Ha, ha, ha! Ah! these were merry days!" "Hout awa', auld carle," said the old dame, "to speak sic daffing to young folk. But, Jean fie, woman, dinna ye hear the bairn greet? I'se warrant it's that dreary weid has come ower't again."
"So be it," said Ralph; "depart for a little while, friends." So they went but Ursula lay in the bed, which was in a nook in the wall; the man looked about the chamber and said: "Is there any one in the bed?" "Yea," said Ralph, "my wife, good fellow; shall she go also?" "Nay," said the carle, "we shall do as we are now. So I will begin my tale."
On the day before the battle took place, Surrey, that "auld crooked carle," as James called him, marched his men northward across the Till and encamped for the night near Barmoor Wood.
The grandfather of the subject of this sketch Claude-Joseph Vernet studied in Rome, and became a distinguished marine painter under the reign of Louis XV., who commissioned him to paint a series of pictures. Carle Vernet, the father of Horace Vernet, was also an artist. When quite young, he fell violently in love with the daughter of an opulent furnisher.
'No, sir, the name of Godfrey Bertram of Ellangowan is not in the last commission, though there's scarce a carle in the country that has a plough-gate of land, but what he must ride to quarter- sessions and write J.P. after his name.
And ae day at the spaw-well below the craig at Gilsland she was seeing a very bonny family o' bairns they belanged to ane Mac-Crosky and she broke out "Is not it an odd like thing that ilka waf carle in the country has a son and heir, and that the house of Ellangowan is without male succession?"
Seest thou now, licentious wight? That, to us, yon flaring sun Is the Heidelbergers' tun; Castles, mountains, trees, and towers, Seem like chopin-cups of ours. Learn'st thou now, licentious wight? Learn it in the stocks aright! Twirl him! twirl him! blind and dumb, Deaf and dumb, Twirl the carle so troublesome!
"Did you need it?" Kranath repeated. "It seems to me that you had already made the choice." "Ruhar," Carle said gently, "you have been both Ranger and Cor'naya, earning high status in both societies, and Daria was right when she told you that was vital to peace. Tell me, though: would that have been enough?
Now it is no nay that thitherward he turned, and went wisely, lest the carle should make a backward cast, and see him, or lest any straggler of his own folk might happen upon him. For to say sooth, he deemed that did they wind him, they would be like to let him of his journey.
Wilt thou that I ask this labouring carle a thing or two?" "Yea," said the King. And there came, as it were, a cloud of thought over his face. Then the captain straddled his legs and looked big, and said to the carle: "Good fellow, how long have we been working here?" "Two hours or thereabout, judging by the sun above us," says he.
