"And I was thinkin, this vera meenute," returned the soutar, "sic a bonny day as it was for the Lord to gang aboot amang his ain fowk. I was thinkin maybe he was come upon Maggie, and was walkin wi' her up the hill to Stanecross nearer til her, maybe, nor she could hear or see or think!" "Ye're a deal taen up wi' vain imaiginins, MacLear!" rejoined the minister, tartly.
James had been the cowering slave of a false reputation; but his illness and the assaults of his conscience had roused him, set repentance before him, brought confession within sight, and purity within reach of prayer. "I maun gang til her," he cried, "the meenute I'm able to be up! Whaur is she, mother?" "Upo nae accoont see her, Jamie!
Men and women gave place to her, and she went surging into the midst of the assembly. "Whaur's that lass o' mine?" she cried, looking about her in aggravated wrath at failing to pounce right upon her.

"Dinna ye trible yersel' aboot him," said the woman. "He kens the toon as weel's ony rottan kens the drains o' 't. But whaur div ye pit up?" she added, "for it's time dacent fowk was gauin' to their beds."

Start the verra meenute that ye get this letter; yir father bids ye come, and I'm writing this in place o' yir mother. Marget went out to tend the flowers while Lachlan read the letter, and when he gave it back the address was written in his own hand.
