Mr Arthur Fernlee Markam, who took what was known as the Red House above the Mains of Crooken, was a London merchant, and being essentially a cockney, thought it necessary when he went for the summer holidays to Scotland to provide an entire rig-out as a Highland chieftain, as manifested in chromolithographs and on the music-hall stage.
The fisherman said, with a rough but true courtesy: 'Ay, sir! thank me and ye will if it'll do yer poor heart good. An' I'm thinking that if it were me I'd be thankful too. But, sir, as for me I need no thanks. I am glad, so I am! That Arthur Fernlee Markam was really thankful and grateful was shown practically later on.
Markam intended to have her say out. It was not a pleasant say, and, truth to tell, it was not said in a pleasant manner. A wife's manner seldom is pleasant when she undertakes to tell what she considers 'truths' to her husband. The result was that Arthur Fernlee Markam undertook, then and there, that during his stay in Scotland he would wear no other costume than the one she abused.
The frequency of the Markam girls' new frocks was a source of envy to their bosom friends and of joy to themselves. Arthur Fernlee Markam had not taken his family into his confidence regarding his new costume.
