The clerk called upon the Reverend Allan Welsh to present his report. Then he sat down gravely, but immediately rose again to give his report. All the while the moderator sat impassive as a statue. The minister of Dullarg began in a low and constrained voice.
Therefore she asked the question which every mother asks, and no sweetheart who is nothing but a sweetheart has ever yet asked: "Have you enough money?" Ralph blushed and looked most unhappy, for the first time since the sun rose. "I have none at all," he said; "my father only gave me the money for my journey to the Dullarg, and Mr.
This last she mostly devised for herself with taste which was really a gift natural to her, but which seemed nothing less than miraculous to the maidens and wives of a parish which had its dressmaking done according to the canons of an art which the Misses Crumbcloth, mantua-makers at the Dullarg village, had learned twenty-five years before, once for all.
The bursting bud of her healthful beauty, quickened by the shy radiance of her soul, shook the centres of her life, even as a laburnum-tree mysteriously quivers when the golden rain is in act to break from the close-clustered dependent budlets. Thus it was that, at the stile which helps the paths be tween the Dullarg and Craig Ronald to overleap the high hill dyke, Ralph met Winsome.
"Well," said Greatorix, somewhat reluctantly, "I'm sure I wish you joy of your parson. I see now what the canting old hound from the Dullarg Manse meant when he tackled me at the loaning foot. He wanted Winsome for the young whelp." "I dinna think that," replied Jess; "he disna want him to come aboot here ony mair nor you." "How do you know that, Jess?" "Ou, I juist ken."
Minister and elder were buried side by side one glorious August day, which was a marvel to many. So the Dullarg kirk was vacant, and there was only Manse Bell to take care of the property. Jonas Shillinglaw came from Cairn Edward and communicated the contents of both Walter Skirving's will and of that of Allan Welsh to those whom it concerned.
All that you have to do is simply to rise in your place on the Sabbath morn and tell the congregation what I have told you that the minister of the Marrow kirk in Dullarg is a man rebuking sin when his own hearthstone is unclean a man irregularly espoused, who wrongfully christened his own unacknowledged child."
"Alexander Moldieward!" again cried the old "betheral," very loud, to some one on the top of the Dullarg Hill then in an ordinary voice, "come awa', Saunders man, you and your mither, an' dinna keep them waitin' they're no chancy when they're keepit." Saunders and his mother entered.
This was not quite so; but, with the characteristic one- sidedness of youth, that was the way that he put the case to himself. It was the water-shed of day and night when Ralph set out from the Dullarg manse. He had had no supper, but he was not hungry.
His father would not utterly refuse his consent, though he might urge long delays. And, in any case, Edinburgh was but two days' journey from the Dullarg; two days on the road by the burnsides and over the heather hills was nothing to him. But, for all that, the aching would not be stilled. Hearts are strange, illogical things; they will not be argued with.
