Gray; "will you come along, Cannie, and have a little drive?" Mrs. Gray's errands seemed to be principally on behalf of her young companion. First they stopped at Seabury's, and after Mrs. Gray had selected a pair of "Newport ties" for herself, she ordered a similar pair for Candace.
"A' cam' on him in the byre, rowing in the strae like a bairn, and every ither row he took he wud say, 'Am I a goat? "It wes na cannie for a man o' his wecht, besides bein' a married man and a kirk member, and a' gied him a hearin'. "He sobered doon, and a' never saw him dae the like since. But he hesna forgot, na, na; a've seen a look come ower Jeems' face in kirk, and a've been feared."
"Oh, I should like to so much." Down they scrambled accordingly, and in another moment were on top of the big rock. It was almost as good as being at sea; for when they turned their backs to the shore nothing could be seen but water and sails and flying birds, and nothing heard but the incessant plash and dash of the waves below. "Oh, how perfectly splendid!" cried Cannie.
There need not be a great piece of everything left over for look's sake. One chicken is enough for four or five people if it is skilfully carved, but the chicken would look rather scanty on a platter by itself; don't you think so?" "Yes," said Cannie, with a little laugh. She had forgotten her troubles in the interest of the discussion.
'Kens ken they, trow ye, Sir Pate? 'Cannie folk, even lassies, can ken mair than they always tell, said the knight of Glenuskie. 'Yonder is my Lord Marquis, as they ca' him; so bethink you weel how you comport yerself with him, and my counsel is to tell him the full truth.
She had just turned an angle of the road, and got consequently out of sight, when he heard a strong, but sweet and mellow voice singing the fine old Irish song of the Cannie Soogah, or Jolly Pedlar; and, on looking behind him, he perceived that worthy person approaching him at a tolerably rapid pace.
Cannie pressed the spring, the lid flew up, and there, on a cushion of blue velvet, lay the prettiest little Swiss watch imaginable, with C. V. A. enamelled on its lid. There was a slender gold chain attached, a little enamelled key, nothing could be more complete. "A watch! for me! to be my own!" cried Candace, hardly able to believe her eyes.
It doesn't cost any more and is no more trouble, and I am sure you like them better, don't you?" "Oh, yes, indeed," replied Cannie, quite relieved by this explanation. "I like pretty things ever so much only I thought I was afraid " She did not know how to finish her sentence. It was a roofless circular tower, supported on round arches.
There must be something botherin' him, for I dinna' mind o' him ever leatherin' one o' ye like that." This was true, for Geordie Sinclair was rather a "cannie" man, and had never been given to beating his children before. She felt that something had happened in the pit, and whatever it was it had made her husband angry.
Many a time, too, have I been gratified, in the same poetical hour, by the sweet sound of honest Ned M'Keown's ungreased cartwheels, clacking, when nature seemed to have fallen asleep after the day-stir and animation of rural business for Ned was sometimes a carman on his return from Dublin with a load of his own groceries, without as much money in his pocket as would purchase oil wherewith to silence the sounds which the friction produced regaling his own ears the while, as well as the music of the cart would permit his melody to be heard, with his favorite tune of Cannie Soogah.*
