"Not for a minute, Miss Dow," and Kit smiled lazily at her. "I'm not over-modest about my wonderful musical genius, but somehow I couldn't believe that a stranger appreciated me so highly. I just COULDN'T believe it, and something told me that it wasn't quite all it sounded. Then, says I to myself, if it isn't a real Belle Harcourt it's most probably Patty Fairfield.
"Care o' Davie Dow, flesher; Cowgate; Embro. My Patmos in the weelderness, miss, for the time being." Blanche received the address with a sense of unspeakable relief.
Rebecca; they are very decent folk the Dinmonts, though my lady didna dow to hear muckle about the friends on that side the house. But she liked the Charlies-hope hams, and the cheeses, and the muir-fowl, that they were aye sending, and the lamb's-wool hose and mittens she liked them weel eneugh."

She had just decided on the garret when she saw Rob Dow morosely regarding her from the gateway. "Whaur is he?" growled Rob. "He's out, but it's no for me to say whaur he is," replied Jean, whose weakness was to be considered a church official. "No that I ken," truthfulness compelled her to add, for she had an ambition to be everything she thought Gavin would like a woman to be.
'Anybody would have thought I was a heathen! But I kind of pacified her feelin's, an' told her I supposed the old lady meant well." "Did she give away any of her things? Mis' Barsett, I mean," inquired Mrs. Crane. "Not in my hearin'," replied Sarah Ellen Dow.

Betsey Lane, still pondering on the Centennial, began to sing another verse of her hymn, and again the old women joined her. At this moment some strangers came driving round into the yard from the front of the house. The turf was soft, and our friends did not hear the horses' steps.
"Well," asserted the Hon. Calvin Dow, stroking his nose contemplatively, "Jodrey and I used to cut sharp corners on two wheels of the four of the old wagon, in past times when he was a politician. But now that he's a statesman he doesn't like to be bothered by details." "Do you see any joke to this, Calvin?" demanded Morrison, not relishing the veteran's chuckle.

"I wish he would show his love," said Gavin, "by contradicting me less frequently." "You have Rob Dow to weigh against him." "No; I cannot make out what has come over Rob lately. He is drinking heavily again, and avoiding me.
"The Lord preserve's!" cried Dow, and could say no more. "He has preserved me, ye see, Jeamie. Hoo's my mother?" "She's brawly, brawly, Mr Alec. The Lord preserve's! She's been terrible aboot ye. Ye maunna gang in upo' her. It wad kill her." "I hae a grainy sense left, Jeamie. But I'm awfu' tired. Ye maun jist turn yer cairt and tak' me hame.
