tibbie, who had a magenta silk, and so was jealous of no one.
I could tell how the doctor, a man whose shoulders often looked as if they had been caught in a shower of tobacco ash, brought me the news to the school-house, and now, when I crossed the fields to dumfounder Waster Lunny with it, I found Birse, the post, reeling off the story to him as fast as a fisher could let out line.
"Na," was the first remark of Leeby's that came between me and my book, "it is no new furniture." "But there was three cart-loads o't, Leeby, sent on frae Edinbory. Tibbie Birse helpit to lift it in, and she said the parlour furniture beat a'." "Ou, it's substantial, but it is no new.
Besides, ye can then go an' give him in charge of Capting Montague. But if ye try to prewent the escape bein' attempted, Henry will take the bloody way of it; for I tell you, his birse is up, an' no mistake." "How many men are to be with Gascoyne?" asked Thorwald, who, had he not been naturally a stupid man, must have easily seen through this clumsy attempt to blind him.
"Him," said her man, "that is forced by a foolish woman to wear genteel 'lastic-sided boots canna forget them till he takes them aff. Whaur's the extra reverence in wearing shoon twa sizes ower sma?" "It mayna be mair reverent," suggested Birse, to whom Elspeth's kitchen was a pleasant place, "but it's grand, and you canna expect to be baith grand and comfortable."
"The thing can be explained in no other way," said her husband, doggedly, "if he was weel and in sound mind." "Maybe the dominie can clear it up," suggested the post, "him being a scholar."
