The post was important; next to the Hill-end itself, it might be called the key to the position; and it was where the cover was bad, and in which it was most natural to place a child. It should have been Heathercat's; why had it been given to Crozer? An exquisite fear of what should be the answer passed through his marrow every time he faced the question.
His heart beat very slowly as he deserted his station, and began to crawl towards that of Crozer. Something pulled him back, and it was not the sense of duty, but a remembrance of Crozer's build and hateful readiness of fist. Duty, as he conceived it, pointed him forward on the rueful path that he was travelling.
Courage was uppermost during the singing, which he accompanied through all its length with this impromptu strain: "And I will ding Jock Crozer down No later than the day."
The whole clan of them wants hanging, and if I had my way of it, they wouldna want it long. Are you aware, sir, that these Crozers killed your forebear at the kirk-door?

Of all the sins of this day there is not one so God-defying, so Christ-humiliating, as damnable compliance": the boy standing before her meanwhile, and brokenly pursuing other thoughts, mainly of Haddo and Janet, and Jock Crozer stripping off his jacket.
Was it possible that Crozer could have boasted? that there were rumours abroad to his Heathercat's discredit? that his honour was publicly sullied? All the world went dark about him at the thought; he sank without a struggle into the midnight pool of despair; and every time he so sank, he brought back with him not drowned heroism indeed, but half-drowned courage by the locks.
"I'm very sorry, ma'am," said Francie. "I humbly beg the Lord's pardon, and yours, for my wickedness." "H'm," grunted the lady. "Did ye see nobody else?" "No, ma'am," said Francie, with the face of an angel, "except Jock Crozer, that gied me the billet." "Jock Crozer!" cried the lady. "I'll Crozer them! Crozers indeed! What next?
