Surely the part of every superior is to help the life in the lower! Once the question arose, in their assembly of three and a bird, whose leg Dawtie had put in splints, what became of the creatures when they died. They concluded that the sparrow that God cared for must be worth caring for; and they could not believe He had made it to last only such a little while as its life in this world.
If a man worships God, he loves Him so that no love can come between him and God; if the earth were removed, and the mountains cast into the midst of the sea, it would be all one to him, for God would be all the same. Is it not so, sir?" "You are a good girl, Dawtie, and I approve of every word you say.
"Ye h'avenly idiot," cried Andrew. "Wull ye be my wife, or wull ye no?" Dawtie threw her shapely arms above her head straight up, her head fell back, and she seemed to gaze into the unseen. Then she gave a gasp, her arms dropped to her sides, and she would have fallen had not Andrew taken her. "Andrew! Andrew!" she sighed, and was still in his arms. "Winna ye, Dawtie?" he whispered.
As she sat there one morning alone, brooding a little, thinking a little, reading a little, and praying through it all, Meg appeared, and said Maister Andrew wanted to see her. He had called more than once to inquire after Dawtie, but had not before asked to see her mistress. Alexa felt herself unaccountably agitated. When he walked into the room, however, she was able to receive him quietly.
"I'll wait, sir," said Dawtie, distressed at his suffering, and more distressed that he could lie who never forgot his prayers! Alas, he was further down the wrong road than she had supposed! Ashamed for his sake, and also for her own, to look him in the face for did he not imagine she believed him, while she knew that he lied? she turned her back on him.
Andrew seldom gave her a book to learn from; in general he copied, in his clearest handwriting, whatever poem or paragraph he thought fit for Dawtie; and when they met, she would not unfrequently, if there was time, repeat unasked what she had learned, and be rewarded with his unfailing look of satisfaction.
Alexa cried out with indignation. Dawtie turned white and then red, but uttered never a word. "Dawtie," said her mistress, "tell me what you know about the cup. You do know something that you have not told me!" "I do, ma'am, but I will not tell it except I am forced." "That you are going to be, my poor girl! I am very sorry, for I am perfectly sure you have done nothing you know to be wrong!"
Babbie tried to look her in the face, but failed, and then all at once there came back to Nanny the days when she and her lover wandered the hill together. "Ah, my dawtie," she cried, so tenderly, "what does it matter wha he is when you canna help it!" Two frail arms went round the Egyptian, and Babbie rested her head on the old woman's breast.
"Because, you know," said she, "one should always be learning on one's travels; and many a time I have heard people disputing about the pronunciation of the Scotch; and one ought to be able to read Burns with a proper accent. Now, you have no Scotch at all here; you don't say 'my dawtie, and 'ben the hoose, and ''twixt the gloaming and the mirk."
She went to Dawtie and kissed her, and together they followed the policeman to the door, where Dawtie was to get into a spring-cart with him, and be driven to the county town, there to lie waiting the assizes. The bad news had spread so fast that as they came out, up came Andrew. At sight of him Dawtie gently laughed, like a pleased child.
