"A' body's pleased," said Marget to Lachlan as they sat on the back seat and caught the faces of the people. "This is the first time I have seen the fifteenth of Luke in Drumtochty. It's a bonnie sicht, and a'm thinkin' it's still bonnier in the presence o' the angels." "Flora Cammil's in the kirk the day," and the precentor looked at Carmichael with expectation.
"No," said Leslie, hastily; "I have named her after myself if you do not object," she added, with a flush, half shame, half pride. "I? Oh, no; do as you will. It will not solve Bridget's puzzle; but I am content. Leslie is a bonnie name." Leslie compressed her lip. "My mother's name is bonnier," she said, abruptly; "my mother's name is Alice."
"How long are you going to keep me, then?" "I wadna hae ye bide a meenute langer nor's agreeable to yersel'. But I'm in nae hurry sae lang's ye're afore me. Ye're nae ill to luik at, though ye maun hae been bonnier the day ye wan the hert o' my Grizel." The marquis uttered an oath and left the door. Miss Horn sprang to it, but there was the marquis again.
Very slowly, but still surely, health was coming back to the invalid, and the rest from long pain, and the consciousness of returning strength, were making the bright day and the fair scene more beautiful to her. As for him, he could only look at her with thankful joy. "I never saw this bonny place bonnier than it is to-day, and so sweet, and quiet, and homelike.
And he praised the father of men, that the very backslidings of those he loved had brought about their repentance and uplifting. "Here I am!" he cried as he entered the house. "I hae seen the lassie ance mair, and she's better and bonnier nor ever!" "Ow ay; ye're jist like a' the men I ever cam across!" rejoined Marion smiling; " easy taen wi' the skin-side!"
How deep a blush was burning on her cheeks! How her eyes were sparkling with diabolic exultation! With light, inaudible steps she now crossed the room again, and resumed her seat at the desk. And it was fortunate that she had done so, for steps were approaching in the adjoining room; the door opened, and Bonnier entered.
Four of them rushed toward the carriage in order to search it and to take out all papers, valuables, and trunks; the two others searched and undressed the warm corpse of Bonnier with practised hands. Then the six hussars rushed after their comrades toward the third carriage toward Jean Debry. But the others had already outstripped them.
I dinna ken but yours is the bonnier name o' the twa gien it be what Mr Graham tells me the auld poet Chaucer maks o' 't." "What is that?" "Ow, jist the een o' the day. the day's eyes, ye ken. They're sma' een for sic a great face, but syne there's a lot o' them to mak up for that. But saw ye ever sic reid anes, or ony sic a size, my leddy?" "I don't think I ever did.
For your sake, I forgot the portfolio with those other papers, and dropped it on the floor there. Do you now perceive your power over me? For I believe I told you that the loss of those papers would ruin me irretrievably." "Yes, you told me so," said Victoria, smiling. "And yet I forgot them here!" exclaimed Bonnier, stooping to pick them up. But Victoria immediately rose and hastened to him.
Bonnier looked up to her with a triumphant smile. "You are mine, then, Victoria," he said, "for you shall have those papers! I surrender that infamous and treacherous man to your revenge!" She stretched out her hands toward him with a cry of boundless joy. "Give me the papers," she exclaimed; "give them to me, and I will thank you as only love is able to thank!"
