He had lived several days in a bothy above the Beannan on High Balantyre, and, like ourselves, depended on his foraging upon the night and the luck of the woods. We lay among the whins and bramble undisturbed till the dusk came on. The rain had stopped, a few stars sedately decked the sky.
"On a search being made their dead bodies were found in the bothy, some considerably mangled, but some were not marked by any wound. "It was visible that this had not been effected by human agency: the bothy was torn from its foundations and scarcely a vestige left of it, and one huge stone, which twelve men could not have raised, was tossed to a considerable distance.
These were all the property of this man, however, who did the reading for the bothy. They did all the cooking for themselves, living largely on milk. In the old days, which the senior could remember, porridge was so universally the morning meal that they called it by that name instead of breakfast. They still breakfast on porridge, but often take tea "above it."
Perhaps at that very moment the Bothy had been taken by storm, and Patsy's quick mind saw Stair and her Uncle Julian lying dead out on the face of the moor, the soldiers who had done the work having no time for even a peat-hag burial. But Kennedy McClure was a strong tower. If he were affected by the message he certainly did not show it.
Little sleep will they get if the snaw begins to drift in the hollows!" Patsy looked at the Princess mischievously. "You see, dear lady," she said, "our Miss Aline knows of worse places than the Bothy of Blairmore, even in such weather." "But I do not understand," said the Princess. "Julian never told me anything of this.
There they had wealth of fuel, abundance of water, and a plentiful choice of solitary places admirably adapted to their purpose; it was easy to rig up a bothy, or hut of turf thatched with heather, in some secluded spot far from the haunts of inconvenient revenue officers, and a Still that would turn out excellent spirit was not difficult to construct.
Mrs Ellis sighed and glanced at her daughter, who was looking wildly from one to the other. "There; I'll get back. Ah! Who's this?" It was Daniel Barnett, who had run up from the bothy; and Ellis hurried out to the door. "What is it?" he cried anxiously. "Old Hannah says, `Will you come on: She don't like the looks of him. He's off his head."
One of the kinsmen was married, and lived in a small frame house, a stone's throw from the main buildings of the farm. The other was the head of the "bothy" or boarding-house for hired men, a long low building, with cheerful white-curtained windows, which could be seen just beyond the cow-house.
Next day he betakes himself to the castle. When he reached the door, a little flattering carlin met him standing in the door. "All hail and good luck to thee, fisher's son! 't is I myself am pleased to see thee; great is the honour for this kingdom, for thy like to be come into it thy coming in is fame for this little bothy; go in first; honour to the gentles; go in, and take breath."
It ran silently, almost oilily, but all the same it followed after, and it was swirling black about Stair Garland's knees as he scrambled up the high platform of the Bothy, at the place where you could dig out the sand and sea-shells of a past age from among the roots of the heather.
