She could not even see it without a flush of mortification as she recalled Donald's contempt for it. The privileged Elspie, rummaging among all Katie's stores, old and new, spied this white heather cluster one day, and snatching it up exclaimed: "The very thing for my weddin' bonnet, Katie!

Donald claimed that the latter, in the transaction of a mortgage prior to the sale, and in the terms of the sale itself, had cheated him out of $900.
Upon this table were oaten cakes and Ayreshire cheese and new milk, and by its side sat a young man reading. "Archie, here is a strange gentleman I found up at Donald's cairn."
