She had waited so long for her recognition, and now it was coming. She felt that it would not be long before she was recognised as one of the singers of the world. Indeed, had she but known it, her recognition was already on its way. In a great city of the north a clever young reporter was cutting open the leaves of "The Heather Lintie" with a hand almost feverishly eager.
Afterwards she confided to Lintie that it had struck her as bearing a faint very faint resemblance to the mouth of a friend. "Of a very particular friend?" inquired Lintie, who was sharp-witted. Aileen blushed and hid her face on the neck of her friend, and suddenly poured out her soul, which the other drank up with avidity.
And so it turned out that one Sabbath evening, when they were seated beneath a tree in the King's Park, and William had cautiously introduced the subject to her, she was like other women. "The bird that gets into the bush," she said, as the tears fell upon her cheeks, "sometimes forgets to come back to the cage again. I would rather hae the lean lintie in the hand, than the fat finch on the wand."
You'll wear my mother's white brocade that she first donned when she became a Leslie, sib to Rothes no a bit housewife of a south-country laird. She was a noble woman, and you're but a heather lintie of a lass to come of a good kind. So God bless you, bairn; ye'll tak the blast of wind and gang." As if the benediction had loosened the arrested tongue, Nelly burst out "Oh, mother, mother! no."
The wren him that hops in the grass below the birks has the story of the Lost Ladies of the Land, which is ower auld and sad for any but the wisest to hear; and there is a wee bird bides in the heather-hill lintie men call him who sings the Lay of the West Wind, and the Glee of the Rowan Berries. But what am I talking of?
My grandfather told them to take with them whatsoever they best liked in the house; and it was a moving sight to see their simplicity therein. One was content with a flower-pot; another took a cage in which she had a lintie; some of them half-finished patterns of embroidery.
"That'll do me no harm," growled Edgar, stooping to catch hold of the air-tube, and making an excuse for sidling and backing towards his seat. "Oh! What a fright! And such a figure!" exclaimed Lintie; "come round, let us try to get a nearer view of him."
