"Thank goodness, na!" said Sam, which at first I thought rather a poor compliment; but I saw the next minute that it was the answer to my first question. "Mrs Kezia's gone nowhere. Nor they dinna want ye back at Brocklebank nae mair. I'm come to ha'e a care of ye till London town. The Lord grant I win hame safe mysel' at after!" "Is the country so disturbed, Sam?" said Flora.
My Uncle will go with us himself to Hawick, and then Sam will go on with us to Carlisle, where we are to wait one day, while Sam rides over to Brocklebank to fetch and exchange such things as we may need, and if we can hear of any friend of Father's or my Uncle's who is going south, we are to join their convoy.
"Father would care a great deal; and if I understood it, I dare say I might. But I don't, you see." "What do I hear!" cried Angus, in mock horror, clasping his hands, and casting up his eyes. "The daughter of Squire Courtenay of Brocklebank knows next to nothing about Toryism! Hear it, O hills and dales!"
"Ye'll be wiser lassies, young leddies, gin ye're no ower ready to say it," said Elspie, coolly. "It was no ane o' your white days when she came to Brocklebank Fells. Ay, weel, weel! The Lord's ower a'." As we went down the road, I said to Sophy, "What did old Elspie mean, do you suppose?" "I am afraid I can guess what she meant, Cary."
It is true Jane does right, and exerts great moral strength; but it is the strength of a mere heathen mind which is a law unto itself.... She has inherited the worst sin of our fallen nature the sin of pride." Jane, you see, should have sinned to show her Christian humility. The style, if not the reasoning, is pure Brocklebank.
Only, what was there in the air of Abbotscliff which seemed to make people Christians? or in that of Brocklebank, which seemed unfavourable to it? "Those are Christians who follow Christ," said Annas. "Do you think they who do not, have a right to the name?" "I should like to think more about it," I answered. "It all looks strange to me." "Do think about it," replied Annas.
I don't believe she cares a pin for him, though I dare say she likes well enough to be the Squire's lady, and queen it at Brocklebank. Somehow, I cannot trust those tawny eyes, with their sidelong glances. Am I very wicked, or is she? Will things never give over happening?
I knew something was coming, and I felt quite sure that it was something disagreeable; but I could not form an idea what it was. "Girls," said my Aunt Kezia, "I think you may as well hear at once that I am going to leave Brocklebank." I fairly gasped in astonishment. Brocklebank without my Aunt Kezia! It sounded like hearing that the sun was going out of the sky.
On the 24th of April, Lieutenant Jacobs acknowledges the receipt of his charge as Captain, in place of Captain Brocklebank, and informs the Governor and his Council that his company consists of about forty-six men, a portion of whom were left at Marlboro' by Captain Wadsworth.
On the 27th of March, Lieutenant Jacobs, of Captain Brocklebank's company, with forty soldiers, one half of whom were Sudbury men, attacked a party of 300 sleeping Indians, and disabled thirty of them without the loss of a man. The news of the attack upon Marlboro' early furnished by Captain Brocklebank induced the Council to order Captain Wadsworth of Milton, with about fifty men, to its relief.
