He knew that it had opened the gates of womanhood to Kilmeny. Never again, he felt, would her eyes meet his with their old unclouded frankness. When next he looked into them he knew that he should see there the consciousness of his kiss. Behind her in the orchard that night Kilmeny had left her childhood.
But she shook her head sorrowfully, and wrote with compressed lips, "Yes, I do love you, but I will never marry you, because I cannot speak." "Oh, Kilmeny," said Eric smiling, for he believed his victory won, "that doesn't make any difference to me you know it doesn't, sweetest. If you love me that is enough." But Kilmeny only shook her head again.
There never was but three one in the spare room, and a little one in the kitchen, and Margaret's own. She broke them all the day it first struck her that Kilmeny was going to be bonny. I might have got one after she died maybe. But I didn't think of it; and there's no need of lasses to be always prinking at their looking glasses." But Eric pleaded and argued skilfully, and finally Janet said,
The last two lines are the shepherd's own remark, and a matter of opinion. But it is clear, I think, that Kilmeny must have described the same country as Durante saw, though, not having his experience, she could neither understand nor describe it so well. Now I must give you such fragments of recollection as Diamond was able to bring back with him.
On it was a hurt, bitter look, such as he remembered seeing once before, when he had asked her if she would not like to see the world for herself. "Kilmeny," he said in astonishment, "you don't really think yourself ugly, do you?" She nodded, without looking at him, and then wrote, "Oh, yes, I know that I am. I have known it for a long time.
"That is the story, Master, and I've been a long time telling it, as I dare say you think. But the past just seemed to be living again for me as I talked. If you don't want to be pestered with questions about Kilmeny Gordon, Master, you'd better not let on you've seen her." Eric was not likely to. He had heard all he wanted to know and more.
It was a fearsome time!" It would have been dreadful had the pleasure which "Kilmeny," "Queen Hynde," and the hundred other beautiful creations which the glorious old bard has given us, been all thus destroyed "at one fell swoop."
"Late, late in the gloaming, Kilmeny cam' hame." "Hullo, Rube; got back inter camp, eh? Been wanderin' about the forest all on your own, have you? I've waited for you; got tea ready, you see all but boilin' th' eggs. Guessed you'd relish a couple of eggs." Kiddie did not turn to look at Rube as he spoke.
He had got on better than he had expected so far; he must not now jeopardize what he had gained by rashness or impatience. "Why do you think so, Mr. Gordon?" he asked, regaining his self-control with an effort. "Well, plain speaking is best, Master. If you were to come here and see Kilmeny often she'd most likely come to think too much of you.
That evening he went to Mrs. Williamson, as she washed her tea dishes in the kitchen. "Mrs. Williamson, I am going back to the old Connors orchard to see Kilmeny again to-night." She looked at him reproachfully. "Well, Master, I have no more to say. I suppose it wouldn't be of any use if I had. But you know what I think of it." "I intend to marry Kilmeny Gordon if I can win her."
