Mac-Morlan should take possession of the house a few days before Mannering's arrival, both to put everything in perfect order and to make the transference of Miss Bertram's residence from their family to his as easy and delicate as possible.

'It is not the lucre, it is not the lucre; but that I, that have ate of her father's loaf, and drank of his cup, for twenty years and more to think that I am going to leave her, and to leave her in distress and dolour! No, Miss Lucy, you need never think it!

'What is this for, Dominie? said Mac-Morlan. 'First to indemnify you of your charges in my behalf, worthy sir; and the balance for the use of Miss Lucy Bertram. 'But, Mr. Sampson, your labour in the office much more than recompenses me; I am your debtor, my good friend. 'Then be it all, said the Dominie, waving his hand, 'for Miss Lucy Bertram's behoof.
