"Yon puir lassie's feyther, no content wi' bein' just a plain man like ony ither miller, must needs try to mak a big fortune, and some o' thae speculatin' deils I canna ca' them by ony ither name got hand o' the auld man, an' ae fine day his fortune's awa the vera hoose he's livin' in no his ain, a' signed awa, an' he in debt.
But the lassie's able to pay for her ain upbringin'." "It's no far 'at a hunner and fifty'll gang i' thae times, woman. An' it's a pity to tak frae the prencipal. She'll be merryin' some day." "Ow, 'deed, maybe. Bairns will be fules." "Weel, end na ye pit it oot at five per cent., and there wad aye be something comin' o' 't?
Both halves of the door were open, and the visitor had looked us over carefully before knocking; but he had come with the compliments of Tibbie's mother, requesting the pleasure of Jess and her man that evening to the lassie's marriage with Sam'l Todd, and the knocking at the door was part of the ceremony.
They glanced at each other in surprise and perplexity. "Ah, ha, ah, ha! um, h'm! ah, ah! the lassie's no there, eh?" said a voice behind them, and turning quickly at the sound, whom should they see but Mr. Lilburn standing in the open doorway leading to the hall. "But we know all about her now, sir," said Arthur with a laugh, in which he was joined by every one present.
I told him that was a man's work, not a lassie's; and at that he took up a stick, and struck me with it across the back." And here she sobbed again. I did not speak, but I felt my blood run hot in indignation against Carver Kinlay. I would have liked to thrash him. "If I were a lad like you, Halcro," she continued, "it's not long I would bide at Crua Breck. I would run away to sea.
'She is at present in a very high fever, and the doctor has been to see her, your Grace. 'I tell you, madam, that I 'll send, at my own expense, for the best doctors in Edinburgh, even in London. That lassie's life has got to be saved, and my pocket is wide open for the purpose. I wonder, now, if I could peep at her. I 'd very much like to. 'I greatly fear not to-day, your Grace.
As I approached he rose, and came to meet me with the brogues in his hand. "Man, Peter," said he, "I maun juist be gangin'." "Going!" I repeated; "going where?" "Back tae Glenure the year is a'most up, ye ken, an' I wadna' hae ma brither Alan afore me wi' the lassie, forbye he's an unco braw an' sonsy man, ye ken, an' a lassie's mind is aye a kittle thing."
Men are neither one thing nor t'other neither good nor bad. A prudent parson has nothing to fear from 'em nor a foolish one any thing to gain baugh! As to the women creturs, your honour, as I said, vartue's a deal in the constitution. Would not ask what a lassie's mind be nor what her eddycation; but see what her habits be, that's all habits and constitution all one play into one another's hands."
I believe that not seeing as much of your sister as usual is one of my poor lassie's troubles, but it may be best it may be best.
Was it Lassie's bark my brother's collie? an ugly enough brute, with a white, ill-looking face, that my father always kicked whenever he saw it, partly for its own demerits, partly because it belonged to my brother. On such occasions, Gregory would whistle Lassie away, and go off and sit with her in some outhouse.
