I only hope we'll hae the pleesure o' meetin' you here again afore lang. It's been yin o' the best nichts I hae spent for a lang time." "That's true, Geordie," said Charlie. "He has gi'en us yin o' the best nichts I hae ever spent. In fact I never min' o' haein' a better, an' to celebrate it, if nane of you hae ony objections, I'll sing anither sang."

The youth hesitated. "I never saw a corp i' my life, mem, an' I'm jist some feared," he said, after another brief silence. "Hoot, laddie!" returned Miss Horn, in a somewhat offended tone. "That'll be what comes o' haein' feelin's. A bonny corp 's the bonniest thing in creation, an' that quaiet!
