Bobby made a tour of the sheepfold, the cowyard and byre, and he lingered behind the byre, where Auld Jock had played with him on Sabbath afternoons. He inspected the dairy, and the poultry-house where hens were sitting on their nests. By and by he trotted around the house and came upon the lassie, busily clearing winter rubbish from her posie bed.
Many take the disease that are never suspected. I had a bullock showing some symptoms of the disease in a byre amongst ten. The others were, to all appearance, in perfect health. I sent them immediately to London. My salesman was instructed to inspect the carcasses after they were slaughtered, and to report.
'If thou hadst remembered how I thatched the byre, thou wouldst have given me my share, cooed the golden pigeon again; and as he spoke three more grains fell, and for the third time they were eaten by the silver pigeon. 'If thou hadst remembered how I got the magpie's nest, thou wouldst have given me my share, cooed the golden pigeon.

And was Nancy, the cow, still i' the byre? And did the bees still give the same bonnie hiney, and were the red apples still in the far orchard? Ay, Meg had thocht o' him that autumn, and ran to fetch them with her apron to her face, to come back smiling through her tears.

Mither! The coo has calved, an' it's a cuddy!"

An I had kend, I wad hae gien him my ain bed, and sleepit in the byre or he had gane up by; but it canna be helpit now. The neist thing's to get him cannily awa the morn, and I judge he'll be in nae hurry to come back again." "My puir maister!" said Cuddie; "and maun I no speak to him, then?" "For your life, no," said Jenny.
