It had suddenly struck him that, now the rest of the story was out, Corp might tell her about the glove. Suppose Gavinia showed it to her!

"And so, auntie, says Gavinia, 'Yes, says she, 'I'll hae you. Those were her never-to-be-forgotten words." "You pitiful object," answered his aunt. "Men hae been married afore now without making sic a stramash." "I daursay," retorted Corp; "but they hinna married Gavinia." And this is the best known answer to the sneer of the cynic.

"What makes you say that? You're dreaming. She hasna come back." "Corp saw her come in by the afternoon train. He spoke to her." Gavinia shook her head incredulously. "You're just imagining that," she said. "He told me. Gavinia, I must see for myself," She stared after him as he went up the stairs. "You are very cruel, Gavinia," he said, when he came down. "Tell me where she is."

"In small matters," he said, "I gie you your ain way, for though you may be wrang, thinks I to mysel', 'She's but a woman'; but in important things, Gavinia, if I humoured you I would spoil you, so let this be a telling to you that there's no diddling a determined man"; to which she replied by informing the baby that he had a father to be proud of. A father to be proud of!

She was there when Gavinia came up to announce that she had shown a gentleman into the blue-and-white room, who gave the name of Ivie McLean. "Tell him I shall come down presently," gasped Miss Ailie, and then Gavinia was sure this was the man who was making her mistress so unhappy.

Corp's face shone, but Gavinia said at once, "You werena sic great friends as that; were you, man?" "No," Corp replied gloomily. "Whatever has come over you both?" asked Tommy, in surprise. "You will be saying next, Gavinia, that we never played at Jacobites in the Den!" "I dinna deny that Corp and me played," Gavinia answered determinedly, "but you didna.

And for their young wives who had tidings to whisper to her about the unborn she had the pretty idea that they should live with beautiful thoughts, so that these might become part of the child. When Gavinia told this to Corp, he gulped and said, "I wonder God could hae haen the heart."

"I dinna ken, but she's greeting sair, and yon can hear how he's rampaging up and down the blue-and-white room. Listen to his thrawn feet! He's raging because she's so long in coming down, and come she daurna. Oh, the poor crittur!" Now, Tommy was very fond of his old school-mistress, and he began to be unhappy with Gavinia.

"I dinna ken yet, but Gavinia says he telled her he's Champion of Damns. I kenna what Elspeth'll say to that." Grizel was starting for the Lair, but he caught her by the skirt. "Is he not at the Lair?" she inquired. "We knowest it not," he answered gravely. "We're looking for't," he added with some awe; "we've been looking for't this three year."

"Would it no be easier to watch him frae the gate?" suggested Gavinia, who had not the true detective instinct. Tommy disregarded her womanlike question; a great change had come over him since she went upstairs; his bead now wobbled on his shoulders like a little balloon that wanted to cut its connection with earth and soar. "What makes you look so queer?" cried the startled maid.
