The Earl has too many agents who are not as true as himself. I would rather not delay my marriage on that account. What ails you at Mr Sutherland?" "Well, Taniel, I hev nothing to say against Muster Sutherland. He iss a ferry goot man I will not be denyin' that, but he iss not an ordained munister." "What of that?" retorted Dan.
"Why, then," answered the young man with a laugh, "we shall be no worse off than other people, who have to make the best of things as they find them." "No doubt no doubt that iss the true an' pheelosophical way to look at the matter. But don't you think, Taniel, that it would be as well to putt off till our munister arrives?
"Quite right, my boy, quite right; though I must say I would like to wait till a real munister comes out; for although Mr Sutherland iss a fery goot man, an' an elder too, he iss not chust exactly a munister, you know, as I have said before. But have it your own way, Tan. If my little lass is willin', old Tuncan McKay won't stand in your way."
I would not be havin' my daughter marrit without a munister if I can help it. An' you know his Lordship has promised more than wance to send us wan. He will not be long o' coming now." "Yes, a minister has been promised again an' again," returned Dan, somewhat bitterly, "an' I suppose he will go on promising again and over again, but I have not much faith in these promises.
"Of course, it would have been pleesanter if he had been a regular munister, whatever; but, as you say, my boy, `what of that? So, as things look a little more peaceable than they wass though not ferry much I will be "
Tuncan also iss a little better just now, so what say you to have the weddin' the month after next? Mr Sutherland will be back from the Whitehorse Plains by then, an' he can tie the knot tight enough whatever. Anyway, it iss clear that if we wait for a munister o' the Auld Kirk, we will hev to wait till doomsday. What say you, Taniel?"
