How very gracious has the Lord been to us in this affliction! Many brethren have been sent to us as helpers for a little while brother C-t for the greater part of the time, and brother C-n for more than two months. And, in addition to this, when brother Craik and I were both ill, the brethren were kept in peace, and there was a spirit of prayer among them. December 31.
This evening, when we came home from our work, we found a brother, our tailor, waiting for us, who brought a new suit of clothes both for brother Craik and me, which a brother, whose name was not to be mentioned, had ordered for us. March 8. Our brother brought us this evening also, from the same friend, a new hat for each of us. March 10.
Today dear brother Craik returned from Devonshire, much better in his general health, but not better as it regards his voice. August 24. I feel very weak, and suffer more than before from the disease. I am in doubt whether to leave Bristol entirely for a time. I have no money to go away for a change of air.
Fowle's unhappily-timed appearance was explained by Rachel Craik when her frenzy at the news of Voles's death had subsided. A chuckling remark by Mick the Wolf that "There'd been a darned sight too much fuss about that slip of a girl, an' he had fixed it," alarmed her. She sent Fowle at top speed to Smith's Pier to warn Voles. He arrived in time to be shot for his pains.

As late as the eighth of September he wrote to Doctor Craik, saying: "Though now freed from pain, the wound given by the incision is not yet healed."
A movement was made some years ago in this direction by Mr Craik, who printed in one of Charles Knight's publications a summary of the Faëry Queen, converting the prosaic portions into prose, and giving only the true poetry in the rich and musical verses of Spenser. A travelling companion like this, we venture to assure our clerical friend, would not be pocketed so wearily as the original work.
What a job to get them and nobody to know anything about it except Didon and Madame Craik at the shop in Mount Street! They haven't come yet, but I shall be there whether they come or not. And I shall have all my jewels. I'm not going to leave them behind. They'll go off in our cab. We can get the things out behind the house into the mews. Then Didon and I follow in another cab.
But the door opened. "I have come " she began. The words died away in sheer affright. Glowering at her, with a queer look of gratified menace, was Rachel Craik! "So I see," was the grim retort. "Come in, Winnie, by all means. Where have you been all these weeks?" "There is some mistake," she faltered, white with sudden terror and nameless suspicions. "My agent told me to come here " "Quite right.
The Highland army marches south the beginning of the week. Farewell dear Willie. God bless you! Ever your's Maxwell." "Saturday. I set out before daylight to-morrow." From Mr. Maxwell of Carruchan, to Mr. Craik of Arbigland. Since Lord Nithisdale's name did not appear in the list of the young Chevalier's officers, we must conclude that he did not persevere in his resolutions.
