Presently the horrible sense subsided as before, and again he sought to descend the stair and go to Kelpie. But immediately the sickness returned, and all he could do after a long and vain struggle, was to crawl on hands and knees up the stairs and back to his room. There he crept upon his bed, and was feebly committing Kelpie to the care of her maker, when consciousness forsook him.
Large against the long, clean, horizon sweep, they looked the sun-bathed, stone figures of horse and man, set there long ago, guarding the moor, giving warning of the kelpie. "None has been found to warn. There is none but the kelpie waits for.... But punish punish!" He and Black Alan pushed on to the head of the glen.
He added many instructions to be given as to her treatment. Until Merton returned he kept watch, then went back to the chamber of his torture, which, like Kelpie, he shuddered to enter. The cook let him in, and gave him his candle, but hardly had he closed his door when a tap came to it, and there stood Rose, his preserver. He could not help feeling embarrassed when he saw her.
Florimel went with Clementina for the night, and Malcolm carried a note from her to Lady Bellair, after which, having made Kelpie comfortable, he went to his lodgings.
My mistress does not like to turn me away, but she is tired of me, and does not want me any longer." "But you would never think of finally forsaking a fisherman's life for that of a servant, surely, Malcolm?" "What would become of Kelpie, my lady?" rejoined Malcolm, smiling to himself. "Ah!" said Clementina, bewildered; "I had not thought of her.
With Kirsty near, nothing could go wrong. And the growing better was pure enjoyment. Once, when Kirsty was absent for a little while, Mrs. Mitchell brought me some gruel. "The gruel's not nice," I said. "It's perfectly good, Ranald, and there's no merit in complaining when everybody's trying to make you as comfortable as they can," said the Kelpie.
But I had hardly ensconced myself behind the stone, repressing my laughter with all my might, when I was seized from behind by Wandering Willie, who had no fear either of pig or dog. He began pommelling me. "Turkey! Turkey!" I cried. The cry stopped his barking pursuit of the Kelpie. He rose to his feet and rushed to my aid.
When would it be convenient for you to go and look at some horses with me, Mr Lenorme?" he said. "I shall be at home all tomorrow," answered the painter, "and ready to go with you any time you like to come for me." As he spoke he held out his hand, and they parted like old friends. The next morning, Malcolm took Kelpie into the park, and gave her a good breathing.
His hour had come, an' he had fallen in a fit, as 'twould seem, head-foremost amang the water o' the trough, where he had been smothered, an' sae ye see, the prophecy o' the kelpie availed naething." There was once a gentleman that lived in a very grand house, and he married a young lady that had been delicately brought up.
Having urgently committed her to Merton's care, he mounted Honour, and rode to the Aberdeen wharf. There to his relief, time growing precious, he learned that the same smack in which Kelpie had come was to sail the next morning for Aberdeen. He arranged at once for her passage, and, before he left, saw to every contrivance he could think of for her safety and comfort.
