"Here it is, clean forgotten and dune with!" thought Mr. Bishopriggs. "Noo what would a fule do, if he fund this? A fule wad light his pipe wi' it, and then wonder whether he wadna ha' dune better to read it first. And what wad a wise man do, in a seemilar position?" He practically answered that question by putting the letter into his pocket.
Discovery was, nevertheless, advancing on Bishopriggs from a quarter which had not been included in his calculations. Glenarm were the letters between Geoffrey and herself, which she had lost at Craig Fernie, and bent on clearing up the suspicion which pointed to Bishopriggs as the person who was trying to turn the correspondence to pecuniary account.
"Hide myself?" "What will he think if he sees you with me?" He was Blanche's guardian, and he believed Arnold to be at that moment visiting his new property. What he would think was not difficult to foresee. Arnold turned for help to Mr. Bishopriggs. "Where can I go?" Mr. Bishopriggs pointed to the bedroom door. "Whar' can ye go? There's the nuptial chamber!" "Impossible!" Mr.
You have only to say, Wait, by the bearer and I shall understand that I am to stay where I am till I hear from you again." Anne looked up from the message. "Ask him to wait," she said; "and I will send word to him again." "Wi' mony loves and kisses," suggested Mr. Bishopriggs, as a necessary supplement to the message. "Eh! it comes as easy as A. B. C. to a man o' my experience.
There was a vacant space, of no inconsiderable dimensions, left in the decanter. Mr. Bishopriggs gravely filled it up from the water-bottle. "Eh! it's joost addin' ten years to the age o' the wine. The turtle-doves will be nane the waur and I mysel' am a glass o' sherry the better. Praise Providence for a' its maircies!"
"Won't he be afraid if he has stolen the letter to tell you he has got it?" "Very well put, my child. He might hesitate with other people. But I have my own way of dealing with him and I know how to make him tell Me. Enough of Bishopriggs till his time comes. There is one other point, in regard to Miss Silvester. I may have to describe her. How was she dressed when she came here?
"May a' the tribe o' editors, preenters, paper-makers, news-vendors, and the like, bleeze together in the pit o' Tophet!" With this devout aspiration internally felt, not openly uttered Bishopriggs put on his spectacles, and read the passage pointed out to him.
But she had no money left; and there were no friends, in the circle at Swanhaven, to whom she could apply, without being misinterpreted, for a loan of ten pounds, to be privately intrusted to her on the spot. Under stress of sheer necessity Blanche abandoned all hope of making any present appeal of a pecuniary nature to the confidence of Bishopriggs.
Advancing a few steps to look at his man more closely, Bishopriggs was instantly detected by the quick eye of the trainer. "Hullo!" cried Perry, "what do you want here?" Bishopriggs opened his lips to make an excuse. "Who the devil are you?" roared Geoffrey. The trainer answered the question out of the resources of his own experience. "A spy, Sir sent to time you at your work."
