There were Ben Linn and Ben Lody; and the whole territory belonging to Mr. Kennedy. He was laird of Linn and laird of Linter, as his people used to say. And yet his father had walked into Glasgow as a little boy, no doubt with the normal half-crown in his breeches pocket. "Magnificent; is it not?" said Phineas to the Treasury Secretary, as they were being driven up to the door.
In fact, he had no idea of them at all. He was worn and weary after the long, hard eighty-mile ride. The fire was warm, the room still and peaceful; no sound broke the silence but Hurley's occasional step and soft whistle out in the "linter" at the rear where lay his packing-boxes. Possibly Davies may have become drowsy, dreamy, as he reclined there.
Kennedy could occupy himself with a blue book for hours together without wincing. So Phineas went to work again with his Alison, and read away till he nodded. In those days he often wandered up and down the Linter and across the moor to the Linn, and so down to the lake.
If he would have spoken of his love, and of her mistake, and have made some half-suggestion as to what might have been their lives had things gone differently, though she would have rebuked him even for that, still it would have comforted her. But at this moment, though he remembered much that had passed between them, he was not even thinking of the Braes of Linter.
I never believed in idle luxuries, only comfort, solid comfort, and my wife will have a luxurious home of a story and a half upright, and a linter, groceries and necessaries all provided, and all she will have to do will be the housework and gently train and care for the minds and bodies of the little ones, with some help from the oldest set of triplets, and make my home agin an oasis of joy, a Eden below.
