For, of course, Malcolm, fond and faithful as he was, was only a servant; a friend, who was also a gentleman, yet who did not seem to feel or dislike the many small cares and attentions which were necessities to Lord Cairnforth, was quite a different thing.
She's directed it to Charlotte Square, Edinburg, and then carried it up to London wi' hersel', and some other body, the captain, I think, has redirected it to Cairnforth Castle." "No remarks, Malcolm," interrupted the earl, with unwonted sharpness. "Break the seal and lay the letter so that I can read it. Then you may go."
"I do not wish my boy to know the world." "But he must. He ought. Remember his life is likely to be a very different one from either yours or mine." "Do not let us think of that," said Helen, uneasily. "My friend, I have been thinking of it ever since he was born or, at least, ever since he came to Cairnforth.
"He's no that ill the noo, and he'll aiblins grow the better, ye ken; but naibody that comes after will be like him. We'll ne'er see anither Earl o' Cairnforth."

Carry me in your arms the quickest way." Malcolm lifted his master, and carried him, just as in the days when the earl was a child, through the pleasant woods of Cairnforth, up to the Castle door.
I knew nothing but good of the lad; and you liked him too; Helen told me you had specially charged her, if ever she had an opportunity, to be kind to him." Lord Cairnforth almost groaned.
He knew that one of the best qualities the earl possessed most blessed and useful to him, as it is to every human being was the power of making up his own mind, and acting upon it with that quiet resolution which is quite distinct from obstinacy obstinacy, usually the last strong-hold of cowards, and the blustering self-defense of fools.
