There was a salver with cake and wine on the table. He took up a glass, drank "to all true hearts that lo'ed Scotland," and offered a glass to his guest. Jeanie, however, declined it, saying, "that she had never tasted wine in her life." "How comes that, Jeanie?" said the Duke, "wine maketh glad the heart, you know."
His right hand shot out from the shoulder with a sudden impulse that seemed rather mechanical than an action of the will, and, catching the speaker full in the mouth, laid him on the carpet senseless and streaming with blood. "Look doun, look doun now, ladye fair, On him ye lo'ed sae weel; A brawer man than yon blue corse Never drew sword of steel."
He's weel-behavin', an' isna makin' a blatterin' i' an auld kirkyaird. He aye minds what he's bidden to do. He's cheerfu' an' busy, keepin' the proolin' pussies an' vermin frae the sma' birdies i' the nests. He mak's friends o' ilka body, an' he's faithfu'. For a deid man he lo'ed he's gaun hungry; an' he hasna forgotten 'im or left 'im by 'is lane at nicht for mair years than some o' ye are auld.
"We shall see what happens when Owd Bob beats him for the Cup, as he certainly will. That'll be the critical moment." As things were, the little man spent all his spare moments with the Cup between his knees, burnishing it and crooning to Wullie: "I never saw a fairer, I never lo'ed a dearer, And neist my heart I'll wear her, For fear my jewel tine." "There, Wullie! look at her! is she no bonnie?
Better lo'ed ye canna be, Will ye no' come back again?" 'A strange terror seized us. Instinctively the men closed up in front of the body, and stood in silence. Nearer and nearer came the clear, sweet voice, ringing like a silver bell up the steep "Sweet the lav'rock's note and lang, Liltin' wildly up the glen, But aye tae me he sings ae sang, Will ye no' come back again?"
"Hout tout, man! let that flee stick in the wa'," answered his kinsman; "when the dirt's dry it will rub out Your father, honest man, could look ower a friend's fault as weel as anither." "Ye may be right, Robin," replied the Bailie, after a moment's reflection; "he was a considerate man the deacon; he ken'd we had a' our frailties, and he lo'ed his friends Ye'll no hae forgotten him, Robin?"
Being anxious to hear the story of her who had presided at his board, I bade him recount to me the sad circumstances. She was a "bonnie lassie," and he had "lo'ed her muckle." There they had lived for twelve years, shut out from the rest of the world, yet content.
And now, Abel Sampson, as ever ye lo'ed the house of Ellangowan, away wi' my message, to the English Colonel, as if life and death were upon your haste!" So saying, she turned suddenly from the amazed Dominie, and regained with swift and long strides the shelter of the wood from which she had issued, at the point where it most encroached upon the common.
She sat down beside what was left of Steenie, and ate of the oatcake, and drink of the milk she had carried forgotten until now. 'I won'er what God 'll du wi' the twa! she said to herself. 'Gien I lo'ed them baith as I did, he lo'es them better! I wud hae dee'd for them; he did! She rose and went out. Light had come at last, but too dim to be more than gray.
