"Are ye gangin' to tak' Bobby on a picnic, Maister Traill?"
She turned on her heel abruptly, took two or three spasmodic steps and stopped suddenly, confronted with another picture one of imagination that of Jack Wingfield lying dead. The recollection of a voice, the voice that had stopped the approach of Leddy's passion-inflamed face to her own on the pass, sounded in her ears.
"I heard ye were here frae the bit callant ye sent to meet your carriage," said the beggar, as he trudged stoutly on a step or two behind Miss Wardour; "and I couldna bide to think o' the dainty young leddy's peril, that has aye been kind to ilka forlorn heart that cam near her.
Tammy Pennyquick's youngest but twa is page-boy at the hoose where the leddy's been veesitin', on the outskirts o' Pairth. Keep a secret if ye can frae the pawky ears o' yer domestics in the servants' hall! Eh! she's aff, without a word at parting!" he exclaimed, as Anne left him without ceremony in the middle of his dissertation on secrets and servants' halls.
Mary could feel her temples beating with the fear of what was waiting for him in Little Rivers, now a dark mass on the levels, just dark, without color or any attraction except the mystery that goes with the shroud of night.

"I canna mind the exact name, but she's ca'ed the Honourable an' she's bringin' a leddy's maid." "Gosh, Maggie!" ejaculated Jock. "I asked you not to say that, Jock," Jean reminded him.

"What I am? why, wha should I be but Ringan Aikwood, the Knockwinnock poinder? and what are ye doing here at this time o' night, unless ye were come to attend the leddy's burial?" "I do declare to you, mine goot Poinder Aikwood," said the German, raising himself up, "that I have been this vary nights murdered, robbed, and put in fears of my life."

The room is e'en clear o' Sir Paitrick, and the leddy's alane, and waitin' for ye." In a moment more Arnold was back in the sitting-room. "Well?" he asked, anxiously. "What is it? Bad news from Lady Lundie's?" Anne closed and directed the letter to Blanche, which she had just completed. "No," she replied. "Nothing to interest you." "What did Sir Patrick want?"

A track led across the moor, and down it Gimblet saw a farm cart advancing, driven by a man who shouted as he approached: "The young leddy's comin' doon tae meet ye, sir." And behind him, on the near skyline, the detective beheld the hurrying figure of a girl.
