I would like her lassiehood to be bright and free frae cares, as if there had never been sic a woman as me. But laddie, oh, my laddie, dinna you forget me; you and me had him to thole thegither, dinna you forget me! Watch ower your little sister by day and hap her by night, and when the time comes that a man wants her if he be magerful, tell her my story at once.
She knew she ran a risk of discovery, yet it was probable that Tommy would only hear her referred to in Thrums Street by her maiden name, which he had never heard from her, and as for her husband he had been Magerful Tam to everyone. The risk was great, but the pleasure Unsuspicious Tommy soon had news of another letter from Jean Myles, which had sent Esther Auld to bed again.
It began with the reappearance in Redlintie of Magerful Tarn, who had come to torment his father into giving him more money, but, finding he had come too late, did not harass the sisters. This is perhaps the best thing that can be told of him, and, as if he knew this, he had often told it himself to Jean Myles, without however telling her what followed.
"His name was Magerful Tam," he said at length. "Ay," said his mother, knitting her teeth, "that was his name." "I dinna mind any more," Tommy concluded. "Yes, I mind they aye called Aaron Latta 'Poor Aaron Latta." "Did they? I warrant, though, there wasna one as said 'Poor Jean Myles'?"
And with each radiant roar higher faster it dashed, the little Thunder Bird, with never a puff of smoke to dim the spectacle the transplendency of its flight. "Michty! Michty!... Magerful!" There was just the one skirl from Andrew, to lend it music on its upward way; he had not thought that he came to America to witness a thing like this. "Magerful", indeed! Magical, indeed!
His father was gauger there, that's exciseman, a Mr. Weel, Magerful Tam, as he was called through being so masterful, cast up at Redlintie frae none kent where, gey desperate for siller, but wi' a black coat on his back, and he said that all he wanted was to be owned as the gauger's son. Mr. Cray said there was no proof that he was his son, and syne the queer sport began.
I was without her while she was growing frae lassie to woman, the years when maybe she could hae made o' me what she willed. Magerful Tam took the mother frae me, and he lived again in you to tak' the dochter." "You really think me masterful me!" Tommy said, smiling. "I suppose you never were!" Aaron replied ironically.
But presently she was calm again and she said: "What I've been telling you, you can understand little o' the now, but some of it will come back to you when you're a grown man, and if you're magerful and have some lassie in your grip, maybe for the memory of her that bore you, you'll let the poor thing awa'."
