But the friendship of the Island women she had never desired, and when her husband was drowned there was not a fisher-wife to go and sit with her in the desolate house. As the years went by her good looks went with them.
Guida stood watching her from the doorway, and the last words of the fisher-wife kept repeating themselves through her brain: "And if there is war, I will have two beads, trejous." So, Maitresse Aimable knew she loved Philip! How strange it was that one should read so truly without words spoken, or through seeing acts which reveal.

"Do you dare to call me a liar? Man alive! Do it again, and every fisher-wife in Pittendurie will help me to give you your fairings." "Tush!! Let me see my wife." "Take yourself off my doorstep, or it will be the worse for you." "Let me see my wife." "Coming here and chapping on my door on Janet Binnie's door! with a horsewhip!" "There is no use trying to deceive me with bad words. Let me pass."
When I sailed ower the sea, A laddie bold and free, The corn sprang green on Strathairlie! When I come back again, It's an auld man walks his lane Slow and sad ower the fields o' Strathairlie. O' the shearers that I see No' a body kens me, Though I kent them a' in Strathairlie; An' the fisher-wife I pass, Can she be the braw lass I kissed at the back o' Strathairlie?
Guida's face crimsoned. What how much did Maitresse Aimable know? By what necromancy had this fat, silent fisher-wife learned the secret which was the heart of her life, the soul of her being which was Philip? She was frightened, but danger made her cautious. "Can you guess who it is?" she asked, without replying directly to the oblique charge.
Poor Sophy Braelands!" It was noticeable, however, that not a single woman had a wrong thought of Sophy. Madame could easily suspect the worst, but the "worst" was an incredible thing to a fisher-wife. Some indeed blamed her for not tholing her grief until her husband came back, but not a single heart suspected her of a liaison with her old lover.
