But Tammas tells me that the wright grossly abused his position, by praying at such length that Craigiebuckle fell asleep, and the mistress had to rise and hang the pot on the fire higher up the joist, lest its contents should burn before the return from the funeral. Loury grew the sky, and more and more anxious the face of Little Rathie's daughter, and still Bowie prayed on.
"I'm thinkin'," Jamie said at last, a little wistfully, "that I micht hae been as weel wi' Chirsty." Chirsty was Janet's sister, and Jamie had first thought of her. Craigiebuckle, however, strongly advised him to take Janet instead, and he consented. Alack! heavy wobs have taken all the grace from Janet's shoulders this many a year, though she and Jamie go bravely down the hill together.
"I've heard tell, though," said the sceptical Craigiebuckle, "as Chirsty only cam back to ye because she cudna bear to see the fowk makkin' sae free wi' the whisky." "I mind hoo she bottled it up at ance, and drove the laddies awa'," said Bowie, "an' I hae seen her after that, Tammas, giein' ye up yer fut an' you no sayin' a word."

This beat me, and, I daresay, my face showed it. "I'm no' juist what ye would call anxious to marry Mag noo," said Gavin, without a tremor. I told him to go on. "There's a lassie oot at Craigiebuckle," he explained, "workin' on the farm Jeanie Luke by name. Ye may ha'e seen her?" "What of her?" I asked, severely. "Weel," said Gavin, still unabashed, "I'm thinkin' noo 'at I would rather ha'e her."
