I wonder," he mused, with a pride in which was neither doubt nor wonder "I wonder will he fling the father as he flang the son!" But that was the instinct of his blood, not enough to make him pardon John. On the contrary, here was a new offence of his offspring. On the morrow Barbie would be burning with another affront which he had put upon the name of Gourlay.
"Yes," she replied, "I shall proceed; because I would not that my conscience should hereafter reproach me for having left anything undone to escape this misery. My lord, I implore you to spare me; force me not over the brow of this dreadful precipice; have compassion on me have generosity act with honor." "I would crown you with honor, if I could, Miss Gourlay."
Gourlay further declares that it was observed by people in court that in the glass containing the folded transcripts from the jury-list some of the folded papers were distinctly set apart, so as to admit of their being drawn, apparently with fairness, in the ordinary manner. These papers so set apart from the rest, as Mr.
"Na, man, what did he say to you?" "Wath he angry, Dyohn?" "How did the thing begin?" "Tell us, man, John." "What was it a-all about, John?" "Was Mrs. Gourlay there?" Bewildered by this pelt of questions, Gilmour answered the last that hit his ear. "There, ay; faith, she was there. It was her was the cause o't." "D'ye tell me that, John? Man, you surprise me.

The girl certainly is attached to him, and I have no doubt the union will be, as you say, a happy one." "You know in your soul," she replied, "that she detests him; and you know she would sacrifice her life this moment sooner than marry him." "What, then, do you mean." he asked, "and why do you thus contradict yourself?" "Good-by, Thomas Gourlay," she replied.

It was partly by sheer impact of character that Gourlay obtained his ascendency over hearty and careless Templandmuir, and partly by a bluff joviality which he so little cunning in other things knew to affect among the petty lairds.
"Hurry up, man hurry up, or he'll be down on us like bleezes for being so late in getting off!" Gourlay smiled grimly, and a black gleam shot from his eye as he glanced round to the gate and caught the words. His men did not know he could hear them. The clock across the Square struck the hour, eight soft, slow strokes, that melted away in the beauty of the morning. Five minutes passed.
