She tossed her hair from her temples as the moon throws the cloud apart and beamed brightly and merrily and sent him back his symbol with a daring charm. Gilian's dream of the Army fled.
"He went out this morning in a tiravee about a button wanting from his waistcoat. It's long since I learned never to heed him much." It was a story invented on the moment; in heavenly archives that sin of love is never indexed Her face had at once assumed a look of anxiety, for she felt that the encounter had caused Gilian's dejection as he rode down the street.
But the Cornal's utter indifference that sent his eye roaming unrecognising into Gilian's and away again without a spark of recognition was painful. It would have been an insufferable meal, even in his hunger, but for Miss Mary's presence.
He caught a glimpse of Gilian spying from the pend close and darted in trembling, but soon came out again, with the maid patting him kindly and assuringly on the back. From close to close he made a tactical advance swift dashes between on his poor bent old limbs, and he drew up by Gilian's side. "All's well!" said he with a breath of relier.
Maybe that was the Cornal's reason for telling you the story." There was not, for once, the response of understanding in Gilian's face. She could say no more. Was he not a boy yet, perhaps with the impulse she and the Cornal feared, all undeveloped? And at any rate she dare not give him the watchword that all their remembrances led up to the word Beware.
By the time novelty subsided again into every day an altered Elspeth had so fitted into the frame of life that Jenny was unaware of alteration. But Gilian was not Jenny. Each of Jarvis Barrow's granddaughters had her own small bedroom. Three nights after Gilian's home-coming she came, when the candles were out, into Elspeth's room. It was September and, for the season, warm.
The night grew dark with gathering clouds. Lights far out at sea showed the trailing fishers; a flaring torch told of a trawler's evening fortune made already. And soon they were at the Duke's lodge and Gilian's way up Glen Aray lay before him.
Down went the rod and the book, and with the fishing-basket swinging and beating at his back, Young Islay fell upon the zealous student. Gilian's arms, as he defended or aimed futile blows, felt, in a little, as heavy as lead. Between each blow he aimed there seemed to be a great space of time, and yet his enemy was striking with rapidity.
A pleasant place for meditation, bleak in winter for the want of trees, but in other seasons in a bloom of colour. Though he was there 'prentice to a hard calling, Gilian's life was more the gentle's than the shepherd's.
"Is it not very strange, Dugald, that women must be aye bringing in useless weans off the street to make noise and annoyance for their brothers?" He poked as he spoke with his stick at Gilian's feet as he would at an animal crossing his path. "It is a strange cantrip, Mary," said the General; "I suppose you'll be going to give him something.
