"He may have started before it came on to blow like this," said Lady Florimel. Malcolm liked the suggestion the less because of its probability, believing, in that case, he should have arrived long ago.
Moncrieffe as the last 'blaw' faded into silence, and Jean Dalziel came upstairs to say that they could seldom get a quiet moment for family prayers, because we were always at the piano, hurling incendiary sentiments into the air, sentiments set to such stirring melodies that no one could resist them.
