"It's Calf-Gibbie, my leddy," said John, in a tone rather above the pitch of decorous respect, on which he occasionally trespassed, confiding in his merit as an ancient servant of the family and a faithful follower of their humble fortunes, "It's Calf-Gibbie, an your leddyship will hae't, that keeps Edie Henshaw's kye down yonder at the Brigg-end, that's him that was Guse-Gibbie at Tillietudlem, and gaed to the wappinshaw, and that "

"If yer leddyship will be tackin' a seat in the machine," he hazarded, "it'll maybe save ye the trail up the brae." Lady Ruth accepted the suggestion with great content. She was getting very tired, and was finding the walk more exhausting than she had bargained for. She lost no time in climbing up beside Angus, and the fat pony was induced to continue its reluctant progress.
"I don't understand you one bit," said Lady Florimel petulantly. As she spoke, she went on, but, the blast having abated, Malcolm lingered, to place a proper distance between them.

"Silvester," she said, sharply. "Presairve us a'!" cried Mrs. Inchbare.
