Jean told him about David going to Oxford, and about Great-aunt Alison who had "come out at the Disruption" about her father's life in India, and about her mother, and he became every minute more human and interested. He even made one or two small jokes which were received with great applause by Jock and Mhor, who were grateful to anyone who tried, however feebly, to be funny.

Lockhart, on the part of the prisoner; but James Mhor did not wait the event of the Court's decision. He had been committed to the Castle of Edinburgh on some reports that an escape would be attempted. Yet he contrived to achieve his liberty even from that fortress. His daughter had the address to enter the prison, disguised as a cobbler, bringing home work, as she pretended.

O spread Thy covering wings around Till all our wanderings cease, And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace." Out in the sunshine, among the blossoms, Jean stood with her husband and was kissed and blessed. "Jean, Lady Bidborough," said Pamela. "Gosh, Maggie!" said Jock, "I quite forgot Jean would be Lady Bidborough. What a joke!" "She doesn't look any different," Mhor complained.

Nobody sits in your place at the table, and it gives us such a horrid bereaved feeling when we look at it. Mhor was waiting at the gate for the post yesterday and brought your letter in in triumph. He was particularly interested in hearing about your scout, and has added his name to the list he prays for. You will be glad to hear that he has got over his prejudice against going to heaven.

'Not very likely, perhaps, but if they do come I don't choose to have them running all about. But I agree with the White Knight, it's as well to be provided for everything, so we'll keep the pits in case of bears." "They had pits in the Bible," said Mhor dreamily, as he screwed and unscrewed his steering-wheel, which was also the piano stool, "for Joseph was put in one."

"A silly love play, but there's a fine scene at the end where they all get killed. If you're sleeping, Mhor, I'll wake you up for that." "I would like to stay with you," Jean said to Mrs. Macdonald. "Never in the world. Off you go to your play, and John and I will go early to bed and be fresh for to-morrow. When is the wedding?" "At twelve o'clock in the church at Little St.

When Jock and Mhor had gone to bed, the brother and sister sat over the fire talking, and David forgot all his new importance and ceased to "buck," and told Jean all his little devices to save money, and how he had managed just to scrape along. "If only everyone else were poor as well," said Jean, "then it wouldn't matter."

David spent most of his days at the depôt that held the car, there being no garage at The Rigs, and Jock and Mhor worshipped with him. A chauffeur had been engaged, one Stark, a Priorsford youth, a steady young man and an excellent driver. He had never been farther than Edinburgh. The 20th came at last. Jock and Mhor were up at an unearthly hour, parading the house, banging at Mrs.

Jean told Pamela of Jock's prayer as they went together to fetch Mhor from school. "But Mhor is a much greater responsibility than Jock. You know where you are with Jock: underneath is a bedrock of pure goodness.

Mhor asked if there were any railways near Mintern Abbas, and was rather cast down when told that the nearest railway station was seven miles distant. It amazed him that anyone should, of choice, live away from railways.
