Even temperance hotels were rather expensive when you hadn't much money. Would it be very rash and impulsive to ask him to stay at The Rigs? "Are you comfortable at the Temperance?" she asked. "Because if you don't much care for hotels we would love to put you up here. Mhor is apt to be noisy, but I'm sure he would try to be quiet when he knew that you needed a rest."
And David by the way, where is David?" "Out," said Jock, "getting something at the stationer's. Let me tell him when he comes in." "Then I'll tell Mrs. M'Cosh," cried Mhor, and, followed by Peter, he rushed from the room. The colour was beginning to come back to Jean's face, and the stunned look to go out of her eyes. "Why in the world has he left it to me?" she asked Pamela.
There's no fun or satisfaction got from giving big sums to hospitals and things that's all right for when you're dead. I want to make happiness while I'm alive. I don't think a million pounds would be too much for all I want to do." "Aw, Jean," said Mhor, "if you had a million pounds would you buy me a bicycle?"
He mentions that M'Gregor of Glenstrae and some of his people had surrendered themselves to one of the Earls of Argyle, upon the express condition that they should be conveyed safe into England. The Maccallum Mhor of the day kept the word of promise, but it was only to the ear.
'The Mhor, as they call him, is their great amusement and delight. He is quite absurdly good-looking, with great grave green eyes and a head most wonderfully set on his shoulders. He has a small income of his own, which Jean keeps religiously apart so that he may be able to go to a good school when he is old enough.
The lambs were very young, for spring comes slowly up that way, and one tottering little fellow was found by Mhor, and carried rapturously to Jean. "Take it; it's just born," he said. "Jock, hold Peter tight in case he bites them." "Did you ever see anything quite so new?" Jean said as she stroked the little head, "and yet so independent? Sheep are far before mortals.
Through the wall she could hear Mhor, who always woke early, busy at some game possibly wigwams with the blankets and sheets already the chamber-maid had complained of finding the sheets knotted round the bed-posts. He was singing a song to himself as he played. Jean could hear his voice crooning. The sound filled her with an immense tenderness.
His mental qualities seem to have been no less adapted to the circumstances in which he was placed. Though the descendant of the blood-thirsty Ciar Mhor, he inherited none of his ancestor's ferocity. On the contrary, Rob Roy avoided every appearance of cruelty, and it is not averred that he was ever the means of unnecessary bloodshed, or the actor in any deed which could lead the way to it.
"You speak like the Saxon priest already," replied his mother; "will you not better stay, and ask a kirk from Macallum Mhor, that you may preach forgiveness to the race of Dermid?" "Yesterday was yesterday," answered Hamish, "and to-day is to-day.
I must always stick to them at least until they don't need me any longer." "But Jean, beloved, you don't suppose I want to take you away from them? There's room for them all.... I can see you at Mintern Abbas, Jean, and there's a river there, and the hills aren't far distant you won't find it unhomelike the only thing that is lacking is a railway for the Mhor." "Please don't," said Jean.
