"It was a good notion, that recess behind my old furnace!" said Glenfernie. "You took no harm beyond some cobwebs and ashes?" "None, Señor Nobody," said Ian. That day went by. The laird and Strickland talked together in low voices in the old school-room. Davie, too, appeared there once, and an old, trusted stableman. At sunset came Robin Greenlaw, and stayed an hour.
"I walked there from Littlefarm with Robin Greenlaw. Jarvis Barrow was reading Leviticus, looking like a listener in the Plain of Sinai. They expected Gilian home from Aberdeen. They say the harvest everywhere is good." Alexander asked no further and presently they parted for the night. The laird of Glenfernie looked from his chamber window, and he looked toward White Farm.
And I see poems that I can never write." "'Never' how long a word that is!" Greenlaw gazed at the workers in the field. "I met Mr. Strickland the other day. He says that you will travel again." "'Travel' yes." "The Jardine Arms gets it from the Edinburgh road that Ian Rullock made a daring escape." "He had always ingenuity and a certain sort of physical bravery." "So has Lucifer, Milton says.
For many years he was farrier to the Eagle or Spottiswood troop of Yeomanry. One day he went to Greenlaw to attend the funeral of his sister, intending to be home early in the afternoon. His wife and family were surprised when he did not appear as they expected and they sat up watching for him.
She did not love Robin Greenlaw; she was not so young a lass, with a rose in her cheek for every one; she was come so far without mating because she had snow in her heart! The palace gleamed, the palace shone. All the music of earth of the world poured through. The sun had drunk up the mist, time had eaten the thorn-wood, the spider at the gate had vanished into chaos and old night.
Gradually, however, his thirst was quenched. He began to realize that he had not slept for two days and a half. "I'd like to carry you right back to the island," said Captain Greenlaw, "for your friends must be worrying. But there are lots of herring here, and I've got to get a load first. That may take two or three days. I'll land you at Tarpaulin on my way home. Better turn in and sleep."
A jolly dame, who, not 'Sixty Years since, kept the principal caravansary at Greenlaw in Berwickshire, had the honour to receive under her roof a very worthy clergyman, with three sons of the same profession, each having a cure of souls: be it said in passing, none of the reverend party were reckoned powerful in the pulpit.
Taking their route by way of Coldstream, Greenlaw, and Soutra Hill, in order to avoid the army of General Leslie, which then occupied the eastern part of Lammermuir, they descended towards Dunbar, where they enrolled themselves as volunteers in the army of Cromwell.
Fifty yards off she shot up into the wind and prepared to launch a boat. They could read the name on her starboard bow. "The Grade King," spelled Spurling. "I know her. She's a Harpswell vessel. Come out to seine herring. Bet she left Portland early this morning. Her captain's Silas Greenlaw; he used to sail with Uncle Tom. He'll use us O. K."
It's the end, I jalouse! Is Mr. Alexander come?" "We look for him to-morrow." "The land and the folk'll be blithe to see him if it was not for the occasion of his coming! If there's aught a body can do for any at Glenfernie ?" "Every one has been as good as gold, Greenlaw. But you know there's not much at the last that can be done " "No. We all pass, and they that bide can but make the dirge.
