Colonel Davis was one among the best tacticians in the command; had a soldierly appearance tall, well-developed, a commanding voice, and an all round good officer. He returned home after the war and began the practice of medicine, and continues it to the present. Colonel F.S. Lewie was born in Lexington County, in 1830, and received his early training there.
He makes us plunge off a verandah into a loch first thing in the morning, you know, and I shall certainly drown some day, for I am never more than half awake, and I always seem to go straight to the bottom. Then he is crazy about long expeditions, and when the Twelfth comes we shall never be off the hill. He is a long way too active for these slack modern days." Lewie, Lewie!
I am going in for politics, as I always intended, and for the rest I shall live a quiet country life at Etterick. I've a wonderful talent for rusticity." The Doctor shot an inquiring glance from beneath the flaps of his hat. "I never can make up my mind about you, Lewie." "I daresay not. It is long since I gave up trying to make up my mind about myself."
"I won't," said George, "and in any case I'll make my book for that. You must let me come, Lewie. I simply couldn't stand your going off alone." "But I may have to leave you. There are places where one can go when two can't." "When you come to that sort of place I'll stay behind. I'll be quite under your orders." "Well, at any rate take some time to think over it."

Lady Manorwater, ever garrulous on family matters, readily enlightened him. "Etterick is his, and really all the land round here. We simply live on a patch in the middle of it. The shooting is splendid, and Lewie is a very keen sportsman.
The others are Tairo, a very old Japanese doll in the costume of the feudal warriors, Thora from Iceland, Marit the Norwegian bride, Erik and Brita from Sweden, Giuseppe and Marietta from Rome, Heidi and Peter from the Alps, Gisela from Thuringia, Cecilia from Hungary, Annetje from Holland, Lewie Gordon from Edinburgh, Christie Johnstone the Newhaven fishwife, Sambo and Dinah the cotton- pickers.
"And round buttons, too," he said, indignantly; "what on earth was the use of making round buttons when flat ones had been invented? A big hole and a flat button will hold against anything even against Scotch whins and heather. There, now, that abominable job is done." "You are fond of strong language, Lewie," said Lawrence, as he examined the spike at the end of his alpenstock. "I am.
