They'll gie me quarters at Monkbarns readily eneugh, and I'll e'en hirple awa there wi' the wean, for it will knock its hams out, puir thing, if there's no somebody to guide the pony. Sae ye hae a letter, hinney? will ye let me see't?" "I'm no gaun to let naebody see the letter," sobbed the boy, "till I gie't to Mr. Lovel, for I am a faithfu' servant o' the office if it werena for the powny."
You ken you are mine, an' naebody else has a richt to you. I love you, Mysie! Oh, can you no' see, lassie, that it wad be a' richt if you'd do as I want you?" "No, no, Rob. Dinna say that. It wadna be richt at a', an' I'd be doin' anither wrang thing if I did." "But you said jist the noo, that you sometimes thocht you wadna marry onybody else?" "Yes, I ken I said that," she replied.
The remark was not lost upon the boy, whose expression immediately became still more idiotic if possible. "Tell me," said Glendinning, grasping Peter savagely by one ear, "where is your master?" "I dinna ken, sir." "Is there nobody in the house but you?" "Naebody but me," said Peter, "an' you," he added, looking vacantly round on the soldiers.
Ye've seen the wife and the bairn, the wee ane wi' the fair curly pow. Ye ken the auld hoose. It'll be mony a lang day afore I see them again, if iver I come back ava. There's naebody left to care for them. They'll be starvin' soon, lad. Wull ye wull ye look doon?" Poor Davy Spink stopped here, and covered his face with his big sunburnt hands. A sudden gush of sympathy filled Ruby's heart.
"Look things in the face! He'll be papered anyway; Mungo Campbell'll be sure to paper him; what matters if I paper him too? And then, Alan, I am a man that has a family." And then, after a little pause on both sides: "And, Alan, it'll be a jury of Campbells," said he. "There's one thing," said Alan musingly, "that naebody kens his name." "Nor yet they shallna, Alan!
One word he often murmured PEACE. Two or three times there came as it were a check in the drift seaward, and he spoke plainly. This is very near what he said on one of these occasions: "Peace! peace! Cosmo, my son, ye dinna ken hoo strong it can be! Naebody can ken what it's like till it comes. I hae been troubled a' my life, an' noo the verra peace is 'maist ower muckle for me!
"And syne no to haud my face til't! Isy, I hae been a scoonrel til ye! I'm that disgustit at mysel 'at I canna luik ye i' the face!" "Ye didna ken whaur I was! I ran awa that naebody micht ken." "What rizzon was there for onybody to ken? I'm sure ye never tellt!" Isy went to the door and called Maggie. James stared after her, bewildered.
But the young, the blooming, and the bonny are aye sair beset by temptations; and, heard ye never, Mrs Webster, o' Marion's meetings at the Three Sisters, sometimes, they say, at the dead hour, wi' some lover that naebody ever kenned." "Ay, ay, dame," said Widow Lindsay; "that's just his way. He comes in the shape o' a young lover, and beguiles the hearts o' young maidens.
"Fact, upon my honour and credit," said Ratcliffe, gravely. "He keepit out o' our little bits of affairs, and that's mair than Wilson did; I hae dune business wi' Wilson afore now. But the lad will come on in time; there's nae fear o' him; naebody will live the life he has led, but what he'll come to sooner or later." "Who or what is he, Ratcliffe? you know, I suppose?" said Sharpitlaw.
"Weel, I'll tell ye a bit mair o' 't nor ye'll get there. The Levite an' the Pharisee naebody ever said yer lordship was like aither o' them " "No, thank God! nobody could." " they gaed by o' the ither side, an' loot him lie. But there was ane cam up, an' tuik 'im by the legs,'cause he lay upo' his lan', an'wad hae pu'dhim aff.
