He laughed at her and she laughed in response. "I'm talkin' blether," she said, stumbling over a stone in the road. "Mind!" he warned her, putting out his hand to steady her. "I was nearly down that time," she said. "These roads is awful in the dark ... you can't see where you're goin' or what's in the way!" "No," he replied.
"What's that?" cried Tom suddenly, as he swept the surface of the water, and he pointed to a faint white speck about twenty yards away. "Hey? Why, it is!" cried Dave. "Tek the hook again, Mester Dick, lad; there's a little wind left yet in th' blether, and it's coom oop!" "Let me!" cried Tom. "Shall I do it, lad?" said Dave. "No, let me try this once!" cried Dick. "Or, no; you try, Tom!"
He had never spent a day at school. His family considered him fortunate, however, that he could be an apprentice. The cup that old Mary saw in the tea leaves seemed something more than "blether" when it was noised abroad that Anna and Jamie were to be married. The Gilmores strenuously objected. They objected because they had another career mapped out for Anna.
"But most of the time he's nearer the facts than most of us. It isn't all blether, dear." We sat up late, long after the others had gone to sleep. She read softly a chapter of "Pilgrim's Progress," the chapter in which he is relieved of his burden. I see now that woodcut of a gate and over the gate the words: "Knock and it shall be opened unto you." She had read it before.
"It's jist a hoax, Anna, some oul bitch said it an' th' others cackle it from doore to doore. I've naither wife nor wain, chick nor chile, I ate th' bread ov loneliness an' keep m' own company an' jist bekase I don't blether wi' th' gossoons th' think I'm uncanny. Isn't that it, Jamie, eh!" "Aye, ye're right, Willie, it's quare what bletherin' fools there are in this town!"
"Ay, lads, we will," said Dave, and, plunging his hand into the bucket, he took out a transparent gudgeon, whose soft backbone was faintly visible against the light; then carefully passing the hook through its tough upper lip, he dropped it over the side of the boat into the water directly. "Theer, lads," he said; "now over with that blether."
Only a desert of hills and stones and two-penny half-penny streams a child can walk across; and yet why you'll hear folk blether about it as though heaven would only be a bad substitute." The other laughed. "There is a magic here. It gets into your blood." "So it does. Even a God-forgotten hole like Princetown with nothing to see but the poor devils of convicts.
"You're clean aff the scent a'thegither. There's nae music aboot gomitry triangles ava. They've naething to do wi' music. They're for measurin' an' argeyin' oot things till a conclusion. Flute bands! Sic a blether o' nonsense. I maun lat you see the triangle book. We was haen a bit rin ower the exyems again lest nicht juist. Noo, juist to gie you an idea, Bawbie!
Sir Harry Lauder, interviewed by the Era, gave it as his opinion that both the Grand Duke and the Prince were gowks, who would do well to haud their blether. He himself proposed to go straight to America, where genuine artists were cheered in the streets and entertained at haggis dinners, and not forced to compete with amateur sumphs and gonuphs from other countries.
"Man man!" he echoed, chiding her ignorance; "no, no, you blether, that ain't a man, that's a woman; that's woman woman." "Ooman ooman," the girl repeated, docilely, but when she looked again, "Ma-ma, ma-ma," she insisted, and this was Tommy's first lesson that however young you catch them they will never listen to reason.
