And now from coppice and hedgerow, near and far, was stir and flutter, a whistling and a piping that rose ever louder and swelled to a trilling ecstasy of gladness. "Hark to 'em O pal, hark to 'em!" quoth Godby, lifting head to watch a lark that soared aloft. "Here's music, Martin, here's cure for the megrims, hope for the downcast and promise o' joys to come. O hark to 'em!"
When my liver gets to tormenting me so I have the megrims like a girl, it's time to do something." The boy came back to say that Old Tim had stopped playing "the jig" before he reached him, and was lying sobbing on the stone. Moira was as approachable as a barn swallow, swooping into the house for a mouthful of food and off again to the sky apparently.
And was she to share that fate? The generous young soul seemed to spring forward with the thought that, come what might, it would be hallowed and sweetened with such as he! Yet withal there was a sense of longing to protect and shield him. As usual, she had soon quite recovered, but Jean pronounced it 'one of Elleen's megrims as if she were a Hielander to have second sight.
Now he was already old in years, but very young in wit, malapert and arrogant and presumptuous in the extreme, with manners and fashions full of conceit and ill grace, and withal so froward and ill-conditioned that there was none who wished him well; and if any had scant regard for him, it was the lady in question, who not only wished him no whit of good, but hated him worse than the megrims; wherefore, like a discreet woman as she was, she answered him, 'Sir, that you love me should be mighty pleasing to me, who am bound to love you and will gladly do so; but between your love and mine nothing unseemly should ever befall.
'Well, sister, he said, as he went, through the motions of kissing her hand, and she embraced her father; 'so you don't know how to deal with megrims and transports? 'Father, said Diane, not vouchsafing any attention, 'unless you can send her some assurance of his life, I will not answer for the consequences. Narcisse laughed: 'Take her this dog, with my compliments.
And he, Big Jim Torrance, had made the transcontinental possible where others had failed. It irritated him that his audience was so small. Tressa's confidence was no new thing; she had always believed in him no more now than before. Conrad still clung to his megrims phantom fears that had all but faded from Torrance's mind.
She was a very strong woman herself, and except for a pain in the side which had troubled her of late, she had never known a day of megrims. She listened chafing to the neighbours' advice and every one of them had their nostrum and heeded none of them. She had an idea herself that the girl's sickness was imaginary and could be thrown off if she willed it.
The surly wench, out of all patience with his megrims, as she called them, gave him a blow with a log upon the parts affected; which so enraged him, that he instantly rose up, and from that moment recovered the use of his legs. Was reason concerned any more here; or was it not rather one blind impulse acting against another?
There's the very place I'm going to myself. We'll carry up the needle-gun; it's the nicest thing to play with. Come, let's hurry up stairs the back way, little sister, for they'll be out from dinner, and see us." Dotty needed no second hint. In half an hour she was so far recovered from the megrims as to be hungry; when Prudy secretly begged some pudding for her of the willing Angeline.
Bring an armful of fresh wood; some that isn't phosphorescent, if you prefer. That'll wake you up and drive the megrims out of your mind." "'Tis neither of them things. 'Tis a warning.
