Bayne had ordered the phaeton with the intention of himself rousing the country-side and organizing a search when, to his consternation, the two ladies, who had observed the colloguing group, issued on the veranda, frantic with terror, pale and agonized. Both had grasped the fact of disaster, albeit unformulated, yet both hoped against hope. "Take me with you!"
Thurstane, who had kept track of him, immediately took him to his house, first as an invalid hanger-on, and then as a jack of all work. As the family were sitting at breakfast Sweeny's voice was heard in the veranda outside, "colloguing" with another voice which seemed familiar. "Listen," whispered Clara. "That is Captain Glover. Let us hear what they say. They are both so queer!"
"I've been surprised in my time, sir, but I never was knocked so much of a heap as I have been this afternoon." I lit my pipe and waited for him, controlling impatience as best I might. "Now who in the name of wonder, sir," said Hinge, "do you think is down here colloguing together?" "How should I know?" I asked, groaning with impatience.
"The same," said I. "Well, and I can tell ye more than that," said Alan. "For last night, when you were fast asleep, I heard the man colloguing with some one in the French, and then the door of that inn to be opened and shut." "Alan!" cried I, "you slept all night, and I am here to prove it." "Ay, but I would never trust Alan whether he was asleep or waking!" says he. "But the business looks bad.
But any how, Father John, if you'd come back, and yer riverence wouldn't mind for the onst jist sitting it out jist dhrinking a dhrop at an odd time, or colloguing a bit with owld Mr. Tierney, till we get the Captain out of that, shure they'd never be doing anything out of the way as long as yer riverence is in it."
At the same time, no one acknowledged more sincerely than his client the spirit in which those offers had been made by those entitled to make them. But, as a matter of fact here he became the man of the world colloguing with his equals certain er details had come to his client's knowledge since the lamentable outburst, which ... He shrugged his shoulders.
But should all their villainy be once displayed in its true colours and exposed to the people, there never was, is, nor will be any spokesman so sweet-mouthed, whose fine colloguing tongue could save 'em; nor any law so rigorous and draconic that could punish 'em as they deserve; nor yet any magistrate so powerful as to hinder their being burnt alive in their coneyburrows without mercy.
"Don't come here with your imperence!" the cook said, but she was pleased with Dicky's unmeaning compliment all the same. "I see him," said the housemaid. "He was colloguing with the butcher in the yard a bit since. He'd got a brown-paper parcel. Perhaps he got a lift home." So we went and told Father, and about the white present in the parcel.
There were them twa, a' colloguing, and a-seetting ilk in ither's laps a' o'er, and a-keessing, yes, my leddy, a-keessing as females, not to say males, ought nae to keess, unless they be mon and wife, and then not amang the rocks, my leddy; and if his lairdship does nae care to hear tell o' it, and finds it nae tastefu', as your leddyship was saying, he should nae ha' sent for Andy Gowran a' the way from Portray, jist to tell him what he wanna hear, now I'm come to tell't to him!"
"Yes, yes," said Dundee, whose thoughts had evidently been far away, and who was attaching little importance to Jock's groundless fears. "Go on. So you did a bit of scouting, I suppose?" I'm no prepared to say that I could catch a' their colloguing, but I got enough to set me thinkin'. Juist bits, but they could be pieced togither." "Well," said Dundee, with more interest, "what were the bits?"
