I thank God that I haena had to shue the birds and the beasts aff o' his bonny wee body! It micht hae been, but for you, my bonnie lass! and for you, sir!" she went on, turning to the soutar. Maggie caught the child from her offering arms, and held up his little face for his mother to kiss; and so held him until, for the moment, Isy's mother-greed was satisfied.
In the pageant of our history there are few more attractive figures than that of "Bonnie Prince Charlie," the "yellow-haired laddie" whose blue eyes made a slave of every woman who came under their magic, and whose genial, unaffected manners turned the veriest coward into a hero, ready to follow him to the death in that year of ill-fated romance, "the forty-five."
"Young Davie was the brawest lad In a' the Lairnie Glen, An' Jennie was the bonniest lass That e'er stole hearts o' men; But Davie was a cotter's lad, A lad o' low degree, An' Jennie, bonnie, sonsie lass, A highborn lass was she."

But Louise was not left even now without the solace of a man's love, which seemed as indispensable to her nature as the air she breathed.
"I want you to love her, too," says she to her ma. And then Old Lady Kimberly she taken Bonnie Bell in her arms and kissed her some more; and the kid, like enough, come near to spilling over then. "Come right in and have a cup of tea," says she. So they went into the house, and the Kimberlys' sad man, which was named William, too, brought them some tea.
She is budding into a very rose of beauty! I bought her a ring with a shining stone in it, and a gold brooch, and a bonnie piece of white muslin with the lace for the trimming of it; and the joy of the little beauty set me laughing with delight. I would not call the Queen my cousin, this night." "Sophy ought to love you with all her heart and soul, Andrew." "She does.
