"Wad you hae married me, Mysie, if I had asked you afore you went awa'?" and his hands were again stroking tenderly the brown hair and patting the thin cheeks as he spoke and plead. "Ay, Rob," she answered simply, "I wad hae married you. I sometimes think yet that I'll never marry onybody else. As a lassie I aye dreamed in my ain mind that I'd be your wife.
I must confess, however, that, when I was but a lassie o' sixteen, I had drawn up wi' one James Laidlaw but I should score out the word one, and just say that I had drawn up wi' James Laidlaw. He was a year, or maybe three, aulder than me, and I kenned him when he was just a laddie, at Mr.
"Eh, Glenfernie! is there news of the lassie?" "None. You've got the sight. Can you not see?" "It's gane from me! When it gaes I'm just like ony bird with a broken wing." "If you cannot see, what do you think?" "I dinna want to think and I dinna want to say. Whaur be ye gaeing now?" "On over the moor and down by the Kelpie's Pool." "Gae on then. I'll watch for ye coming back." He went on.
Hannah was not an Irishwoman, no, nor a Scotch lassie, or her very first request would have been for us to take "a pickle of soup," or "a sup of thae warm broths." The soup was no doubt cooking for Hannah's husband and two neighbours, who were chopping for him in the bush; and whose want of punctuality she feelingly lamented.
'Little lassie, forgive me now! I cannot live to see the morn! There was no answer, only a long miserable sigh, and he felt her soft cheek laid upon his hand, and the quiver that ran through her whole body. 'I did thee a cruel wrong, he said, at length. 'I see it now. But I'm a dying man.
So we both sat down on the rustic bench under the blowy pines, and I cried like a spring torrent, and Robin patted my hand steadily, which seems an odd thing for one's uncle's gardener to do, till I got through. Then I laughed and said, "Maybe I'll shoot myself." And he answered calmly, "I hope not, lassie."
We may search the famous 'Rule and Exercises of Holy Living' from cover to cover, and not learn that Jeremy Taylor would have thought that any activity of the district-visitor or the Salvation lassie came within the category of saintliness. My Father, then, like an old divine, concentrated on thoughts upon the intellectual part of faith.
"They're like a pack o' cards shuffle them as ye will before the game begins, the honours must still come together at the finish. "Well, Thora, lassie," he continued, turning round to Thora Kinlay, "and how are ye all up at Crua Breck?" "Oh, we're all fine, thank you, sir," said the girl; "only Crumpie fell over the Neban bank yestreen and broke her leg."
"She's mickle as ye laft her, Miss Flora, only weaker; I'm thinkin' she'll no be lang the now. But come ben, my bonnie lassie; you're as welcome as flowers in May. And how's a' wi' ye?" Flora answered as we were following Elsie down the chamber and round a screen which boxed off the end of it. Behind the screen was a bed, and on it lay, as I thought, the oldest woman on whom I ever set my eyes.
She was so blind with hate of Yaverland that she was not aware of his presence till he bent over her, whinneying in the slow, complacent accents of Scottish sentiment, "Nelly, Nelly, what ails ye, lassie? Nothing's happened! I'll put it all right." "Yes, of course nothing's happened!" she snapped, her hand on the doorknob. "Who said it had?"
