"I like ye weel enoo', Jennie, though I canna say how long the feeling may bide wi' me; an' I'm kind enoo' when I hae my ain way, an' naethin' happens to put me oot. But I hae the deevil's ain temper, as my mither call tell ye, an' like my puir fayther, I'm a-thinkin', I'll grow nae better as I grow mair auld." "Ay, but ye're sair hard upon yersel', Davie. Ye're an honest lad.
The minister's wife repeated the words about the house with many mansions, and those about the valley of the shadow, and said a little prayer, and then we all waited for the end for myself, I confess with considerable fear and anxiety. I had no need to fear. After a long silence she sat up straight, and in her Scotch tongue, she said, with a kind of amazed joy in her tone, 'Ma fayther! Ma fayther!
But it so happened as Will Jones's lad John were under the couch-chair, hiding away from his fayther, all the time they was arranging their plans, and he heard all as they was saying. So Will Jones's wife Martha sends the lad to tell our Betty when the men was gone. She'd promised not to say anything herself, but that didn't bind the lad, so he came and told. What were we to do?
Ye be summat like yer poor fayther, my lad; he were allers above we. 'Nay, Master Morgan! cried the boy reproachfully; 'were you not my first friend, when dear father died? You don't mean that, I know! looking up at his old friend's rugged face with eyes full of tears.
At the end of a long minute, Macgregor observed to the kettle: 'I tell't fayther what I done wi' the twa pound. 'Did ye? 'Ay. He he was awfu' pleased. 'Was he? Macgregor took a puff at his cold cigarette, and tried again. 'He said I was to tell ye he was pleased. 'Oh, did he? 'Never pleaseder in his life.
"Hush, hush, there's a good bairn," said her mother, though the tears were all the while running down her own cheeks as she spoke; "don't take on so; you'll drive your fayther clean crazy. He's down in the mouth enough already. Come, don't fret in that fashion, Thomas; Sammul'll come back afore long: you've been crouching down by the hearth-stone long enough.
Then I went to old Anne Butler's, and I thought I'd not say who I were, for I were always a closeish sort o' chap; and if fayther and our Betty had flitted, I didn't want to have all the village arter me. So I just went to old Anne's. She didn't know me a bit. So I got talking about the village, and the folks as had come and gone; and I let her have her own way.
"I remimber all uv yez when yez used fer ter worrk fer Schmitt, here," said Pete. "It reminded me of that when I came along." "Yer fayther, he used fer ter drive th' wagon fer 'im. Big Bill 'n' Little Bill, we used fer ter call him 'n' yer bruther. Yer fayther wuzn' fond uv worrk, I guess." "He used to get cramps," said Tom simply. "He used fer ter lick yez, I'm thinkin'."
His son, Sol, thought himself, as in duty bound, to take up the cudgel for his father. "Now, I guess that's a lie, anyhow. Fayther was sick that day, and I tell you he only ate five." This announcement was followed by such an explosion of mirth that the boy looked fiercely round him, as if he could scarcely believe the fact that the whole party were laughing at him.
"No doubt ye are corrict." "Then let's do it without throwing away another moment." He turned hurriedly to carry out his own purpose, when his comrade laid his hand on his arm and detained him. "I think, Warry," he said, in a low voice, "that ye've forgot one matter yer fayther, mither, and Dot." "Gracious! how came I to do that?
