On Wednesday they returned, and on Thursday the 26th she was buried in the nave of the old Abbey Kirk at Haddington, in the grave of her father The now desolate old man, who had walked with her over many a stony road, paid the first of his many regretful tributes in the epitaph inscribed over her tomb: in which follows, after the name and date of birth:
"You mustn't ask me. But, oh! I'm so sorry you think so too. Isn't it strange? So suited to one another she so beautiful, he so clever, and both rich!" "Miss Bernard is hardly rich, is she?" "Not as Mr. Lane is, of course. She seems rich to me forty thousand pounds, I think. Ah, Mr. Haddington, if only you had met her sooner!" "I shouldn't have had much chance against Lane." "Why do you say that?
At the same time, there was no coolness between Eugene and Haddington, and when his guest presented a valid excuse and proposed departure, Eugene met the suggestion with an obviously sincere opposition. Sir Roderick really could not make out what was going on.
For Haddington, in his joy, easily promised silence for a little while; it seemed only decent; and even Ayre could not refuse to agree with him that, though Eugene must be told, nobody else ought to be until Eugene had formally signified his assent to the lady's transfer.
I would undertake from the writings of the later English Socinians to collect paraphrases on the New Testament texts that could only be paralleled by the spiritual paraphrase on Solomon's Song to be found in the recent volume of "A Dictionary of the Holy Bible, by John Brown, Minister of the Gospel at Haddington:" third edition, in the Article, Song. Ib. p. 63, 64.
"Is that what a gentleman does?" "As a rule, it is not." "I despise you for a mean dastard! I have no more to say to you." "Come, Miss Bernard, let us be reasonable. We are neither of us blameless." "Do you think Eugene would listen to such a tale? And such a person?" "He might and he might not. But Haddington would." "What could you tell him?"
The bale-fires are gleaming, giving alarm to Hume, Haddington, Dunbar, Dalkeith, and Eggerhope. Rise, Stirling, Fife, and the North! All Scotland will be under arms in two hours. One bale-fire: the English are in motion! Two: they are advancing! Four in a row: they are of great strength! All men in arms west of Edinburgh muster there! All eastward, at Haddington!
Chambers introduced a pretty little romantic girl to me who possessed a laudable zeal to know a live poet. I went with my fair admirer as far as the new rooms on the Mound, where I looked into the Royal Society's Rooms, then into the Exhibition, in mere unwillingness to work and desire to dawdle away time. Learned that Lord Haddington had bought the Sir Joshua.
Now this Sir Thomas Hamilton was the ancestor of the Earl of Haddington, who inherits many of his papers. There is, in fact, another ‘note on the back,’ in ink more faded, on a dirty rubbed part of the paper. Now certainly the last endorsation was written by Sprot either on August 11 or August 12, 1600.
She sat with a little smile for a moment, then she threw her hat in the air and caught it, then lay back, sighed gently, and murmured: "Heigho! a brace means two, doesn't it? Who's the other? Oh! Mr. Haddington, I suppose. I didn't think he knew. Poor Eugene! He's very angry, or he'd never have been so rude. 'Bagged a brace!" And she actually laughed again, and then said "Heigho!" again.
