Dandie, however, frequently received more money than he required for his necessities, and took to hoarding it up. This was discovered by his master, in consequence of his appearing one Sunday morning with a loaf in his mouth, when it was not likely he would have received a present. Suspecting this, Mr McIntyre told a servant to search his room in which Dandie slept for money.
"Odd, sir," answered the farmer, "we tried that three times already that's twice on the land add ance at Lockerby fair. But I dinna ken we're baith gey good at single-stick, and it couldna weel be judged." "Then take broadswords, and be d-d to you, as your fathers did before you," said the counsel learned in the law. "Aweel, sir, if ye think it wadna be again the law, it's a' ane to Dandie."
'Deil's in the wife, said Dandie Dinmont, shaking off his spouse's embrace, but gently and with a look of great affection; 'deil's in ye, Ailie; d'ye no see the stranger gentleman?
But, my sooth, they will be hard- bitten terriers will worry Dandie; so, as I said, deil hae me if I baulk you. This was uttered in the lowest tone of voice possible. The entrance was now open. Meg crept in upon her hands and knees, Bertram followed, and Dinmont, after giving a rueful glance toward the daylight, whose blessings he was abandoning, brought up the rear.
"Dammit, I've burned my mooth," he ejaculated, spluttering, spitting and wiping his mouth. "But the laddie can rin. He's a fair dandie o' a rinner." "He couldna' rin to catch the cauld," broke in Rundell's admirer, glad to get in a word. "Look at him. Dammit, ye could wheel a barrow oot through his legs. He jist rummles alang like a chained tame earthquake."
"And choose Jock Jabos for your master of horse?" replied the lawyer. "Perhaps I may." "And where is Dandie, the redoubted Lord of Liddesdale?" demanded the advocate. "Returned to his mountains; but he has promised Julia to make a descent in summer, with the good wife, as he calls her, and I don't know how many children." "Oh, the curly-headed varlets!
And his readiness was much admired. The fourth brother, Dand, was a shepherd to his trade, and by starts, when he could bring his mind to it, excelled in the business. Nobody could train a dog like Dandie; nobody, through the peril of great storms in the winter time, could do more gallantly.
But another Dandie came to him, one Christmas morning, to fill the aching void; and for a time again his life is not a dogless one. The present ruler of the household has a pedigree much longer and much straighter than his own front legs. Although he comes from a distinguished line of prize-winning thoroughbreds, he never will be permitted to compete for a medal on his own behalf.
When Dandie Dinmont, after executing two or three caprioles, and cutting the Highland fling, by way of ridicule of his wife's anxiety, at last deigned to sit down and commit his round, black, shaggy bullet of a head to her inspection, Brown thought he had seen the regimental surgeon look grave upon a more trifling case.
'Ou, no mony, said Dandie, scratching his head; 'it's lying high and exposed: it may feed a hog, or aiblins twa in a good year. 'And for this grazing, which may be worth about five shillings a year, you are willing to throw away a hundred pound or two? 'Na, sir, it's no for the value of the grass, replied Dinmont; 'it's for justice.
