Why, your house has not got a lum! Did you have breakfast yet? Poor fellow, no wonder your cheeks are thin. 'Never mind, Mirren, I have planned a new house and with your help it will soon be built. 'That it will, Archie; it is to help you I have come. Sitting side by side on a pile of boards, Mirren told how she had come.
"'Mirren, said I, and I took my arm away, 'there's just nothing for it but you should put your arm round me, for I can see you will only be tholing mine for the sake o' my skin. "'There will be many a blue sea below your feet before Mirren Stuart will be doing that, said she, and I let her go a step in front of me, maybe to see the fine swing o' her, and her free mountain stride.
"Why will ye be naming that man to me?" she cried, in a burst of passion. "Is it not bad enough to be doing that I let him tell me their plans, and him not knowing where I carry them." "I might have kent the breed o' ye wouldna be content wi' an exciseman, Mirren.
"He would be settling that," said the sailor; "but there were stories o' bonny bright eyes in Jamaica and the towns there-away ay there is dancing and devilry in these bonny places"; and McKinnon's son sighed in a way that would have brought no pleasure to the ears of his mother, Mirren Stuart, that used to ride the Uist pony in her young days.
He took away over the hill for his mother's house then, as he said, but I'm thinking maybe Mirren Stuart would have another way of it, and at his going I went to that grim man, the Laird. He was with his back to a red fire of peats, and looked dourly at me. "What new devilry is this?" says he, and bit his lip.
"By God, if I could only get that Ronny McKinnon under my bonny blue hanger," said Gilchrist, the ganger that had the soft side for Mirren Stuart. "One good prog wid pay for this night's daftness," growled his leader, and again came Gilchrist's voice "Was I tae ken McKinnon was ootside Finlay Stuart's and a dozen o' ye in the kitchen."
When June came Mirren expected them each day and made every preparation for their reception. The spot in the bush where the sled-road ended and by which they must come, she watched with unflagging eagerness, but day after day passed and July came without their appearance.
On Archie's letter reaching his mother with three pounds enclosed she saw the possibility of Mirren going to Canada. 'The passage money is four pounds, mother, and there is the buying of what cannot be done without. We will have to wait for another remittance. 'Listen, and I will tell you what I never even let on to your father.
Aweel, Hamish and me will just be having a sail this night, storm or no', and the Gull can coorie into mony's the neuk among the rocks; but whit bates me is how they fun' oot the cove." "It would just be Dol Bob that told," whispered Mirren. "The dirty slink," cried Dan.
"Gif me a dram, Mirren; yes" and that set us to the laughing, for the young wife was setting the drink before us and not making signs of giving the old one any.
