"Sweet blushes stayned her rud-red cheek, Her eyen were black as sloe, The ripening cherrye swelled her lippe, And all her neck was snow. Sir Gawain kist that ladye faire Lying upon the sheete, And swore, as he was a true knight, The spice was never so swete." The dissolution of the charm which had held the lady also released her brother, the "grim baron," for he too had been implicated in it.
She had sat down in the big rush chair, by the still burning turfs, and she was looking round her with the critical eye of a person who is calculating the capabilities of a place. Maggie left her sitting there, and began to tidy up the house. In half an hour Janet re-appeared, and went to her kist a great wooden box painted light blue and began to undo its many cords and lock.
George did as he was bid, and setting their knees against the hollowed stone, they tugged till their muscles cracked. "It's a-moving," said George. "Now thin, Colonel." Next second they both found themselves on the flat of their backs. The stone had given with a run. Up sprang Harold like a kitten. The broken stone was standing edgeways in the kist. There was something soft beneath it.
Well, thinks the young woman, what a vast difference there is between being a married woman & a maid! How every one receives & treats you! What respect and honour every one shews you! How you go daily in all your gallantry taking pleasure! And how every where you are fawn'd upon, imbrac'd and kist, receiving all manner of friendship!
And so we eat and were very glad and happy, someways as children are happy, and our hearts all at ease. And presently, we eat each our second tablet, in the same wise as the first. And truly I did be kist more than once. And afterward, we drank each of the water. And when we had made an end, Naani told me that I move to stand; and surely I wondered; and I stood up, and lo!
"The suitors had na your wit, my manny, or maybe they had na a penny to toss, sae ane chused the gowd, ane the siller; but they got an awfu' affront. The gold kist had just a skull intil't, and the siller a deed cuddy's head!" Chorus of Females. "He! he! he!" Ditto of Males. "Haw! haw! haw! haw! Ho!" Christie. "An' Porsha puttit the pair of gowks to the door.
I that is as muckle as to say, search and ye'll find number twa. Besides, yon kist is only silver, and I aye heard that' Misticot's pose had muckle yellow gowd in't." "Den, mine goot friends," said the adept, jumping up hastily, "why do we not set about our little job directly?"
If you will be taking time and rummaging about in some old kist, you will be finding these clothes to this day, with the infinite deal of sewing on them, and the beautiful buttons, and you will likely be finding too an old lease maybe, with all the stipulations anent the burning of kelp.
And so we to go forward again, the closer, in that we do be the more knit in dear human sympathy. And surely the Maid kist me very nice on the lips, and did promise again how that she should make me a great meal when that we did come to our Mighty Home; and, indeed, as she to say, she to join with me, and we both to be naughty gluttons for that once.
And we kist each the tablets of the other, and did drink from the same cup, and did be utter happy; and did be part like children, but also to be man and maid. And presently, the Maid did shift my bandages, as alway, and washt me proper, and had me into comfort.
