'Father, father! he cried quickly, in the tone and speech of a Scotch laddie, 'I'm gaein' doon. Haud a grup o' my han'. When Robert hurried to the bedside, he found that the last breath had gone in the words. The thin right hand lay partly closed, as if it had been grasping a larger hand.

When he had ended the tale of what had come to his knowledge, and how it had come, and paused: "Gie's a grup o' yer han', my lord," said Blue Peter, "an' may God haud ye lang in life an' honour to reule ower us.

'He's had a stroke, said his wife, without removing her apron from her eyes. 'Ye maun gang to yer bed, said Robert, greatly concerned.
I doobt she micht turn oot to be but a makshift hersel! There's mony aboot 'im 'at'll be sair eneuch upon 'im, but nane the wiser for that! Mony ane'll luik upon 'im as a bairn in whause existence God has had nae share or jist as muckle share as gies him a grup o' 'im to gie 'im his licks!
