"Where is Etterick?" she asked; and a light on a hillside farther up the glen was pointed out to her. "It's a very fresh and pleasant place to stay at," said Arthur. "We're much higher than you are at Glenavelin, and the house is bigger and older. But we simply camp in a corner of it. You can never get Lewie to live like other people. He is the best of men, but his tastes are primeval.
"Then you had better ask Lewie's permission." And Lady Manorwater laughed. "Who is Lewie?" asked the girl, anticipating some gamekeeper or shepherd. "Lewie is my nephew. He lives at Etterick, up at the head of the glen." Miss Afflint spoke for the first time. "A very good man. You should know Lewie, Miss Wishart. I'm sure you would like him.
"Who is this Lewis the well-beloved?" said Mr. Stocks. "I was talking about a very different person Lewis Haystoun, the author of a foolish book on Kashmir." "Don't you like it?" said Lord Manorwater, pleasantly. "Well, it's the same man. He is my nephew, Lewie Haystoun. He lives at Etterick, four miles up the glen. You will see him over here to-morrow or the day after." Mr.
They are all that's good, and a great deal better than most men. But then, you know, if you get a man really first-class he's so much better than all but the very best women that you've got to look after him. To ordinary beggars like myself it doesn't matter a straw, but I won't have Lewie throwing himself away." "Then is the ancient race of the Haystouns to disappear from the earth?"
Arthur slipped one into his pocket, but tore open the other and read. "It's from Lewie," he cried. "He wants me down there next week at Etterick. He says he is all alone and crazy to see old friends again." "Mine's the same!" said George, after puzzling out Mr. Haystoun's by no means legible writing. "I say, John, of course we'll go. It's the very chance we were wishing for."
He's rather famous now, you know, and we may expect to find him very dignified and wise. He'll be able to teach us most things, and we'll have to listen with proper humility." "I'll give you fifty to one he's nothing of the kind," said George. "He has his faults like us all, but they don't run in that line. No, no, Lewie will be modest enough.
I have suspected myself for long, now I know myself and-ugh! the knowledge is a hideous thing." Wratislaw stood regarding his companion seriously. "I wonder what will happen to you, Lewie. Life is serious enough without inventing a crotchety virtue to make it miserable." "Can't you understand me, Tommy? It isn't that I'm a cad, it's that I am a coward. I couldn't be a cad supposing I tried.
The ordinary smart, pretty girl, who adorns the end of a dinner-table and makes an admirable mistress of a house, he would never think twice about. But for all his sanity Lewie has many cranks, and a woman might get him on that side." "Don't talk of it. I can picture the horrid reality.
The companies that were to compose the Fifteenth Regiment assembled at the old camping ground at Lightwood Knot Spring, three miles above Columbia. They were: Company A Captain Brown, Richland. Company B Captain Gist, Union. Company C Captain Lewie, Lexington. Company D Captain Warren, Kershaw. Company E Captain Davis, Fairfield. Company F Captain Boyd, Union.
He has the same endearing manners and irresponsible mind. I had to fish him out of several rock-pools after you left." Alice laughed, and Lady Manorwater said in wonder, "I didn't know you had met Lewie before, Alice." "Miss Wishart and I forgathered accidentally at the Midburn yesterday," said the man. "Oh, you went there," cried the aggrieved Arthur, "and you never told me!
