Hillocks's wife informed the kirkyard that the doctor "gied the gudeman an awful' clearin'," and that Hillocks "wes keepin' the hoose," which meant that the patient had tea breakfast, and at that time was wandering about the farm buildings in an easy undress, with his head in a plaid.
"Aweel, aweel, gudeman," said Mac-Guffog, "a wilfu' man maun hae his way; but if I am challenged for it by the justices, I ken wha sail bear the wyte;" and having scaled this observation with a deep oath or two, he retired to bed, after carefully securing all the doors of the Bridewell. The bell from the town steeple toiled nine just as the ceremony was concluded.

For a week James remained in his own room. Then Christine was laid beside her father, and the shop was reopened, and the household returned to its ways. But James was not seen in house or shop, and the neighbors said, "Kirsty Cameron has had a wearisome sickness, and nae doobt her gudeman was needing a rest.

'Aweel, aweel, gudeman, said Mac-Guffog, 'a wilfu' man maun hae his way; but if I am challenged for it by the justices, I ken wha sall bear the wyte, and, having sealed this observation with a deep oath or two, he retired to bed, after carefully securing all the doors of the bridewell. The bell from the town steeple tolled nine just as the ceremony was concluded.

When he was satisfied on this point, had pocketed his money, and had signed a receipt, he addressed David with some little hesitation, "Jeanie wad be writing ye something, gudeman?" "About the siller?" replied David "Nae doubt, she did." "And did she say nae mair about me?" asked the Laird. And so indeed it was, but not to that point which he wished or expected.
Ailie turned to make her apology 'Troth, I was sae weel pleased to see the gudeman, that but, gude gracious! what's the matter wi' ye baith? for they were now in her little parlour, and the candle showed the streaks of blood which Dinmont's wounded head had plentifully imparted to the clothes of his companion as well as to his own.
