There we pitched camp, and, as the flies lacked, built a friendship-fire about which to forgather when the day was done. Dick still vocally regretted the muscallunge told him of my big bear. One day, late in the summer, I was engaged in packing some supplies along an old fur trail north of Lake Superior.
If we can't find out what we want in two months we may chuck the job. On the 17th of January we should forgather in Constantinople. Whoever gets there first waits for the others. If by that date we're not all present, it will be considered that the missing man has got into trouble and must be given up.
"That's none of your concern, sir; I desire to hear the very words." "Weel, then," replied the man, "he said, 'Tell Sir William Ashton that the next time he and I forgather, he will nto be half sae blythe of our meeting as of our parting." "Very well, sir," said the Lord Keeper, "I believe he alludes to a wager we have on our hawks; it is a matter of no consequence."
Ye see, Miss Elsie, her an' me was at the schuil thegither, an' we happent to tak' up wi' the same kin' o' thing, partic'larly algebra an' geometry, an' can ill haud oor tongues frae them whan we forgather. The day, it's been to the prejudice o' oor mainners, an' I beg ye to owerluik it."
But if Rashleigh Osbaldistone were baith the last and best of his name, and granting that he and I ever forgather again, the fiend go down my weasand with a bare blade at his belt, if we part before my dirk and his best blude are weel acquainted thegither!" He pronounced the last threat with an ominous frown, and the appropriate gesture of his hand upon his dagger.
"Na," said he, "but three times!" "When ye ken yourself that I am fair incompetent," I cried. "Well, I never heard tell the equal of it," said he. "I promise you the one thing, Alan," said I. "The next time that we forgather, I'll be better learned. You shall not continue to bear the disgrace of a friend that cannot strike." "Ay, the next time!" says he.
Howsoever, he's askin' after ye, and maybe ye'd like a crack wi' him. The Minister was on his way home, but he liked his 'crack' as well as another, so he turned eastwards to the little wayside hostelry some quarter of a mile back to forgather with Elliot, who used to attend the kirk 'whiles' in company with his deceased uncle.
"Na," said he, "but three times!" "When ye ken yourself that I am fair incompetent," I cried. "Well, I never heard tell the equal of it," said he. "I promise you the one thing, Alan," said I. "The next time that we forgather, I'll be better learned. You shall not continue to bear the disgrace of a friend that cannot strike." "Ay, the next time!" says he.
Nay, more; when we had steamed ourselves a little dry, we had old Anthony stew and grill for us, and fetch us a bottle of that madeira of my father's laying in. "A toast!" cried Richard, when the bottle came, springing to his feet with the glass held high. "To the dear lady of Appleby Hundred, and may she forgather with the man she loves best, be it you, or I, or another, Jack Ireton!"
"The bogle! the bogle! what if it should come out upon us? I downa forgather wi' thae things twice in the four-and-twenty hours." "Pooh! pooh!" I exclaimed, breaking away from him, "fear nothing from the next world the earth contains living fiends, who can act for themselves without assistance, were the whole host that fell with Lucifer to return to aid and abet them."
