It seems that they had recognised two of our neighbours on the road one Faa, and another by the name of Gillies. Whether there was an old feud between them still unsettled I could never learn; but Sim and Candlish were prepared for every degree of fraud or violence at their hands.
Candlish and Sim were all very well in their way, and I do sincerely trust I should have been at some pains to help them, had there been nothing else. But in truth my heart and my eyes were set on quite another matter, and I received the news of their tribulation almost with joy.
Ivy, said Sim, 'this is a maitter entirely between Candlish and me and the auld wife, Gilchrist. You had naething to say to it; weel, ye can have naething to do with it, then. 'My good man, said I, 'I can allow myself to be placed in no such ridiculous position. Mrs. Gilchrist is nothing to me, and I refuse to be her debtor.
We two shall have to be off to the Low Countries in another half hour. How about messengers to the West? You, Lane, are tied here to your regiment. Falk, how about you, Falk?" "No, your Majesty," said Falk. "There's danger in sending me. I'm suspected. I'm known to be in your interests." "You, then, Candlish," said the Duke to the man with the eyebrows. "Not me, Sire," said Candlish.
It seems absurd to mention love in connection with so ugly and snuffy a couple; at least, their trust was absolute; and they entertained a surprising admiration for each other's qualities; Candlish exclaiming that Sim was 'grand company! and Sim frequently assuring me in an aside that for 'a rale, auld, stench bitch, there was nae the bate of Candlish in braid Scotland. The two dogs appeared to be entirely included in this family compact, and I remarked that their exploits and traits of character were constantly and minutely observed by the two masters.
Forbye that, he would be in raither a hobble himsel', if he was to gang hame wantin' Faa. Folk are awfu' throng with their questions, and parteecularly when they're no wantit. 'That's a fac', said Candlish. I considered this prospect ruefully; and then making the best of it, 'Upon all which accounts, said I, 'the best will be to get across the border and there separate.
And even some latter-day writers have not hesitated to express their views on the subject, agreeing with the earlier orthodox brethren. For instance, Dr. R.S. Candlish has said, "You live again in the body, in the very body, as to all essential properties, and to all practical intents and purposes, in which you live now.
I shall be four weeks here yet at least: and so I shall expect to hear from you; welcome sense, welcome nonsense. I am, with the warmest sincerity, R. B. Candlish married Miss Smith, one of the six belles of Mauchline. Their son was the Rev. Dr. Candlish, of Free St.

'Weel, says he, 'I aye said he was a gentleman! 'Man Sim, said I, 'that was just what Mr. St. Ivey said of yourself!" "So it was a case of 'Compliments fly when gentlefolk meet." "No, no, Mr. Ducie, man Sim and man Candlish are gone out of your life, and a good riddance!
