On entering the town, however, and advancing towards the most apparent public-house which presented itself, the numbers of old women, in tartan screens and red cloaks, who streamed from the barn-resembling building, debating as they went the comparative merits of the blessed youth Jabesh Rentowel and that chosen vessel Maister Goukthrapple, induced Callum to assure his temporary master 'that it was either ta muckle Sunday hersell, or ta little government Sunday that they ca'd ta fast.
"How she was abandoned to hersell, or whether she was sackless o' the sinful deed, God in Heaven knows; but if she's been guilty, she's been sair tempted, and I wad amaist take my Bible-aith she hasna been hersell at the time."
"Now, that's downright shamefu'," said Mrs. Heukbane, "to scorn the poor silly gait of a lassie after he's keepit company wi' her sae lang, and had his will o' her, as I make nae doubt he has." "It's but ower muckle to be doubted," echoed Mrs. Shortcake; "to cast up to her that her father's a barber and has a pole at his door, and that she's but a manty-maker hersell! Hout fy for shame!"
"He has clean gi'en up walking, and he sits a' day in his room reading or writing; a hantle letters he has written, but he wadna put them into our post-house, though Mrs. Hadoway offered to carry them hersell, but sent them a' under ae cover to the sheriff; and it's Mrs.
Surely this is not a time to hide hersell frae me there's nae time for daffing now."
"Fat for! she maybe didna weel ken for fat hersell, for she gar'd a' bow to her bidding, right or wrang But it was ken'd the young leddy was inclined to some o' the heresies of the country mair by token, she was sib to him nearer than our Church's rule admits of. Sae the leddy was driven to the desperate act, and the yerl has never since held his head up like a man."
"O, whisht, my bairn, whisht," replied Mause; "thou kensna about thae things It was forbidden meat, things dedicated to set days and holidays, which are inhibited to the use of protestant Christians." "And now," continued her son, "ye hae brought the leddy hersell on our hands!
"In troth has she, puir Jeanie Deans, ten years aulder than hersell; she was here greeting a wee while syne about her tittie. And what could I say to her, but that she behoved to come and speak to Mr. Saddletree when he was at hame? It wasna that I thought Mr.
"I say," continued Elliot, as if indignant at this hint "I say, if the auld carline hersell was to get up out o' the grund just before us here, I would think nae mair But, gude preserve us, Earnscliff; what can yon, be!" Brown Dwarf, that o'er the moorland strays, Thy name to Keeldar tell! "The Brown Man of the Moor, that stays Beneath the heather-bell."
"Ye may be sure he had ower muckle about onybody beside." "That's no' true, Jeannie, though a saint had said it," replied Effie. "But ye dinna ken, though I do, how far he put his life in venture to save mine." And looking at Ratcliffe, checked herself and was silent. "I fancy," said he, "the lassie thinks naebody has een but hersell.
