This remarkable Dwarf gazed on the two youths in silence, with a dogged and irritated look, until Earnscliff, willing to soothe him into better temper, observed, "You are hard tasked, my friend; allow us to assist you." Elliot and he accordingly placed the stone, by their joint efforts, upon the rising wall.
"And now, friend," said Elliot, as the unreasonable Dwarf indicated another stone larger than any they had moved, "Earnscliff may do as he likes; but be ye man or be ye waur, deil be in my fingers if I break my back wi' heaving thae stanes ony langer like a barrow-man, without getting sae muckle as thanks for my pains."
Who thought of penning their cattle beneath the tower when the Red Reiver of Westburnflat was deemed to be on his death-bed? My draughts, my skill, recovered him. And, now, who dare leave his herd upon the lea without a watch, or go to bed without unchaining the sleuth-hound?" "I own," answered Earnscliff; "you did little good to society by the last of these cures.
And mony ane my father saw when he used to come hame frae the fairs at e'en, wi' a drap drink in his head, honest man." Earnscliff was somewhat entertained with the gradual declension of superstition from one generation to another which was inferred In this last observation; and they continued to reason on such subjects, until they came in sight of the upright stone which gave name to the moor.
But will ye tell me now, Earnscliff, you that have been at college, and the high-school of Edinburgh, and got a' sort o' lair where it was to be best gotten will ye tell me no that it's ony concern of mine in particular, but I heard the priest of St.
"You shall have full time," said Earnscliff; "I plight my faith and troth, my hand and my glove." "Wait there a moment, then," said Westburnflat; "or hear ye, I wad rather ye wad fa' back a pistol-shot from the door. It's no that I mistrust your word, Earnscliff; but it's best to be sure."
"You do me wrong by your suspicions, Mareschal," continued Vere; "you are the last I would have expected to hear express them." "You injure yourself, Ellieslaw, by your violence, though the cause may excuse it." He then advanced a little before the rest, and called out, with a loud voice, "Stand, Mr. Earnscliff; or do you and Miss Vere advance alone to meet us.
They had not proceeded very far in that direction when the trampling of horses was heard, and a small body of riders were perceived advancing to meet them. "There comes Earnscliff," said Mareschal; "I know his bright bay with the star in his front." "And there is my daughter along with him," exclaimed Vere, furiously. "Who shall call my suspicions false or injurious now?
But ere either question could be answered, Ellieslaw advanced, and, returning his sword to the scabbard, cut short the conference. "When I know," he said, "exactly how much I owe to Mr. Earnscliff, he may rely on suitable acknowledgments; meantime," taking the bridle of Miss Vere's horse, "thus far I thank him for replacing my daughter in the power of her natural guardian."
"I wish they had left some for us then, grannie," retorted Hobbie; "they've cleared the country o' them, thae auld friends o' yours, I'm thinking." "We see other folk can find game, though you cannot, Hobbie," said the eldest sister, glancing a look at young Earnscliff.
