If teaching only were requisite, it would be smooth and easy; but it is the living in other people's houses the estrangement from one's real character the adoption of a cold, rigid, apathetic exterior, that is painful . . .

Egerton's penetration, the young man's emotion might be honest pride and pained and generous feeling, or it might be something else.

"That would I," said Allan, now bending down and taking hold of the lad in his strong arms and carrying him to the boat. "'Tis a long pull round to Rothesay Bay," said Aasta, "and it may be that you will yet have trouble with your charge. Let me go with you." Allan, standing knee deep in the water, held out his hand and helped her into the boat.
