Come, my good lad, take hold of my arm; I am not a prime support in such a wind but Caxon shall help us out Here, you old idiot, come on the other side of me. And how the deil got you down to that infernal Bessy's-apron, as they call it? Bess, said they?
"Fly with this letter, Caxon," said the senior, holding out his missive, signatum atque sigillatum, "fly to Knockwinnock, and bring me back an answer. Go as fast as if the town-council were met and waiting for the provost, and the provost was waiting for his new-powdered wig." "Ah sir," answered the messenger, with a deep sigh, "thae days hae lang gane by.
Caxon to his patron at Monkbarns, tended much to raise Lovel in the opinion of his former fellow-traveller. "A decent sensible lad," said he to himself, "who scorns to enter into the fooleries and nonsense of these idiot people at Fairport I must do something for him I must give him a dinner; and I will write Sir Arthur to come to Monkbarns to meet him. I must consult my womankind."
"Why," said his uncle, "they said Caxon had gone to Fairport after his dog and gun." "O dear sir, no," answered Miss M'Intyre, "it was to fetch some dressings that were wanted, and Hector only wished him to bring out his gun, as he was going to Fairport at any rate."
Little more than distant greeting passed among the members of the party, until, having rolled on for about three miles beyond the place at which they met, the carriages at length stopped at the sign of the Four Horse-shoes, a small hedge inn, where Caxon humbly opened the door, and let down the step of the hack-chaise, while the inmates of the barouche were, by their more courtly attendants, assisted to leave their equipage.
"Not I, Caxon," said Oldbuck; "fire away as if you were Captain Coquet's whole platoon I can stand it."
"Dear sir, the Captain says a three-nookit hankercher is the maist fashionable overlay, and that stocks belang to your honour and me that are auld warld folk. I beg pardon for mentioning us twa thegither, but it was what he said." "The Captain's a puppy, and you are a goose, Caxon." "It's very like it may be sae," replied the acquiescent barber: "I am sure your honour kens best."
And he lighted the beacon accordingly, which threw up to the sky a long wavering train of light, startling the sea-fowl from their nests, and reflected far beneath by the reddening billows of the sea. The brother warders of Caxon being equally diligent, caught, and repeated his signal.
"Ou, sir, what can they be about but this grand news o' my lord," answered the old man, "that hasna been ower the door-stane, they threep to me, for this twenty years this grand news of his coming to visit your honour?" "Aha!" said Monkbarns; "and what do they say of that, Caxon?" "'Deed, sir, they hae various opinions.
Then, again, the strange successive fashions in this same unnatural, unneedful depilation; look at the vagaries of young France: not to descend also to savage men, and their clumsy shell-scrapings; and to devote but little time to the voluminous topic of wigs, male and female, cavalier and caxon, Marlborough and monstrous maccaroni from the plaited Absalom-looking periwig of a Pharaoh in the British Museum, to Truefitt's last patent self-adjuster.
