I'll count nae honor or pleasure worth the having she doesna share. Forbye, sir, when you hae a hame, and the plenishing o' it, folk should think lang ere they scatter it to the four winds. It is easy to get rid o' household things; whiles, it is maist impossible to get them thegither again. I might die, and Maggie be left to fight her ain battle.
The maiden must choose one of the flowers named, on which she passes some approving epithet, adding, at the same time, a disapproving rejection of the other two, as in the following terms: 'I will sink the pink, swim the rose, and bring hame the gillyflower to land. The young men then disclose the names of the parties upon whom they had fixed those appellations respectively, when it may chance she has slighted the person to whom she is most attached, and contrariwise."
But when Dan spoke the black anger was trembling in his voice. "They're lying there snug and dry in our cove, d -n them, and that poor Gull straining and crying out there, reaching for her hame, and them ready to pounce on her crew, the crawling slinks," and I knew he was thinking of the Preventive men.
But a voice from quite other lips came over the rising background of scrub and tangled thicket. "Gang on coortin'," it said; "I'm no lookin', an' I canna see onything onyway." It was Jock Gordon. He continued: "Jock Scott's gane hame till his breakfast. He'll no bother ye this mornin', sae coort awa'." WINSOME and Ralph laughed, but Winsome sat up and put straight her sunbonnet.
But the song goes to her very heart: "It's hame, and its hame hame fain wad I be, O! hame, hame, hame, to my ain countree." A sob rises in her throat. So near to her own dear home, and yet so far. She finds her purse, and hastily flings half a crown to the poor wretch outside, who never guesses why she got so large a dole. And now Rylton returns. He gets in.
We've to be awa' travelling sae much that she says it rests her to work harder than a scullery maid whiles she's at hame. And it's certain I'd rather eat scones of her baking than any I've ever tasted. I always sit sae that I can watch her whiles I'm reading. She never lets me get very far wi'oot some comment. "No bad," she'll murmur, whiles, and I'll gae on, for that means a muckle frae her.
"Folks hae thocht ill o' me, sir; and they treat me according to their ill thochts: and I wish Davie was hame, for I'm broken-hearted wi' the wrang that is done me; morning, noon and night," she said warmly. "Keep your temper and hold your tongue, Maggie. I suffer no woman to rail in my presence. Do well, and you will be well spoken of, and doubtless also, well treated."
"They's a hame strap busted and Bill's loosin' all his furniture," explained the boy. They got Bill's rig off to repair it as best they could. Again their fingers got cold and their feet got cold, and the air got colder. Bill was the only one who didn't seem to mind the delay and acted as if he rather enjoyed a vacation. "Now we're off again," said Jimmy, as they resumed their journey.
"'Now ye speak like a lad of sense and mettle, said the old man; 'and on the first night that ye bring them hame, the plumpest and the fattest o' them shall be slaughtered for the marriage-feast of you and Barbara.
Had he been one of those who had come through the attack, gloriously, to victory, so that he could look back upon that day so long as he lived? Or was he dead perhaps within a hundred yards of where I stood and gazed down at that relic of him? Had he folks at hame in Scotland who had gone through days of anguish on his account such days of anguish as I had known?
