After all, what will be his reward?
I reassured him, and told him I had the better opinion of him for his caution. "Sae have not I," said Andrew; "Syddall is an auld sneck-drawer; he wadna be looking as white as a sheet, and his knees knocking thegither, unless it were for something mair than he's like to tell us." "Lord forgive you, Mr. Fairservice," replied the butler, "to say such things of an old friend and fellow-servant!
"How long has your fellow-servant Peggy, I think, you call her been here?" "Not long." "Where had she been before, do you know." "Do I know, is it? Maybe 'tis you may say that." "What do you mean? I don't understand you." "I know that well enough, and it is n't my intention you should." "In what family was she at service." "Whisper; in a bad family, wid one exception.
