Towards the end of August 1867, her Majesty Queen Victoria, visiting the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, at Floors Castle, was received with great rejoicings at the various Scottish border towns on the Waverley route from Carlisle to Kelso. On this occasion her Majesty honoured Mr. and Lady Victoria Hope-Scott by calling at Abbotsford.
The nursing and the care of the baby soon broke the health of Mrs. Kelso, never a strong woman. Bim came home from her work one evening and found her mother ill. "Cheer up, my daughter," said Jack. "An old friend of ours has returned to the city. He is a rich man an oasis in the desert of poverty. He has loaned me a hundred dollars in good coin." "Who has done this?" Bim asked. "Mr. Lionel Davis.
The nearest Episcopal chapel was at Kelso, a distance of ten miles. The child still remained unbaptized. 'It hasna a name yet, said the ignorant meddlers, who had no higher idea of the ordinance. It was a source of much uneasiness to my wife, and gave rise to some family quarrelling. Months succeeded weeks, and eventually the child was carried to the Episcopal church.
He pretty well knew that both his parents would oppose his going to sea, but he hoped, by a private application to his uncle, to get him round to his side of the question; and, in short, he had resolved to gain his point by some means or other. When Mr. Martin joined them at Kelso, he found William and his uncle on the best terms possible.
On another morning, a few days following Ruth's discovery of the shooting of Kelso, she found Hagar standing on the porch. The dog had apprised Hagar of the coming of her visitor. Hagar's first words were: "Did you hear? Rex Randerson killed Kelso." "I heard about it some days ago," said Ruth. "It's horrible!"
And Kelso how plain and simple it seemed to him now Kelso was Dorgan, sitting opposite him now! Kelso minus his mustache, looking much different than when he had seen him last, but Kelso, just the same undeniably Kelso!
One evening when Davis sat alone with her, she told him the story of Bim and Harry Needles a bit of knowledge he was glad to have. Their talk was interrupted by the return of Bim. She was in a cheerful mood. When Mr. Davis had gone she said to her mother: "I think our luck has turned. Here's a letter from John T. Stuart. The divorce has been granted." "Thank the Lord," Mrs. Kelso exclaimed.
The next place visited was Kelso, where they admired the old abbey, and went to see Roxburgh Castle, thence to Jedburgh, where he met a Miss Hope and a Miss Lindsay, the latter of whom 'thawed his heart into melting pleasure after being so long frozen up in the Greenland Bay of indifference amid the noise and nonsense of Edinburgh. When he left this romantic city his thoughts were not of the honour its citizens had done him, but of Jed's crystal stream and sylvan banks, and, above all, of Miss Lindsay, who brings him to the verge of verse.
"Please don't ever look at the new moon through a knot hole," she said in a half whisper. The young man laughed. "Why not?" "If you do, you'll never get married." "I mustn't look at the new moon through a knot hole and I must beware of the flute and the snare drum," said Mr. Biggs. "Don't be alarmed by my daughter's fancies," Kelso advised. "They are often rather astonishing.
"If you're going to follow every tourist that got on a train next morning between Berwick and Wooler, and Berwick and Kelso, and Berwick and Burnmouth, and Berwick and Blyth, you'll have your work set, I'm thinking!" "All the same," said Chisholm doggedly, "that's how it's been.
