Yet when I came to think of it I could not recall any Bath celebrity or great person associated with Bath except Beau Nash, who was not perhaps a very great person. Probably Carlyle would have described him as a "meeserable creature." Leaving my seat I began to examine the inscriptions, and found that they had not been placed there in memory of men belonging to Bath or even Somerset.
When his wife reasoned that God knew he had gone in ignorance, trusting his friend, he cried, "What 's that to him wha judges richteous judgment? What's a' oor puir meeserable excuzes i' the een 'at can see throu' the wa's o' the hert! Ignorance is no innocence." Thus he lied for God! pleading his cause on the principles of hell.
"Man, Chairlie, if a' hed ma wull wi' thae wawfies, I wud ship them aff tae a desert island, wi' ae sack o' seed potatoes and anither o' seed corn, and let them work or dee. A' ken yir wi' me there, for ye aye hed an independent spirit, and wesna feared tae bend yir back. "Noo, if a' cam across ane o' thae meeserable objects in Drumtochty, div ye ken the advice I wud gie him?
"Where is your own meeserable conscience, Traquair?" "My dear," cried the little man, "it is storming my reason." "There," said she, "I told you so. And now we are both of one mind, you shall present these tidings to McTavish together with my compliments." "First," said Traquair cautiously, "I'll bide a bit on the thought."
He aye had the bit dog with him, and I was the last man to see the auld body before he went awa' to his meeserable death in a Cowgate wynd. Bobby came to me, near starved, to be fed, two days after his master's burial. I was tak'n by the wee Highlander's leal spirit." And that was all the landlord would say. He had no mind to wear his heart upon his sleeve for this idle crowd to gape at.
"Och, murther! is the world burning up?" cried the cook. "Be still, ye howlin' fool," said the cool and travelled maid. "It's only von big fire!" "Go to your mistress and help her, quick!" cried Dennis. "Go to my meestress! I go to de street and save my life." "Oh, Janette!" cried Christine. "Come and help me!" "I am meeserable zat I cannot.
"Weel, that's a vertue. The Saviour himsel' garred them gaither up the fragments." "Nae doobt. But I'm feared Bruce wad hae coontit the waste by hoo mony o' the baskets gaed by his door. I'm surprised at ye, Mr Crann, tryin' to defen' sic a meeserable crater, jist 'cause he gangs to your kirk." "Weel, he is a meeserable crater, and I canna bide him.
Now you hae made me dissatisfied wi' my guiding o' Davie, and meeserable anent my bank account, ye may gang to your bed; you'll doobtless sleep weel on the thought." However, sometimes things are not so ill as they look. The new firm obtained favor, and even old, cautious men began to do a little business with it.
Will he daur till imaigine 'at he wad be sittin' there, an' me haudin' him company, gien I believed him cawpable o' turnin' oot sic a meeserable, contemptible wratch! The Lord come atween me an' my wrath!" "I beg yer pardon, mem. A body canna aye put things thegither afore he speyks. I 'm richt sair obleeged till ye for takin' my pairt." "I tak naebody's pairt but my ain, laddie.
"Will you take a lift, Mr. McTavish?" he invited dismally. "Oh, no," said The McTavish, "I won't trouble you, thanks." Traquair's meeserable conscience got the better of him all at once. And with that his cheerfulness returned. "Get in," he said. "You cannot help troubling me, Mr. McTavish. I've a word for you, sir." McTavish, wondering, climbed into the car.
