Her little heart will be torn in two between you." "Oh, Edith I cannot bear it." She hid her face from the anguish. "You needn't. That's it. It rests with you." "With me? If you would only tell me how." "I can't tell you anything. It'll come. Probably in the way you least expect it. But it'll come." "Edie, I feel as if you held us all together. And when you've gone " "You mean when it's gone.
"Are ye a triple man, friend, that ye press forward sae bauldly? I'm thinking no, for there's nae Catholics wear that badge." "Na, na, I am no a Roman," said Edie. "Then shank yoursell awa to the double folk, or single folk, that's the Episcopals or Presbyterians yonder: it's a shame to see a heretic hae sic a lang white beard, that would do credit to a hermit."
And so much did military experience at that moment overbalance all other claims to consequence, that even old Edie, instead of being left, like Diogenes at Sinope, to roll his tub when all around were preparing for defence, had the duty assigned him of superintending the serving out of the ammunition, which he executed with much discretion.
'It's very kind indeed of you to come, Edie answered, smiling back as well as she was able the first moment that Lady Hilda allowed her a chance to edge in a word sideways. 'Ernest will be so very very sorry that he's missed you when he comes in. He's spoken to me a great deal about you ever so many times. 'No, has he really? Lady Hilda asked quickly, with unmistakable interest and pleasure.
Oldbuck had approached him without being observed, and roused him out of his musing by saying kindly, "I am sorry, Edie, to see you so much cast down about this matter." The Antiquary Visits Edie in Prison
"Great distress, I fear, Edie," answered Miss Wardour; "but I am surprised it is already so public." "Public! Sweepclean, the messenger, will be there the day wi' a' his tackle. I ken it frae ane o' his concurrents, as they ca' them, that's warned to meet him; and they'll be about their wark belyve; whare they clip, there needs nae kame they shear close eneugh."
If you push things to the end, it rests with you, for he won't fret if he sees you happy. He does love you, Edie! I'm not sentimental, but I think it must be just the most beautiful thing in the world to be loved like that. I should like some one to look at me as he does at you, with his eyes lighting up with that deep, bright glow. I'd live in an attic with my Jack, and ask for nothing more!"
Gang hame, gang hame, like gude lads the French will be ower to harry us ane o' thae days, and ye'll hae feighting eneugh, and maybe auld Edie will hirple out himsell if he can get a feal-dyke to lay his gun ower, and may live to tell you whilk o' ye does the best where there's a good cause afore ye."
Monkbarns complied with the old man's humour, and put up his memorandum-book. Edie then went with great frankness through the part of the story already known to the reader, informing the Antiquary of the scene which he had witnessed between Dousterswivel and his patron in the ruins of St.
Well, now I must look out for that imaginary schoolmastership, and see what I can do for dear Edie. I shan't be sorry to get out of this after all, for the place was an impossible one for me from the very beginning. I shall sit down this moment and write to Edie, and after that I shall take out my portmanteau and get the man to help me put my luggage up to go away this very evening.
