"The creature will prove fause-hearted, after a'," said the Bailie, who by this time had planted himself close behind me; "it's lucky I didna pit mysell to expenses anent him." "And now, my friend," said the Captain, "let us understand each other. You have confessed yourself a spy, and should string up to the next tree But come, if you will do me one good turn, I will do you another.
"I would sooner lodge by mysell in the deepest of the Tarras-flow," again whispered Hobbie. "Pass on your way," rejoined the figure, the harsh tones of his voice still more exalted by passion. "I want not your guidance I want not your lodging it is five years since my head was under a human roof, and I trust it was for the last time." "He is mad," said Earnscliff.
And I wad say for certain, that I am gaun to quit at Cannlemas, only I was just as positive on it twenty years syne, and I find mysell still turning up the mouls here, for a' that. Forbye that, to tell your honour the evendown truth, there's nae better place ever offered to Andrew.
"And ye didna think it was a spiritual creature, then?" asked Hobbie at his companion. "Who, I? No, surely." "Weel, I am partly of the mind mysell that it may be a live thing and yet I dinna ken, I wadna wish to see ony thing look liker a bogle." "At any rate," said Earnscliff, "I will ride over to-morrow and see what has become of the unhappy being."
Not a whisper has been heard so far about this village for the miners there's a rumour, to be sure, about a wheen houses going up, but nothing near the reality. And there's not a soul, either, that kens there's a big contract for carting to be had 'ceptna Goudie and mysell. But or a month's by they'll be advertising for estimates for a twelvemonth's carrying.
"Send my compliments Colonel Mannering's compliments to him, and I would be glad he would do me the pleasure of supping with me, and bring these papers with him and I beg, good madam, you will say nothing of this to any one else." Mac-Morlan mysell he's at hame e'en now-it's hardly a step." "Do so, my good landlady, and many thanks and bid my servant step here with my portfolio in the meantime."
Lord help ye, I was the keeper's assistant down at the Isle mysell, and I'll uphaud it the biggest man in Scotland shouldna take a gun frae me or I had weized the slugs through him, though I'm but sic a little feckless body, fit for naething but the outside o' a saddle and the fore-end o' a poschay; na, na, nae living man wad venture on that.
'Now this new proprietor, said he to Edward, 'has shown mair gusto, as the Italians call it, in the short time he has had this domain, than that hound Malcolm, though I bred him here mysell, has acquired vita adhuc durante. And now I talk of hounds, is not yon Ban and Buscar who come scouping up the avenue with Davie Gellatley?
When I say wood and water, I mean the loch and the land; and I fancy Donald would be put till 't if the Laird were to look for him wi' threescore men in the wood of Kailychat yonder; and if our boats, with a score or twa mair, were to come down the loch to Uaimh an Ri, headed by mysell, or ony other pretty man.
As they rode past the ruined cottages at Derncleugh, Dinmont said, 'I'm sure when ye come to your ain, Captain, ye'll no forget to bigg a bit cot-house there? Deil be in me but I wad do't mysell, an it werena in better hands. I wadna like to live in't, though, after what she said. Od, I wad put in auld Elspeth, the bedral's widow; the like o' them's used wi' graves and ghaists and thae things.
