Whaur wud I be wi' a father 'at didna keep his word? and what less cud I du nor help ony man to keep his word? Gien breach o' the faimily-word cam throuw me, my life wud gang frae me. Wad ye hae me tell the laddie's mither? I wudna like to expose the folly o' him, but gien ye think it necessar, I'll gang the morn's mornin. 'I dinna think that wud be weel.
"No, Ralph, but something may happen to you if you don't heed me what I say." "Nothing that will trouble me much, Robbie nothing of that kind can happen now." "Yon gommarel of a Joe Garth, the blacksmith, has never forgotten the thrashing you gave him years ago for killing your dog Laddie's mother that was." "No, he'll never forgive me; but what of that? I've not looked for his forgiveness."
Gerald rubbed his eyes once or twice, and stifled a yawn; and Tricksy found that he was disinclined for conversation. 'Hulloa! cried a voice from the top of a ridge; and Marjorie and Hamish came racing down. Laddie's welcoming bark roused Gerald, who jumped into a sitting posture, and looked about him in a surprised way. 'Hulloa, Marjorie, said Allan; 'glad you've come.
"Came to make inquiries, did ye? Ye made enough inquiries, by all accounts, on the Terrace. Expression of regret, was it? We don't want yir regret, ye hypocritical Pharisee! Present of a top? I wonder ye have the face! Ye break a laddie's head and then offer him a top! I can buy tops myself for my family.
She had no business in our woods; you could see that they had plenty of their own. She went straight to the door of the willow room and walked in as if she belonged there. What if she found the hollow and took Laddie's letter! Fast as I could slip over the leaves, I went back. She was on the moss carpet, on her knees, and the letter was in her fingers.
"Tell me about it!" said Grandma Bell. "It's out in the barn," explained Laddie. "Russ got on something, and he can't stop running!" "Maybe he's in a trap!" exclaimed Laddie's mother. "If he was in a trap he couldn't run," said her husband. "I'll go out and see what it is." The other little Bunkers were still playing with Muffin, the big gray cat, as Mr. and Mrs.
"I see," muttered Mr Cupples. "This'll do no longer. The laddie's gaein' to the dogs for want o' bein' luikit efter. I maun be up the morn. It's thae wimmen! thae wimmen! Puir things! they canna aye help it; but, de'il tak' them for bonnie oolets! mony's the fine laddie they drive into the cluiks o' auld Horney.
Here I must say of my dragoons that they were men I loved to command. After twelve days' work of a sort to knock up an elephant they were as fresh as daisies. Donald they all feared, and as Donald, for my behoof, made no bones about telling them how the laddie's nief, sma' as it lookit, 'ad dinged 'im, Donald, oot o' his seven senses, they feared me. I think they even liked me.
Laddie's "bullets" and "cannon balls" hit the sand walls of the fort more often than they struck his brother and Russ only laughed at them, at the same time he was pelting Laddie. "Oh, say! this is no fun," complained the smaller boy after a bit. "I'm getting hit all the while and you don't get any at all." "I do so! I got hit twice!"
"I remember well a mark on the laddie's hand; a spike or a nail had run through it just between the bones of the fore and second finger. It was a curious mark to be in the hand of so small a child, and I mind well thinking that mark will never wear out, and I shall know the boy whenever I meet him again." While the old man was speaking, Rolf was examining his hand.
