Gin it had only been the Almichty's will to hae ta'en her, an' left him, honest man!" "Dinna daur to say a word again' the bairn, mem. The deid'll hear ye, an' no lie still." "Supperstitious quean! Gang an' do as I tell ye this minute. What business hae ye to gang greetin aboot the hoose? He was no drap's bluid o' yours!" To this the girl made no reply, but left the room in quest of Annie.
And there were the horses, rugging at the hedge where I had tethered them; and Chieftain on his feet, shaky and foam-flecked, and trembling at his knees; and the gipsy lass's wean greetin' at the hedge foot, with one wee bare arm clear of the shawl, seeming to beckon all the world to its aid. And Belle the gipsy lass lifted the child and wrapped her in the shawl, and took the road in front of us.
"I'll detail two Die-Hards Thomas Yownie and Wee Jaikie to keep in touch with ye and watch for you comin' back. Thomas ye ken already; ye'll no fickle Thomas Yownie. But don't be mistook about Wee Jaikie. He's terrible fond of greetin', but it's no fright with him but excitement. It's just a habit he's gotten. When ye see Jaikie begin to greet, you may be sure that Jaikie's gettin' dangerous."
"I can imagine your feelings; but M'Murdo didn't think of you being here when he spoke." "The de'il haet A care fir Collins, ony mair nir A dae fir yir ain sel', Nelson!" replied Mac defiantly. "Od! air ye no din greetin' the yet, lassie?" he continued, turning to Ida. "No anither pegh oot o' yir heed, ir bagode A'll tak' ye in han'."
"The wild flowers spring, and the wee birdies sing, And in sunshine the waters are gleaming, But the broken heart, it kens nae second spring, Though the waeful may cease frae their greetin'." She joined him then in the refrain, both keeping perfect time:
She sprung five bob! Come oot an' I'll stan' ye a slider. 'I regret I cannot accept your kind invitation. 'Haw, haw! It's you for the language! But I say! He leaned over the counter. 'What way are ye no greetin'? She flushed hotly, wondering how much he knew or guessed, but replied coolly enough: 'I have nothing to weep about. Have you? 'Plenty, by Jings!
I noticed his gude wife was greetin' a bit; she wiped her een wi' the corner of her apron. I thocht I'd go for a bit walk; I had no mind to be preying into the business o' the hoose. So I did. But that nicht, after the bairns were safe in bed and sound asleep, we all sat aboot the kitchen fire. And then it seemed the auld lady was minded to talk, and I was glad enow to listen.
The wee doggie cam' again to 'is maister's buryin'. Man, ye ne'er saw the like o' it. The wifie found 'im flattened oot to a furry door-mat, an' greetin' to brak 'is heart." "It's a remarkable story; and he's a beautiful little dog, and a leal one." The minister stooped and patted Bobby, and he was thoughtful all the way to the gate. "The matter need not be brought up in any formal way.
Lately I discovered that the children who see me with Grizel call me 'the Man with the Greetin' Eyes. If I have greetin' eyes it was real grief that gave them to me; but when I heard what I was called it made me self-conscious, and I have tried to look still more lugubrious ever since.
