Both were strong, beating and drenching; and it was so dark that I could hardly see the road. In the course of half an hour, I made the lassie's two miles, and in another, the whole of the actual distance, and found comfortable quarters in one of the temperance inns of Inverness, reaching it between nine and ten at night. Here I spent a quiet Sabbath, which I greatly enjoyed.
There being an infant of six months in the house it was a question of either Lisbeth or the lassie's staying at home with him, and though Lisbeth was unselfish in a general way, she could not resist the delight of going to church.
"Oh, he's an ass!" said Gourlay. "He takes after his mother in that! The lassie's more smart she favours our side o' the house! Eh, Jenny?" he inquired, and tugged her pigtail, smiling down at her in grim fondness. "Yes," nodded Janet, encouraged by the petting, "John's always at the bottom of the class.
"It's thrawing his daughter's life awa," said Saddletree to Butler, "to hear him speak in that daft gate. Where will he ever get a Cameronian advocate? Or wha ever heard of a lawyer's suffering either for ae religion or another? The lassie's life is clean flung awa."
"Ay," said the boatman, with a lazy, significant glance at the consul, "it wull be a lesson to me not to trust to a lassie's GANGIN' jo, when thair's anither yin comin'." "Give way," said the consul sharply. Yet his was the only irritated face in the boat as the men bent over their oars.
That was why a' the folks yer grand freen's, I mean were sae angry because ye had Liz here. But I believed in her mysel' up till she ran awa'. Although a lassie's led awa' she's no' aye lost; but I doot, I doot an' noo Liz is waur than we thocht. Gladys stood as if turned to stone. Slowly a dim comprehension seemed to dawn upon her; and it is no exaggeration to say that it was a shock of agony.
But charity is a word that's as little understood as virtue. You'll hear folk speak of a woman as virtuous when she may be as evil and as wretched a creature as walks this earth. They mean that she's never sinned the one sin men mean when they say a lassie's not virtuous! As if just abstaining frae that ane sin could mak' her virtuous!
Now I must hurry along and get my rye. Another time I'll give you a lift, be sure of that!" "I don't want any pay ... Go'-night!" "Don't you want anything for helping me?" asked Börje. "What's come over you, that you're so stuck-up all at once?" "Well, you see, it's it's the lassie's birthday to-day." "And for that I got help with my digging?" "Yes, for that and for something else, too!
Janet's labor's no going to waste. An' if you were the on'y man i' Zorra, it wad behoove me to conseeder the lassie's prospects i' the next world. Ye're a Methodist." "Meanin'," said Timmins, when his mind had grappled with the charge, "as there's no Methodists there?"
Quickly the big vessel overhauled the collier brig, and signals were made to pull down her flag, whereupon the Englishman grunted. Within a minute a puff was seen, and a round shot whizzed close past the Ouseburn Lassie's bows. "Give them a reply!" George urged in great excitement. "Wait a bit, my lad," and the skipper bided his time.
