Am just doostin' the things; and setin' the room in decent order for ye." "For me? Did you hear what the landlady said?" Mr. Bishopriggs advanced confidentially, and pointed with a very unsteady forefinger to the purse which Anne still held in her hand. "Never fash yoursel' aboot the landleddy!" said the sage chief of the Craig Fernie waiters. "Your purse speaks for you, my lassie.
"If you fail to control yourself, you place an obstacle in the way of my being of some future use to Miss Silvester. Remember that, and now prepare for the surprise. What did I tell you before dinner?" "You said you had made discoveries at Craig Fernie. What have you found out?"
Judging by appearances, his errand to Craig Fernie had certainly not ended in disappointment. The old gentleman hummed his favorite little Scotch air rather absently, perhaps and took his pinch of snuff from the knob of his ivory cane much as usual. He went to the library bell and summoned a servant. "Any body been here for me?" "No, Sir Patrick." "No letters?" "No, Sir Patrick." "Very well.
"I can. It's sympathy with Me. I am out of spirits too." "You!" "Yes. After what I saw at Craig Fernie, I grow more and more uneasy about Anne. You will understand that, I am sure, after what I told you this morning?" Arnold looked back, in a violent hurry, from Blanche to Milton. That renewed reference to events at Craig Fernie was a renewed reproach to him for his conduct at the inn.
"I see naething here touching the name o' Sawmuel Bishopriggs, or the matter o' ony loss ye may or may not ha' had at Craig Fernie," he said, when he had done; still defending his position, with a resolution worthy of a better cause. Anne's pride recoiled at the prospect of prolonging the discussion with him. She rose to her feet, and said her last words.
"Did you hear Blanche say that she meant to send me to Craig Fernie to-morrow, if she failed to get news from Miss Silvester to-day?" "No." "Then you know it now. That is what Blanche has just said to me." "Well?" "Well there's a limit to what a man can expect even from his best friend. I hope you won't ask me to be Blanche's messenger to-morrow.
'Once more supposing our guess to be the right one, Miss Silvester may be making herself very unhappy without any real cause. Quite needless to say that, half an hour after they were out of his lips, I had sent them to Craig Fernie in a letter to Anne!" A light of the devil's own striking illuminated him. An idea of the devil's own bringing entered his mind.
Pooh! a young man who smokes cigars doesn't know the difference between Bechamel sauce and melted butter. Good afternoon! good afternoon!" He slackened the reins, and away he went to Craig Fernie. Counting by years, the pony was twenty, and the pony's driver was seventy.
If you can't find your way to Craig Fernie, I can help you. As for Anne, you know what a charming person she is, and you know she will receive you perfectly, for my sake. I must and will have some news of her. I can't break the laws of the household a second time. Sir Patrick sympathizes, but he won't stir. Lady Lundie is a bitter enemy.
He had made his inquiries; and had then betaken himself for additional information, to the letter which he had picked up from the parlor floor at Craig Fernie.
