The Claimant had removed his, and therefore was presented to the court without any. "How do you know Roger had no tattoo marks?" asked Mr. Hawkins. "I saw his arms on three occasions." This was a serious answer for Bogle. "When and where, and under what circumstances?" followed in quick succession, so that there was no escape.
"And ye didna think it was a spiritual creature, then?" asked Hobbie at his companion. "Who, I? No, surely." "Weel, I am partly of the mind mysell that it may be a live thing and yet I dinna ken, I wadna wish to see ony thing look liker a bogle." "At any rate," said Earnscliff, "I will ride over to-morrow and see what has become of the unhappy being."
"Now listen carefully," said Angus, who had just finished scribbling a despatch. "First of all, you, Bogle, take this message to the telephone, and get it sent to Company Headquarters. Now you others. We will wait till that machine-gun has fired another belt. Then, the moment it has finished, while they are getting out the next belt, I will dash across to the estaminet over there.
O, thou spirit! whatever thou art, or wherever thou makest thyself visible! be thou a bogle by the eerie side of an auld thorn, in the dreary glen through which the herd-callan maun bicker in his gloamin route frae the fauld!
The noise of the room-door closing behind Bogle, as he made his exit with the shoebasket under his arm, roused him thoroughly, and he sat up in bed and looked round the room. What in the world could be the matter with his shoulders and loins? He felt as if he had been severely beaten all down his back the natural results of his performance at his first match.
And on her way back she had seen the ghost or 'bogle' of Deep Crag; the ghost had spoken to her, and she had reached home more dead than alive, having received what she at once recognised as her death sentence. What had she seen? An effect of moonlit mist a shepherd boy bent on a practical joke a gleam of white waterfall among the darkening rocks? What had she heard?
"A brave lad, Hamish," says Dan; "he'll have listened to a' the ghost and bogle and bawkin stories since he could creep, and yet he'll whistle himsel' safe ower the hill and be too proud tae run, an' I'm thinkin' every muircock that craws, and every whaup that cries, out on the peat-hags, will be a bogle in his childish mind."
The battalion moved off. So much for the war-talk of veterans. Now let us listen to the novices. "Bogle," said Angus M'Lachlan to his henchman, "I think we shall have to lighten this Wolseley valise of mine. With one thing and another it weighs far more than thirty-five pounds." "That's a fact, sirr," agreed Mr. Bogle. "It carries ower mony books in the heid of it."
There's no sae muckle harm in the land deils, when a's said and done. Lang syne, when I was a callant in the south country, I mind there was an auld, bald bogle in the Peewie Moss. I got a glisk o' him mysel', sittin' on his hunkers in a hag, as gray's a tombstane. An', troth, he was a fearsome-like taed. But he steered naebody.
The interior of my room was, in nearly every particular, modern. The furniture was not old; there were no grim carvings; no grotesquely-fashioned tapestries on the walls; no dark cupboards; no gloomy corners; all was cosy and cheerful, and when I got into bed no thought of bogle or mystery entered my mind.
