"If you think that would have weighed with Andrew, I ought to have been his wife, for I know him better than you." Dawtie smiled at that. "But I do know, mem," she said, "that Andrew was fit to cast the lairdship frae him to comfort ony puir lassie. I would ha' lo'ed him a' the same." "As I have done, Dawtie," said Alexa, solemnly.
I followed my laird up-stairs to his ain room, where his lairdship's valet, Mr. Kerr, was waiting on him. His lairdship wrote a braw note of acknowledgements to my maister, and gie it me to take away. My laird also gie me a half-sovereign, for mysel'. I dinna tak' the note just then to my maister.
On entering and beholding his master, the old man started and exclaimed in affright: "Gude guide us, me laird, what has come over ye?" "Nothing, Cuthbert, but want of rest. What is that you have in your hand?" "The evening paper, me laird, that ane o' the lads gi'e me to bring your lairdship."
"But he wouldn't have thrown me away for you, if he hadn't loved you, Dawtie. Be sure of that. He might have made nothing of the lairdship, but he wouldn't have made nothing of me." "That's true, mem. I dinna doobt it." "I love him still and you mustn't mind me saying it, Dawtie. There are ways of loving that are good, though there be some pain in them.
And when I went into the library, his lairdship said till me: "'Murdock, these people have come about some gorillas that are said to be missing. What about them? "'If your lairdship means the puir negro bodies, I dinna ken; I hae nae seen ane of them the day, I answered.
The next morning, when his old servant Cuthbert entered the cell as usual, he was frightened at his master's dreadful looks. "Will I call a doctor to your lairdship?" inquired the old man. "No, Cuthbert; I am not ill. I am only suffering for want of rest. I have not been able to sleep since Frisbie's arraignment. He is convicted, you know." "Aye, me laird, I ken a' anent it.
The thing was hung as a target in a leafless cherry tree at twenty paces, and the cockade was to be the centre mark. Each man was to fire three shots apiece. Barshalloch for so his companions called my opponent after his lairdship made a great to-do about the loading, and would not be content till he had drawn the charge two three times.
He was a minor, ye ken, being but twenty years of age, and sae he could na be lawfu' married in France nor in England, and sae he brought his player-woman to auld Scotland and made her his wife woe worth the day!" "This must have been a terrible mortification to the earl?" "Ye may weel say that, me leddy. His lairdship never saw or spoke to Mr. Kenneth afterwards.
Yea but, said he, where didst thou shite? In your throat, my lord, said I. Ha, ha! thou art a merry fellow, said he. We have with the help of God conquered all the land of the Dipsodes; I will give thee the Chastelleine, or Lairdship of Salmigondin. Gramercy, my lord, said I, you gratify me beyond all that I have deserved of you. How Pantagruel became sick, and the manner how he was recovered.
"If I am rightly informed," said the lord, "you have been for many years employed on the Portray property?" "A' my life, so please your lairdship." "Just so; just so. And, of course, interested in the welfare of the Eustace family?" "Nae doobt, my laird, nae doobt; vera interasted indeed."
