"Hoot, woman," rejoined the other, "ye've a butt and a ben; the house would haud ye a' brawly. And, though our lassie's owre young to be a wife to onybody, and I was only passin a joke about her and Sandy, if she were a year or twa aulder, and if a'thing were agreeable, I canna say but I would like weel to see them gang thegither.
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.
Flossie knew he was afraid, and there was mischief in the merry Irish lassie's heart, as she replied: "Danger, oh, no, if she is kept quiet and carefully nursed, the doctor says she will soon get well enough to be moved." "Yes, I know that, of course," Neil stammered. "I mean, is there any danger of my taking it from her from the room from the air, you know? "Are you afraid of it?"
Tammy, gin ye tak' 'im up to Maister Traill, he'll gie ye the shullin'!" "I couldna tak' 'im by ma lane," was the pathetic confession. "Wad ye gang wi' me, Ailie? Ye could drap ower an' catch 'im, an' I could come by the gate. Faither made me some grand crutches frae an' auld chair back." Tears suddenly drowned the lassie's blue eyes and ran down her pinched little cheeks. "Nae, I couldna gang.
So I determined to rally him a wee thought on the subject, in order to bring him back to his senses; for, when a haflins laddie is labouring under the first dizziness o' a bonnie lassie's influence, I dinna consider that he is capable o' either seeing, feeling, hearing, or acting wi' the common-sense discretion o' a reasonable being. It is a pleasant heating and wandering o' the brain.
He has found out his mistake by this time, no doubt." "You knew he was going to leave 'The Line' then?" "Yes, we let him go; and I heard say that he had shipped on an American line, sailing to Cuba, or New Orleans, or somewhere near the equator." "Well, I shall try and find him." "I wouldn't, if I was you. He is sure to come back to his home again. He showed me a lock of the lassie's hair.
In short, I was haunted with the fancy, that Captain Armour was no other than the misfortunate lassie's poor brother, who had in so pathetical a manner attended her and the magistrates to the scaffold; and, what was very strange, I was not the only one in the kirk who thought the same thing; for the resemblance, while Mr Pittle was praying, had been observed by many; and it was the subject of discourse in my shop on the Monday following, when the whole history of that most sorrowful concern was again brought to mind.
I felt him unkind thus to keep me from slumber, but on his repeating the question, I pulled out my pocket-handkerchief, of some showy pattern, which Aunt Fanny had hemmed for me Gregory took it, and tied it round Lassie's neck. "Hie thee, Lassie, hie thee home!" And the white-faced ill-favoured brute was off like a shot in the darkness. Now I might lie down now I might sleep.
Then a lassie's voice began to sing, all alone: "I grieved my Lord from day to day, I scorned His love, so full and free, And though I wandered far away, My Mother's prayers have followed me. I'm coming home, I'm coming home, To live my wasted life anew, For Mother's prayers have followed me, Have followed me, the whole world through.
To all which Gregory would answer nothing, nor even seem to hear, but go on looking absent and moody. Yes! there again! It was Lassie's bark! Now or never! I lifted up my voice and shouted "Lassie! Lassie! for God's sake, Lassie!"
