She sprang down lightly from her perch and advanced towards the house, smiling in her most fascinating manner. "How do you do, Mrs McNab? We have arrived, you see. So glad to be here at last!" The mistress of the inn stared into her face, stolidly unmoved. "It was two brithers I was expecting. I'm no caring for leddies!" "You like gentlemen better? Oh, so do I Much!" cried Margot with a gush.
Speak, noo, my leddies your lives are i' the hands o' the idiot cratur Geordie Willison. If ye gang to the court, ye are saved if ye winna, ye are lost. Will ye gang, or will ye hang?" The women were both terrified by the statement of Geordie.
"Ay, but ye see, oot here amo' the gentry it's no freely sae ill, an' the ro'ds are no a' stane; an' here, ye see, 's the place whaur they come, leddies an' a', to ha'e their rides thegither. What I'm fleyt for is 'at she'll be brackin' legs wi' her deevilich kickin'."
"Ou ay; that I will, Frank," said Madge, taking hold of Jeanie by the arm, and pulling her along; "for it's no for decent Christian young leddies, like her and me, to be keeping the like o' you and Tyburn Tam company at this time o' night. Sae gude-e'en t'ye, sirs, and mony o' them; and may ye a' sleep till the hangman wauken ye, and then it will be weel for the country."
Na, nane o' our family hae come to that yet, let me be thankfu', and I'll mak a fend without it." "Then how do you live?" "Ye may say that. Whiles the young leddies at the castle gie me a pickle tea or the like that's the youngest ane, her they ca' Leddy Louisa: she's just an angel o' licht. Eh, if a' body was like her!"
Mrs. Morran looked once at Saskia, and then did a thing which she had not done since her girlhood. She curtseyed. "I'm proud to see ye here, Mem. Off wi' your things, and I'll get ye dry claes, Losh, ye're fair soppin' And your shoon! Ye maun change your feet.... Dickson! Awa' up to the loft, and dinna you stir till I give ye a cry. The leddies will change by the fire.
"Is he daft?" he muttered to himself; "is he clean daft a'thegither, to bring lords and leddies, and a host of folk behint them, and twal o'clock chappit?"
That's jes' where leddies makes such work for Satan's hands to do; they never thinks of the envy and jealousy and spite as eats away the 'arts of poor gels what sees all these fine things, and ain't got no chance for to have them for theirselves!" Here, sidling along the floor, she picked up the pink shoes to which Walden had called her attention, first one and then the other. "Well!
Another hundred yards settled it: the Indefatigable Woman made her overlap and went by like a snake, and the Irishman pulled in his oar and said: "Well, Heaven bless the leddies, anyway!" Seth Ede turned round and swore at him vicious-like, and he fell to rowing again: but the whole thing had become a procession.
Gay nodded, and proceeded to support him. "Y'see, most of our leddies has got higher than 'cordions an' sech things. Though I 'lows a concertina takes a beatin'. Still, education has got loose on Barnriff, an' I heerd tell as ther's some o' the folks yearnin' fer piannys. I did hear one of our leadin' citizens, Mr. Anthony Smallbones, was about to finance a brass band layout."
