"I dinna ken, 'cep it was 'at I was fule eneuch to fin' the place gey eerie like." "Aha!" said the marquis. "You've had enough of it! You won't try it again!" "What 's that ye say, my lord?" rejoined Malcolm.
He gave her the key of the tunnel, hinted that she might leave the two to themselves for a while, and returned to his friends in the drawing-room. Having begged them to excuse him for a little while, and desired Mrs. Courthope to serve luncheon for them, he ran to his grandfather, dreading lest any other tongue than his own should yield him the opened secret.
They were all so busy that Courthope had little to do; he stood aside, wondering above all at the way they rubbed the man with the snow, and at the astonishment that Madge expressed.

Madge walked straight on into his room, where Madam Morin was again opening the window-shutters. 'They say, said Madge to Courthope, 'that you have had an accomplice, and that he is gone again; they saw his snow-shoe tracks. He begged her to make sure that the man was gone, to let him look at the tracks himself and then to search the house thoroughly.
