Heard ye ever the like, to rin awa' frae his new-made wife afore the blessin's been weel spoke; an' a' for the whimsie of that daft English lassie that made siccan a piece of work wi' her cantrips." "I am afraid she is right now," said the Colonel, "and my brother must not be left any longer."
Gillian did not feel at all in a mood for cantrips as she slowly walked up the broad staircase, and was ushered into the dressing- room, cheerful with bright fire and April sunshine, and with a large comfortable sofa covered with a bright rug, where Kalliope could enjoy both window and fire without glare.
At first things did not seem favorable, for he went over all the deep, smooth water without moving a fin; in fact, he had fished almost right to the end of the pool, when, in the very act of recovering his line, he got hold of something. And very soon he found that he had got hold of a very lively something; for the cantrips which this small salmon played were most extraordinary.
The Cantrips and the Greshams would feel that he was a friend doubly valuable, if he could be won back; and Mr. Monk would greet him as a fitting ally, an ally strong with the strength which he had before wanted. With whom would he not be equal? Whom need he fear? Who would not praise him? The story of his poor Mary would be known only in a small village, out beyond the Channel.
Mistress Garth came by in the evening, and stood in the road opposite to look at the north leets. 'Come, Sarah, says auld Wilson, 'show us yan of thy cantrips; I divn't care for thee. But he'd scarce said it when a whirlblast came frae the fell and owerturn't iv'ry cock. Then Sarah she laughed oot loud, and she said, 'Ye'll want na mair cantrips, I reckon. She was reet theer."
Never mind though, I will be upsides with him yet. 'Had not you once a tenement in the Covenant Close? again demanded Nanty. 'And do you not remember that you had a poor old lady for your tenant, Mrs. Cantrips of Kittlebasket? said Nanty, suppressing his emotion with difficulty. 'Remember!
"Och! but I dinna doot there will be something in the stone," said my father, who, at the mention of the dominie's belief, cast away all questioning. "And it will not be the first time I have heard of such cantrips." And he told us of a man named Willie Reoch, a fisherman, who was preserved from the great Bore of Papa Westray in some such way.
Sometimes the spluichdan will erect its bristles almost perpendicularly, while, at other times, it reclines them even down; one time it resembles a bristly sow, at another time a sleekit cat; and what dead skin, except itself, could perform such cantrips? Happy in the prospect of making a good bargain, and never suspecting any duplicity, he instantly complied.
"For everything I did was a fault except just I would be sitting at home with my old mother, and so I just fell in wi' McGilp, and left the lassies to claver among themsel's for a year or two, for they will have too many cantrips for a simple man."
But he had, doubtless, so far succeeded in his plans; for he possessed a most unenviable fame for all sort of cantrips and sorceries; and the wandering beggar would rather have solicited a bit of bread from the iron hand of misery itself, than ventured near Ballochgray to ask his awmous. "I winna gang near that fearfu place, Geordie!" again cried Marion.
