I never heard that before!" and Grizzie would answer, "I daursay no, sir. Hoo sud ye than? I had forgotten't mysel'!" Here is one of the stories Grizzie told them.
'I daursay now, that stick's standing aboot a thousand years: I've counted fourteen hunder rings in the wood of a pine no much bigger. Ou, 'twill mak a gran' mast for a seventy-four nigh a hunder feet lang, and as straight as a rod.
"Eh, mither!" said Nicie, shocked at the idea of her reproaching herself about anything concerning her children, "I'm weel sure there's no ane o' them wad think, no to say say, sic a thing." "I daursay ye're richt there, lass. I think whiles a woman's bairns are like the God they cam frae aye ready to forgie her onything." Ginevra went home with a good many things to think about.
There's ane or twa great men, I daursay whiles comes doon frea Lon'on, to smell hoo he's gettin' on wi' 's stinks, but deil a neebor comes nigh the hoose. Ow, he's a great man, I mak nae doobt, awa' frae hame!
"Weel, ye canna deny," persisted Phemy, in mood to brave the evil one himself, "'at ye was ower at Kirkbyres on ane o' the markis's mears, an' heild a lang confab wi' the laird's mither!" "I gaed upo' my maister's eeran'," answered Malcolm. "Ow, ay! I daursay! But wha kens wi' sic a mither!" She burst out crying, and ran into the street. Malcolm understood it now.
I daursay you think I was keeking, but if I was I stoppit it when the piano stoppit; it was a hard thing to me to do, and it would hae been an easy thing no to do, but I wouldna spy upon Elspeth in her great hour." "I like you for that, Aaron," Tommy said; but Aaron waved his likes aside. "The reason I stood at the door," he continued, "was to keep you out o' that room.
But me! na, deil haet o' me!" "She is penitent at least," said M'Brair. "Do you mean to actually up and tell me to my face that she accused me?" cried the curate. "I canna just say that," replied M'Brair. "But I rebuked her in the name of God, and she repented before me on her bended knees." "Weel, I daursay she's been ower far wi' the dragoons," said Haddo. "I never denied that.
"Ou, I left him speakin' to Gavin Birse," said Leeby. "I daursay he's awa to some hoose." Na, he would think it boastfu'." I sat down to a book by the kitchen fire; but, as Leeby became communicative, I read less and less. While she spoke she was baking bannocks with all the might of her, and Jess, leaning forward in her chair, was arranging them in a semicircle round the fire.
"She wadna, gien she hadna seen I was gaein' straucht til her father!" returned Agnes. "I daursay; but God only kens hoo to mak the true differ 'atween what we du o' oorsel's, an' what we're gart. We maun hae mercy, an' i' the meantime she's ashamed eneuch. At least she has the luik o' 't." "It's ae thing to be ashamed 'cause ye hae dune wrang, an' anither to be ashamed 'cause ye're f'un' oot!"
It was joy was in the creature's heart, the joy o' hell, I daursay: joy whatever. Nae doubt they burn for it muckle in hell, but they have a grand time here of it, whatever! and the Lord forgie us! Weel, at the hinder end, we saw the wee flag yirk up to the mast- heid upon the harbour rocks. That was a' Sandie waited for. He up wi' the gun, took a deleeberate aim, an' pu'd the trigger.
