It fair paralised baith o' them, when they saw Sandy comin' burst in on them wi' his black tile, his white goon, his umberell an' bag, an' the denner bell. "P'leece, p'leece," roared the captain an' his wife an' Sandy oot at the door. Awa' alang a passage he gaed, fleein' like a huntit tod. I heard him as gin he'd been doon in the very bowels o' the earth cryin', "Bawbie, Bawbie!
But she's jist huntit wi' the idea that she pat the bairnie doon, and left him, and kens na whaur. Verily, mem, she's are o' the lambs o' the Lord's ain flock!" "That's no the w'y the lambs o' his flock are i' the w'y o' behavin themsels! I fear me, sir, ye're lattin yer heart rin awa wi' yer jeedgment!"
"Aye the mair the merrier, but the fewer they fess the better," says Mistress Winton. "Wha's been meddlin' wi' you, Sandy?" But fient a wird cud Sandy get oot.

They both sat in silence while Ellen read the letter to the very end. At last, with a long, indrawn sigh, she spoke. "It's no like a lad that could write sic a letter, to perjure his soul. No won'er ye greet, Jean.
"Ay, ye say that sittin' there," Hookey said; "but, lads, I saw his face, an' as sure as death it was sic an' awfu' meeserable face 'at I couldna but pu' the powny up. Weel, he stood for the space o' a meenute lookin' straucht at me, as if he would like to come forrit but dauredna, an' syne he turned an' strided awa ower the muir like a huntit thing.
