And mair than that, if we had been o' Johnny Faa's gang, they couldna hae treated us mair disrespectfully than to condemn us to the death that they have decreed for us." "Providing ye die bravely, Simon," said the young laird, "it is little matter what manner o' death ye die; and as for your wife and weans, fear not; my faither's house will provide for them.
"'T is an auld sayin' that all manner of dealings be fair in love, an' true no doubt, though I'm a bachelor myself an' no prophet in such matters." "All's fair for certain," admitted John, as though he had not before considered the position from this standpoint. "Ay, an' a darter's welfare lies in her faither's hand.
I remember she came to ask my advice. 'D'you care for him, Mirren? I asked. 'Well, mem, it's no' as if I were a young lassie. I'm forty, and near bye caring. But he's a dacent man, and it's lonely now ma faither's awa, an' I'm a guid cook, an' he would aye come in to a clean fireside. So she married him and made a good wife to him, and they had one son.
"Rahab was approved for hiding the spies, and denyin their presence; but I couldna ask ye to imitate Rahab. I hae nae richt to dictate to my husband." "But wouldna ye wish me, my dear Peggy, to stretch a point to get yer faither's tears dried up, and yer ain stopped? Dinna hesitate, Peggy speak yer mind bauldly I'll forgie ye." "Ou ay," whimpered the gentle dame.
This time I was allowed to keep my seat in peace. The coach drove awa, an' me alang wi't; an', in twal hours thereafter, I fand mysel in my faither's hoose, safe and soun', after a' that had happened me.
But ye bade us begone, an' said ye'd invite us to yir pairty when ye wanted us an' the puir laddie dee'd in his faither's airms to the cruel music o' yir fiddles an' yir reels, an' his faither sat wi' him a' the nicht, croonin' wi' sorrow, an' yir graun' guests' laughter breakin' on him like a blizzard frae the north." "Is the sermon nearly done?" said Mr. Orme, with a sneer.
"We're a' but bairns comin' back to oor Faither's hoose; God loves ye mair than either yir faither or me, I'm near the kingdom, an' I ken." "My son, my laddie," it was his father's broken voice, "let us tak' the feast thegither. I'm a puir prodigal masel' but the door is open wide, an' we'll baith come hame to God." "I'll tak' it frae ma mither's hands," said Robin.
An' his black heart happy an' content 'cause he've sent this filth. You stare, wi' your mother's eyes you stare, an' stare. Hell's yawning for 'e, wretched wummon, an' for him as brot 'e to it!" "He doan't believe in hell, no more doan't I," said Joan calmly; "an' it ban't a faither's plaace to damn's awn flaish an' blood no way." "Never name me thy faither no more!
"Moderator, this is a terrible calamity that hes befaen oor brither, and a'm feelin' as if a' hed lost a bairn o' my ane, for a sweeter lassie didna cross oor kirk door. Nane o' us want tae know what hes happened or where she hes gane, and no a word o' this wull cross oor lips. Her faither's dune mair than cud be expeckit o' mortal man, and noo we have oor duty.
Ye've been reading some of my cases, ye say. But it was not for the law in them, it was to spy out your faither's nakedness, a fine employment in a son. You're splairging; you're running at lairge in life like a wild nowt. It's impossible you should think any longer of coming to the Bar. You're not fit for it; no splairger is.
