In a moment afterwards the plaided form was gone Hamish did not exactly say vanished, because there were rocks and stunted trees enough to have concealed him; but it was his own opinion that he had seen the spirit of MacTavish Mhor, warning him to commence his instant journey to Dunbarton, without waiting till morning, or again visiting his mother's hut.
"I see you have given the raider some biscuits," Pamela said. "He's an ill laddie." Bella Bathgate looked at the Mhor standing obediently on the bit of carpet, munching his biscuit, and her face softened. "He has neither father nor mother, puir lamb, but I must say Miss Jean never lets him ken the want o' them." "Miss Jean?" "He bides at The Rigs wi' the Jardines juist next door here.
"Call it not thraldom, mother; it is the service of an honourable soldier the only service which is now open to the son of MacTavish Mhor." "Yet say what is the penalty if thou shouldst not return?" replied Elspat.
It is stated to be forwarded by MacGregor Drummond of Bohaldie, whom, as before mentioned, James Mhor acknowledged as his chief. The effect which this petition produced does not appear. Some temporary relief was perhaps obtained. But, soon after, this daring adventurer was engaged in a very dark intrigue against an exile of his own country, and placed pretty nearly in his own circumstances.
To Mhor's joy the road now ran for a bit by the side of the railway line where thundered great express trains such as there never were in Priorsford. They were spinning along the fine level road, making up for lost time, when a sharp report startled them and made Mhor, who was watching a train, lose his balance and fall forward on to Peter, who was taking a sleep on the rug at their feet.
He certainly doesn't make for peace in the school, but he keeps 'a body frae languor. I like a naughty boy myself much better than a good one. He's the 'more natural beast of the twain." Outside, with the freed Mhor capering before them, Pamela was enthusiastic over the little school and its mistresses.
It was quite as it should be, but life in spite of April and a motor-car was, what Mhor called a minister's life, "a dullsome job." That year spring came, not reluctantly, as it often does in the uplands, but generously, lavishly, scattering buds and leaves and flowers and lambs, and putting a spirit of youth into everything. The days were as warm as June, and fresh as only April days can be.
You two would have had some great fights if you had lived a few hundred years ago." "Yes," said Mhor. "I'd have killed a great many Scots but not Jock." "Ho," said Jock, "a great many Scots would have killed you first." "Well, it's all past," said Jean; "and England and Scotland are one and fight together now. This is Carlisle. Not much romance about it now, is there?
Peter looked wistfully up at him and hunched himself against the scratched bare knees now blue with cold. "When the sun touches the top of West Law," said Jean, pointing to a distant blue peak, "it has set. See there.... Now run in, sonny, and tell Mrs. M'Cosh to let you have some currant-loaf for tea. Pamela and I are going to tea at Hopetoun." "Aw," said Mhor, "I hate when you go out to tea.
"There's a thing I want to ask you, anyway," said Mhor. "Yes, I'm going to bed, Jean. Whether do you think Quentin Durward or Charlie Chaplin would be the better man in a fight?" Lord Bidborough gave the matter some earnest thought, and decided on Quentin Durward. "I told you that," said. Jock to Mhor. "Now, perhaps, you'll believe me." "I don't know," said Mhor, still doubtful.
