With a volcanic heart of love, her outside was always so still and cold! snow on the mountain sides, hot vein-coursing lava within. For her highest duty was submission to the will of God. Ah! if she had only known the God who claimed her submission! But there is time enough for every heart to know him. 'Noo be dooce, she repeated, 'an' sit doon, and tell me aboot the fowk at Bodyfauld.
But, whether from the heat of the sun, or the pain of his foot operating on the general discouragement under which he laboured, Robert turned faint all at once, and dragged himself away to a cottage on the edge of the field. It was the dwelling of a cottar, whose family had been settled upon the farm of Bodyfauld from time immemorial.
Betty laughed for the first time at the awful threat, and the ice once broken, things returned to somewhat of their old footing. I must not linger on these days. The next morning Robert paid a visit to Bodyfauld, and found that time had there flowed so gently that it had left but few wrinkles and fewer gray hairs.
They set out three hours before noon, carrying the great kite, and Robert's school bag, of green baize, full of sundries: a cart from Bodyfauld was to fetch their luggage later in the day.

Robert hesitated no longer, but followed her, heedless of the louder expostulations of MacGregor.
Innes, for his second session. He had fits of wandering, though; visited all the old places; spent a week or two more than once at Bodyfauld; rode Mr.
Grannie's first action every evening, the moment the boys entered the room, was to glance up at the clock, that she might see whether they had arrived in reasonable time. This was not pleasant, because it admonished Robert how impossible it was for him to have a lesson on his own violin so long as the visit to Bodyfauld lasted.
