Swift glances at myself, swiftly withdrawn, denoted his desire to say something more. It came at length and with unmistakable directness. "I'm dootin' I've been wrang; mebbe I was 'righteous over-much." "What is it, Archie?" I said soothingly. "Some sin? Or some mistake in the days that are gone?"
The cairt appeared to be haudin' him up, raither than him haudin' up the cairt; an' he was restin' the thrawn legs o' him time aboot, juist like a cock stanin' amon' snaw. "Ye shudda left that billie at the knackers at Glesterlaw, Sandy," says I, I says. "I'm dootin' ye'll ha'e back to tak' him there afore him or you's muckle aulder." "Tyach! Haud your lang tongue," says Sandy.
an' I'm dootin' we micht dae waur than jine wi' him." "There is no more fitting prayer for such an hour as this," I responded, thinking it meet to incline his thoughts towards the encircling glow with which the last great morning was already illumining his face. But Archie still pursued his line of thought.
"But am dootin' ye're a fell billy wi' the lasses." "Ay, oh, I d'na kin; moderate, moderate," said Sam'l, in high delight. "I saw ye," said Eppie, speaking with a wire in her mouth, "gaein' on terr'ble wi' Mysy Haggart at the pump last Saturday." "We was juist amoosin' oorsel's," said Sam'l. "It'll be nae amoosement to Mysy," said Eppie, "gin ye brak her heart."
The city's streets aye, they're braw, whiles, and they've brocht me happiness and fun, and will again, I'm no dootin'. Still oh, listen tae me whiles I speak o' the city and the glen! I'm a loon on that subject, ye'll be thinkin', maybe, but can I no mak' ye see, if ye're a city yin, hoo it is I feel? London's the most wonderfu' city i' the world, I do believe.
"It'll na be a matter of life and death?" he asked hopefully. "She aye stops for life and death." "No," replied Thorpe reluctantly. Then with an explosion, "Yes, by God, it is! If I don't make that boat, I'll kill YOU." The Scotchman chuckled and pocketed the money. "I'm dootin' that's in order," he replied. "I'll no be party to any such proceedin's.
This took Sam'l, who had only been courting Bell for a year or two, a little aback. "Hoo d'ye mean, Eppie?" he asked. "Maybe ye'll do't the nicht." "Na, there's nae hurry," said Sam'l. "Weel, we're a' coontin' on't, Sam'l." "Gae wa wi' ye." "What for no?" "Gae wa wi' ye," said Sam'l again, "Bell's gei an' fond o' ye, Sam'l." "Ay," said Sam'l. "But am dootin' ye're a fell billy wi' the lasses."
"He gaed tae his room at half twa and wes oot in the fields by four, an' a'm dootin' he never saw his bed. He's lifted abune the body a'thegither, an' can hardly keep himsel awa frae the Hebrew at his breakfast. Ye'll get a sermon the day, or ma name is no Peter Pitillo." Mains also declared his conviction that the invasion of mice would be dealt with after a scriptural and satisfying fashion.
"It's a peety for the wean, wi' a' these weemen waitin' till he grows up. I'm dootin' he'll be swept oot o' his ain hoose wi' petticoats, and take up wi' the dark-skinned beauties in the far glens, like Esau." And sorely put out were the women when Dan, referring to the heir, said he'd come in time for the best o' the grass.
"A 'm dootin', Miss Carnegie, the gude-wife hes keepit ye ower lang in the gairden haiverin' awa' aboot the flooers an' her ither trokes. But she 's michty prood for a' that aboot yir comin' up tae veesit us." Such was the second conference on Kate's affairs on that day.
