I could see his eye glow and his brow light with inspiration, and I drew in courage as I looked upon him in his intrepidity. 'Gang ye oot ower by the bit plankin', laddie, he commanded me, pointing to the window. 'Gang, an' wait for "Brownie," then when he comes back grup him fast and pray tae Heaven.
Eh! it's a fearfu' an' won'erfu' thing that drawin' o' hert to hert, an' syne a great snap, an' a stert back, an' there's miles atween them! The Lord alane kens the boddom o' 't; but I'm thinkin' there's mair intill't, an' a heap mair to come oot o' 't ere a' be dune, than we hae ony guiss at." Gibbie told her that Glashruach was his.

"Come, tell me how she escaped, whaur she is, and how she is; for now I think there is light breaking through the fearfu' cloud." "Light indeed," continued Mrs. Paterson; "and now, listen to a strange tale, mair wonderfu' than man's brain ever conceived.
"Can this be?" said Jeanie, as the door closed on her father "Can these be his words that I have heard, or has the Enemy taken his voice and features to give weight unto the counsel which causeth to perish? a sister's life, and a father pointing out how to save it! O God, deliver me! this is a fearfu' temptation."
It wad become ye better to fa' doon upo' yer knees and thank the God that's brocht him oot o' a fearfu' pit and oot o' the miry clay and set his feet upon a rock. But the rock's some sma' i' the fit-haud, and ae word micht jist caw him aff o' 't again. Gin ye fa' to upbraidin' o' 'm, ye may gar him clean forget's washin'."

"I hope and pray," said my grandfather, "that he'll be protected from scaith, and live to be a comfort to all his friends."

'Why doan't yo coom and see 'Lias sometimes, Davy, my lad? Yo might leeten him up a bit, an' he wants it, t' Lord knows. He's been fearfu' bad in his sperrits this summer.
But it's a fearfu' nicht, and nae mistak'!" old Davie would exclaim, as the storm made itself felt more than usual. "Aye, aye, it is thot," was Jock's imperturbable reply.
