"P.S. Oh, I forget to tell you, it will be as well to barricade your door. For I left word with one of the servant lasses that I was off to Edinburgh. Father will likely call to see you, and he is sure to have with him the whip wherewith he downed the highwayman. But I know well your bravery, and do sincerely thank you for all you may have to undergo for me. "Charlotte."
I was immediately pulled down between two really handsome lasses in the circle; and, with something like savage hospitality, had my cheeks stuffed with the burning potatoes. Never was there a more hilarious meeting.
"What will ye be or ye behaud!" he exclaimed, after a brief pause of astonishment. "Do you ever dance in this part of the country?" she asked, heedless of his surprise. "No that muckle, at least amo' the fisherfowks, excep' it be at a weddin'. I was at ane last nicht." "And did you dance?" "'Deed did I, my leddy. I danced the maist o' the lasses clean aff o' their legs." "What made you so cruel?"
Don't be silly; it's the law, and no one can do aught against it, least of all women and lasses. By this time the vanguard of the crowd came pressing up Bridge Street, past the windows of Foster's shop.
I was determined to have the children, and make a regular family thing of it. I shall be 'the old squire' to those little lads and lasses some day, and they'll tell their children what a much finer young fellow I was than my own son. There's a table for the women and children below as well. But you will see them all you will come up with me after dinner, I hope?" "Yes, to be sure," said Mr.
A party of pleasure, gay lads and lasses riding together, careless of anything save the delight of the moment; a sudden leap of the horse, frightened at some obstacle; a fall, striking on a sharp stone, this was Miss Rejoice's little story. People in the village had forgotten that there was any story; even her own contemporaries almost forgot that Rejoice had ever been other than she was now.
Am I more gifted in mathematical insight; or do I know more about the history of kings and ancient wars? I can paint the merest bit; and my music is attuned for little else than the heavy heels of rustic swains and clumsy lasses. Now, Mr.
Gaffer Brown and Gammer Jones took the matter as it came, and the rosy-cheeked, red-cloaked village lasses sate under their broad hats entirely unmoved. My lord, from his pew, nodded slightly to the clergyman in the pulpit, when that divine's head and wig surged up from the cushion. "Sampson has been strong to-day," said his lordship. "He has assaulted the Philistines in great force."
As Rene passed along he spoke with a gay French freedom to the dames and lasses who chanced to be visible. His air would be regarded as violently brigandish in our day; we might even go so far as to think his whole appearance comical.
"Where is thy master, old hag, and where the bonny maid who glamours lords, and despises us bold lasses?" "Alack! master and the damsel have gone hours ago! I am alone in the house; what's your will?" "The crone looks parlous witchlike!" said Tim's father; crossing himself, and somewhat retreating from her gray, unquiet eyes.
