But, instead of the telephone call to Jamieson's office, for which she had waited with poorly concealed impatience from breakfast until nearly noon, she had a visit from Jamieson himself. The lawyer looked discouraged. "Bad news, Bessie," he said, as soon as he saw her. She was waiting for him on the porch, and her eyes lighted with eagerness as soon as she saw him coming.
I know exactly." "The clock in the hall is stopped, Miss Innes," said Jamieson. Nothing seemed to escape him. "He looked at his watch," she replied, and I could see Mr. Jamieson's snap, as if he had made a discovery. As for myself, during the whole recital I had been plunged into the deepest amazement. "Will you pardon me for a personal question?"
Miss Pole drew herself up at this remark of Lady Glenmire's, and said "that she wished she could agree with her as to the very small reason we had had for alarm, but with the recollection of a man disguised as a woman who had endeavoured to force himself into her house while his confederates waited outside; with the knowledge gained from Lady Glenmire herself, of the footprints seen on Mrs Jamieson's flower borders; with the fact before her of the audacious robbery committed on Mr Hoggins at his own door" But here Lady Glenmire broke in with a very strong expression of doubt as to whether this last story was not an entire fabrication founded upon the theft of a cat; she grew so red while she was saying all this that I was not surprised at Miss Pole's manner of bridling up, and I am certain, if Lady Glenmire had not been "her ladyship," we should have had a more emphatic contradiction than the "Well, to be sure!" and similar fragmentary ejaculations, which were all that she ventured upon in my lady's presence.
"Manse of Comrie, July 2d, 1717. "I salute yr lady I wish my ............ her Daughter much Joy." No. One example is found in Mr. Robert Jamieson's Popular Scottish Songs: Bonny Babby Livingstone Gaed out to see the kye, And she has met with Glenlyon, Who has stolen her away.
Now, if she might only sell comfits to children, she was sure she could please them! Before I left Miss Matty at Cranford everything had been comfortably arranged for her. Even Mrs Jamieson's approval of her selling tea had been gained. That oracle had taken a few days to consider whether by so doing Miss Matty would forfeit her right to the privileges of society in Cranford.
To kilt, i.e. to elevate or lift up anything quickly; this applied, ludicrously, to tucking by a halter. Jamieson's Dictionary. "Their bare preaching now Makes the thrush bush keep the cow Better than Scots or English kings Could do by kilting them with strings." See Jonson's Every Man in his Humour, Act I. Sc. 3. See Boswell's Johnson, Croker's ed. imp. 8vo, p. 318.
We've a good deal to do today, and there are reasons that I won't bother you with for our having to be in town. Thank you ever so much for the ride." "Yes, thank you ever so much," echoed Bessie. They were near Charlie Jamieson's office, and, as the car turned and disappeared in the mass of traffic, Bessie clutched Eleanor's arm. "Oh, do come quickly, Miss Eleanor, please! Look at this.
Rab Jamieson's barn was a curious building to be stranded in the midst of Barbie. In quaint villages and little towns of England you sometimes see a mellow red-tiled barn, with its rich yard, close upon the street; it seems to have been hemmed in by the houses round, while dozing, so that it could not escape with the fields fleeing from the town.
And now it turned out that a servant of Mrs Jamieson's had been ill, and Mr Hoggins had been attending her for some weeks. So the wolf had got into the fold, and now he was carrying off the shepherdess. What would Mrs Jamieson say?
"The little lady in Mrs Jamieson's pew had on, ma'am, rather an old black silk, and a shepherd's plaid cloak, ma'am, and very bright black eyes she had, ma'am, and a pleasant, sharp face; not over young, ma'am, but yet, I should guess, younger than Mrs Jamieson herself.
