'Well! if you axe me that, I'll say out boldly, "No". They've called her "the child" so long "the child" is always their name for her when they talk on her between themselves, as if never anybody else had a ewe-lamb before them that she's grown up to be a woman under their very eyes, and they look on her still as if she were in her long clothes.
And this girl, his ewe-lamb, his all, was she fair? had she blue eyes like my mother, or a high Roman nose and beetle brows like Captain Roland?
These angels of the memory came flocking back before the animal, the bull-doggedness, had "set," as workers in plaster say. He remembered the story of David and Nathan, and it seemed to him that he, with all his abilities and ambitions and prospects, was about to rob Bud of the one ewe-lamb, the only thing he had to rejoice in in his life.
But before daylight crept into my room light from on high streamed into my heart, and I gave even this, my ewe-lamb, away, as my free-will offering to God. Could I refuse Him my child because she was the very apple of my eye? Nay then, but let me give to Him, not what, I value least, but what I prize and delight in most. Could I not endure heart-sickness for Him who had given His only Son for me!
'There's a good deal of the rough country gentleman about him. He's a better man than his son anyhow. Sons will succeed their fathers, though, unfortunately. 'I don't care who may succeed him, if only I could get back my sword. It's too bad, with an armoury like that, to take my one little ewe-lamb from me. Here I had another story to tell.
But I maun e'en be riding back to put a question or so to the man that has stown awa' my bit ewe-lamb and put her in fold by the Water of Ae." At that moment Amelia came in with a triumphant smile. "It's a laddie from the post, and he winna gie up the letter unless you pay him sevenpence for postage dues and a penny for himself!" "There's the sevenpence, and clash the door in his face!" I cried.
There was only one thing I cared about, and that I supposed I could keep. I was mistaken. It was my little ewe lamb all I had; and they took it from me." "I thought your live stock was confined to dogs, and a cow, and the tomcat by the way, I don't see him any more. I didn't know you went into sheep. Was Tommy the ewe-lamb, and did the dogs play Nathan and David with him?"
Basilio has but this ewe-lamb, and no one, however powerful he may be, shall take her from him; these two whom God hath joined man cannot separate; and he who attempts it must first pass the point of this lance;" and so saying he brandished it so stoutly and dexterously that he overawed all who did not know him.
"But, mammy dear," said Barbara, "what will papa say?" "Poof!" returned her mother. "I've known him too long to care what he says!" "I don't like offending him," returned Barbara. "Don't mention him again, child, or I'll turn him loose on your bookbinder. Am I to put my own ewe-lamb to the same torture I had to suffer by marrying him!
You don't want to hurt that fairy godmother of his; she hasn't had many things of her own in life, and I do insist that while one is grabbing it's better to grab where there is a flock than pick a ewe-lamb. Besides, this Kenneth Raymond hasn't begun to understand himself he's been too busy understanding life. Have a heart, Joan!" Joan looked up sedately.
