"I min' naething aboot it but jist that muckle," said his father. "And I can think o' naething but that bonny lassie lyin there afore me naither deid nor alive! I jist won'er, Jeames, that ye're no as concernt, and as fillt wi' doobt and even dreid anent it as I am mysel!"

'What's this o' 't? she asked again.
"I doobt it'll be warst news to them that it's nae news till." "Ye speyk in riddles, Curly." He tried to laugh but succeeded badly, and stood before her, with downcast eyes, poking his thorn-stick into the mass of pebbles. Annie waited in silence, and that brought it out at last. "Annie, when we war at the schule thegither, I wad hae gien ye onything.
'For God's sake, Kirsty, he cried, ceasing his attempts to lay hold of her, 'behaud, or we'll hae the haill hoose oot, and what'll come o' me than I daurna think!
