Haggart is silent, as though he has forgotten her presence. "You have a pretty uniform. You are silent? I shall come up to you." Haggart is silent. His dark profile is stern and wildly gloomy; every motion of his powerful body, every fold of his clothes, is full of the dull silence of the taciturnity of long hours, or days, or perhaps of a lifetime. "Your sailor will not kill me? You are silent.
"I think that you simply drank too much, like that time remember, in the castle? And your hand is quivering. But then the game was different " "Tss!" Khorre lowers his voice: "But your hand is really in blood. Oh, you are breaking my fingers!" Haggart threatens: "If you don't keep still, dog, I'll break every bone of your body!
"Rob Dow," he said, "William Carmichael, Thomas Whamond, William Munn, Alexander Hobart, Henders Haggart, step forward." These were Auld Lichts, and when they found that the minister would not take his eyes off them, they obeyed, all save Rob Dow. "Never mind him, Rob," said the atheist, Cruickshanks, "it's better playing cards in hell than singing psalms in heaven."
"What would you wonder?" "I would wonder how muckle he paid." "But if he was a a minister, and keepit the flower say it was a common rose fond-like on his chimley, what would you think?" "I would think it was a black-burning disgrace for a minister to be fond o' flowers." "I dinna haud wi' that." "Jean," said Haggart, "I allow no one to contradict me." "It wasna my design.
The congregation were thinking of approaching him, through the medium of his servant, Easie Haggart, on the subject of matrimony; for a bachelor coming on for twenty-two, with an income of eighty pounds per annum, seemed an anomaly when one day he took the canal for Edinburgh and returned with his bride. His people nodded their heads, but said nothing to the minister.
"Suppose we send Gart to the city what then?" Desfoso goes on, without looking at Haggart. "Well, the city people will hang him and then what? The result will be that a man will be gone, a fisherman will be gone you will lose a son, and Mariet will lose her husband, and the little boy his father. Is there any joy in that?" "That's right, that's right!" nods the abbot, approvingly.
Is it true that it is so joyous? They say that you are forever smiling. They say that you are the bravest and most handsome fisherman on the coast. And they also say that you love your wife Mariet very dearly." "O sir!" exclaims Haggart with restraint, "my life is so sad that you could not find an image like it in this dark deep.
When he replied audibly to the minister's uncomfortable questions, a pained look at his flippancy travelled from the pulpit all round the pews; and when he only bowed his head in answer, the minister paused sternly, and the congregation wondered what the man meant. Little wonder that Davie Haggart took to drinking when his turn came for occupying that front pew.
Arms and men I sing: douce Jeemsy Todd, rushing from his loom, armed with a bed-post; Lisbeth Whamond, an avenging whirlwind: Neil Haggart, pausing in his thank-offerings to smite and slay; the impious foe scudding up the bleeding Brae-head with Nemesis at their flashing heels; the minister holding it a nice question whether the carnage was not justified.
David Haggart. Just sae, Geordie. Myself. And why were ye thinking of him? The English hanged him long since, as I have heard say. David Haggart. I was thinking that I should wish to be like him. Myself. Do ye mean that ye would wish to be hanged? David Haggart. I wad na flinch from that, Geordie, if I might be a great man first. Myself.
