From that date it declined; but a second and even brighter maximum occurred in April, 1843, when Maclear, then director of the Cape Observatory, saw it blaze out with a splendour approaching that of Sirius. Its waxings and wanings were marked by curious "trepidations" of brightness extremely perplexing to theory.
The young woman can hardly be a relative, or I should surely have heard of her existence! The suddenness of the occurrence, of which I heard only from my shoemaker, MacLear, must have wrought disastrously upon your nerves! Come, come, dear mother! you must indeed compose yourself! It is quite unworthy of you, to yield to such a paroxysm of unnatural and uncalled-for grief!
"I think ye hae something e'en noo upo yer min' 'at ye would like to say to them but we'll see hoo ye feel aboot it efter I hae said a word to them first!" "When you have said what you want to say, Mr. MacLear, give me a look; and if I have anything to say, I will respond to your sign. Then you can introduce me, saying what you will. Only dinna spare me; use me after your judgment."
He thought that the disease was in the country before Arabs came. Another new disease acquired from them was the small-pox. 26th September, 1866. An Arab passed us yesterday, his slaves going by another route across the base of Cape Maclear.
MacLear; that's a fine way to think of the Sabbath!" rejoined the minister, "and the very way I am in the habit of thinking of it myself! I'm greatly obliged to you for bringing home my boots; but indeed I could have managed very well without them!" "Ay, sir, maybe; I dinna doobt ye hae pairs and pairs o' beets; but ye see I couldna dee wi'oot them, for I had promised."
"And I would say to you, sir, 'No gien he bena willin," answered Isy, and ran from the room. "Weel, what think ye o' the lass by this time, Mr. Bletherwick?" said the soutar, with a flash in his eye. "I think jist what I thoucht afore," answered Peter: "she's ane amo' a million!" "I'm no that sure aboot the proportion!" returned MacLear.
On one occasion the parson took upon him to remonstrate with what seemed to him the audacity of his parishioner: "Don't you think you are just going a little too far there, Mr. MacLear?" he said. "Ye mean ower far intil the dark, Mr. Blatherwick?" "Yes, that is what I mean. You speculate too boldly."
At an hour that caused the soutar anxiety as to whether the housekeeper might not have retired for the night, he rang the bell of the manse-door; which in truth did bring the minister himself from his study, to confront MacLear on the other side of the threshold, with the new boots in his hand.
Some of the burying-grounds are very well arranged, and well cared for; this was noticed at Chitanda, and more particularly at a village on the southern shore of the fine harbour at Cape Maclear. Wide and neat paths were made in the burying-ground on its eastern and southern sides.
Gien ye could, ye wouldna be sae comfortable as ye seem!" "I cannot think, Mr. MacLear, why you should be rude to me!" "Gien ye saw the hoose on fire aboot a man deid asleep, maybe ye micht be in ower great a hurry to be polite til 'im!" remarked the soutar. "Dare you suggest, sir, that I have been drinking?" cried the parson.
