I'm glaid 'at he has me for ane o' 's enemies, for I forgie him for ane; an' wuss him sae affrontit wi' himsel' er' a' be dune, 'at he wad fain hide his heid in a midden." "Noo, noo, mither!" said the eldest son, who had not yet spoken, but whose countenance had been showing a mighty indignation, "that's surely as sair a bannin' as yon 'at Jock said." "What, laddie!
Eh, but it maun be a gran' lichtenin to that puir thing! I'm richt glaid to hear o' 't." "I didn't know, Mr. MacLear, that you favoured the power and influence of the priesthood to such an extent! We Presbyterian clergy are not in the way of doing the business of detectives, taking upon us to act as the agents of human justice! There is no one, guilty or not, but is safe with us!"
Do you think they had any right to do that? Remember the jury had acquitted her." "And has she railly confessed? I am glaid o' that! I only wuss they could get a haud o' Madeline Smith as weel, and persuaud her to confess! Eh, the state o' that puir crater's conscience! It 'maist gars me greit to think o' 't! Gien she wad but confess, houp wad spring to life in her sin-oppressed soul!
An' I'm sure I'll be glaid to see ye, sir, ony time ye wad dee me the fawvour to luik in as ye're passin' by. It'll be none to yer shame, sir, for mine's an honest hoose." "I'll do that, Mistress Croale," answered the minister, glad to escape. "But mind," he added, "I don't give up my point for all that; and I hope you will think over what I have been saying to you and that seriously."
"Your master speaks very kindly of you. He seems to trust you thoroughly." "I'm verra glaid to hear 't, mem; but he has never had muckle cause to trust or distrust me yet." "He seems even to think that I might place equal confidence in you." "I dinna ken. I wadna hae ye lippen to me owre muckle," said Malcolm.
And for this there was another reason besides the threatening storm: he had the night before begun to read aloud one of Sir Walter's novels to the assembled family, and Grizzie would be getting anxious for another portion of it before she went to bed. "I'm glaid to see ye sae muckle better, Grannie," he said. "I'll say gude nicht noo, an' luik in again the morn."
And over and over again Annie's name came up, but Curly never hinted at her secret. The next evening he went to see Thomas Crann. Thomas received him with a cordiality amounting even to gruff tenderness. "I'm richt glaid to see ye," he said; "and I tak' it verra kin' o' ye, wi' a' yer gran' learnin', to come and see an ignorant man like me.
"I ken weel," she said to her mother, "that I hae no richt to contre ye; but ye was glaid o' my help whan first I cam to be yer servan-lass; and what for shouldna things be jist the same noo?
At length another knock came, which although very gentle, he heard and knew well enough. "Who's there?" he asked, notwithstanding, with a fresh access of indignant feeling. "Annie Anderson," was the answer through the door, in a tone which at once soothed the ruffled waters of Thomas's spirit. "Come in," he said. She entered, quiet as a ghost. "Come awa', Annie. I'm glaid to see ye.
Aye whan ane is ta'en frae ane, Ane on earth is left alane, Twa in heaven are knit again. Whan God's hairst is in or lang, Golden-heidit, ripe, and thrang, Syne begins a better sang." She looked up, and Curly was walking through the broad river to where she sat. "I kent ye a mile aff, Annie," he said. "I'm glaid to see ye, Curly." "I wonner gin ye'll be as glaid to see me the neist time, Annie."
