And I think you will find a balance on the right side. God speed you, Mr. Garvald. I love your sober folly." I had scarcely left him when I met a servant of the Blairs, who handed me a letter.

Mr. Menzies died in 1843. February 1. I feel a return of the cursed rheumatism. How could it miss, with my wetting? Also feverish, and a slight headache.

"You Blairs, you're all like him not like Father Bonot." "Like who?" asked Alexina. "Like Mr. Henderson. You Blairs and Mr. Henderson would have pulled aside your skirts so my mother could have caught me and whipped me."
Lads from all Galloway were there, shock-headed Vikings, with far-looking blue eyes, from Kirkmaiden to Leswalt, black, hook-nosed Blairs and McCallums from Garlieston sat beside Rerrick and Colvend men with deep-set eyes, the fine flower of the Free Trade, men whose forefathers had run cargoes for a hundred and thirty years into the same ports, and refused King's service for many thousand, though perfectly obedient to their own lords and war committees.
