"Ay, lad, I mind o' ye the noo!" "The jolliest supper ever I had a haggis you called it." "Ay, did I, my fine lad. I cookit it till ye myssel. Ye meicht help me for ane." "I will," said Captain Ede; and a conference took place in a whisper between him and his men. "It is a' reicht the noo!" thought McLaughlan. "We have an offer to make you," said Ede, respectfully. "Let us hear't."
Ned won't know a soul here and he'll be horribly lonesome." "I'll do my best to befriend him, with your permission," said Edith consolingly. "Oh, I know. You're a special Providence, Ede. Ned will be up tonight first thing, of course, and I'll introduce him. Try to keep the poor fellow amused until I get back. Two months! Just fancy!
Kate listened to what went on behind the scenes with greater indulgence, and she seemed to become more accustomed to the idea that Bill and Hender were something more than friends. She was conscious of disloyalty to her own upbringing and to her mother-in-law who loved her, and she often blamed herself and resolved never to allow Hender to speak ill again of Mrs. Ede.
Long Ede lay stretched by the fire in a bundle of skins, reading in his only book, the Bible, open now at the Song of Solomon. Cooney had finished patching a pair of trousers, and rolled himself in his hammock, whence he stared at the roof and the moonlight streaming up there through the little trap-doors and chivying the layers of smoke.
Hender lolled with her legs stretched out; Kate rested her head upon her hand wearily; Mrs. Ede sat straight, apparently unheeding the sunlight which fell across the plaid shawl that she wore winter and summer. She drank her beer in quick gulps, as if even the time for swallowing was rigidly portioned out.

They were very glad of the draught and thanked the men warmly.
'How silly of you, Annie! said Lizzie, who, proud of her successful explanation of the poster, was a little inclined to think she knew all about actors. 'How can he take us to the play? Isn't he going to act it himself? But do tell me, Mrs. Ede is he the one in the cocked hat? 'I hope he isn't the fat man who has lost his wig, Annie murmured under her breath.
"I say blackguard 'em." Robinson. "No, that would be letting ourselves down to their level. No, we will expose them as we did my old pal here before." Ede. "Why that is what I mean. Ticket them put a black card on them with their offense wrote out large." No sooner said than done.
