Mac-Morlan, who came to attend his guest to his house, Dominie Sampson, and Miss Bertram. 'And now, said the poor girl, 'I must bid farewell to one of my oldest and kindest friends. God bless you, Mr. Sampson, and requite to you all the kindness of your instructions to your poor pupil, and your friendship to him that is gone.
Mannering now found his farther interference would be unnecessary, and might be misconstrued. He therefore resolved, as his presence was altogether useless, to make a short tour of a fortnight, at the end of which period the adjourned sale of the estate of Ellangowan was to proceed. But before he departed he solicited an interview with the Dominie.
"And the windmills have to work and work, to keep the fields drained. No one can be lazy in Holland. Each one has to work well for what he gets. If Holland should grow lazy, she would soon be back again in the Zuyder Zee! So, my children, you see you must learn well and work hard. And that is all my sermon to-day." "It is a better sermon than the Dominie will preach, I know," said Kat. "Tut, tut!
"Oh, I'll carry it!" cried Dan, "provided that I have not to take the head." "I'll help you," said I. "And I'll relieve you when you get tired," observed the Dominie.

"I would not have you count too much upon that," the dominie said, dryly.
He understood in that moment how his fathers felt it easy to pin on the white cockade and give up everything for an impossible loyalty. The dominie found him in this mood. He turned back to every-day life with a sigh. "Weel, dominie, you are a man o' taste. When did you begin buying pictures?" "I hae no money for pictures, laird. The artist gave me them." "You mean Colin Crawford gave you them."
This was effected by Mr Knapps, who took it out of the Dominie's study, and put it into Barnaby's possession, who drew on the fly-leaf, on which was my name, a caricature head of the Dominie; and under my own name, which I had written on the leaf, added, in my hand, fecit, so that it appeared, Jacob Faithful fecit.
And now, Abel Sampson, as ever ye lo'ed the house of Ellangowan, away wi' my message to the English Colonel, as if life and death were upon your haste! So saying, she turned suddenly from the amazed Dominie and regained with swift and long strides the shelter of the wood from which she had issued at the point where it most encroached upon the common.
"Under favour, most learned and honoured sir," said the Dominie, "I trust HE, who hath restored little Harry Bertram to his friends, will not leave His own work imperfect."
