Robby and I live on `brose' to our breakfast, dinner, and supper, but will you just take a cup of milk? it was fresh this morning, and you may want it after your walk." Fanny gladly accepted the old man's offer, and then looked at Norman. The cup of milk greatly restored her. The old man, without saying a word, brought another and offered it to Norman.
For the second time in so many days we tasted food, a handful of meal to the quaich of water no more and no less; and James Grahame, Marquis of Montrose, supped his brose like the rest of us, with the knife from his belt doing the office of a horn-spoon.
So a' set oot an' ransackit the parish till a' got him, an' gin he wesna sittin' in a bothie takin' brose wi' the plowmen an' expoundin' Scripture a' the time.
I hae a wife and twa wee laddies, They maun hae brose and brats o' duddies; Ye ken yoursel's my heart right proud is I needna vaunt, But I'll sned besoms thraw saugh woodies, Before they want. This was nobly said; and the poet spoke from the heart.
"Ah, well, no not exactly," said Gilmour, drawing in. "But I'll get them right enough for a' that. He'll no get the better o' me." Having grounded unpleasantly on the question of the wages, he thought it best to be off ere the bloom was dashed from his importance, so he shouldered his chest and went. The bodies watched him down the street. "He's a lying brose, that," said the baker.
"I jaloused his keeping his face frae us, and speaking wi' a madelike voice, sae I e'en tried him wi' some tales o" lang syne; and when I spake o' the brose, ye ken, he didna just laugh, he's ower grave for that nowadays, but he gae a gledge wi' his ee that I kend he took up what I said. But what's the matter wi' the man now?"
It was only when at last he had neither rest nor food that he was dispersed not conquered. A lowland Scot is better. With a dish and hot water, and of course the meal and salt, he can make brose, and live and thrive upon it.
"Oh! my, and if they didn't stumble right on the beast!" exclaimed Bumpus, who, not wanting to be left by himself in the tent, had crawled out, after taking a cautious look first. "What a rich joke on Brose and his crowd. I can just see 'em scooting for home for all they're worth. Never catch any of that bunch around our camp again on this trip, that's sure, boys."
He did us one good turn when he frightened that Brose Griffin crowd away, and who knows but what he might repeat?" They came out on the other side of the island, and had seen no sign of any sort of human habitation. On the way back again to the other shore Thad took a different route, so that he believed they would thus cover the better part of the territory that went to make up the lake island.
And now, wife, what for are ye no getting forrit wi' the sowens?" "Never mind, lad," rejoined Jenny, "ye sall hae them in gude time; I ken weel that ye like your brose het." Cuddie fidgeted and laughed with a peculiar expression of intelligence at this repartee, which was followed by a dialogue of little consequence betwixt his wife and him, in which the stranger took no share.
