'Her hert's sae sair it gars her greit. She canna help greitin, puir dauty! Phemy lifted her face from Kirsty's bosom, where, like a miserable child, she had been pressing it hard, and, seeming to have lost in the depth of her grief all her natural shyness, looked at Steenie with the most pitiful look ever countenance wore: her rage had turned to self-commiseration.
It's a sair hert ye hae as weel as me i' yer body this nicht; and we maun beir ane anither's burdens! The dauty may lie as we hae laid her, the nicht throuw, and naething said: there's little to be dene for her; she's a bonny clean corp as ever was, and may weel lie a week afore we put her awa'! There's no need for ony to watch her; tyke nor baudrins 'ill never come near her.

The next morning James was in the field with the rest long before the sun was up.
"That's true, my dauty; but to ken is no aye to un'erstan'; and even to un'erstan' is no aye to see richt intil't! No wuman's safe that hasna the love o' God, the great Love, in her hert a' the time! What's best in her, whan the vera best's awa, may turn to be her greatest danger.
'He promised, did he, 'at he would promise the nicht? Eh, Francie! Francie! ye're no yer father's son! He promised to promise to merry ye! Eh, ye puir gowk o' a bonny lassie! 'Gien I met him the nicht ay, it cam to that. All Kirsty's inborn motherhood awoke. She turned to her, and, clasping the silly thing in her arms, cried out 'Puir wee dauty!
