But did onybody iver hear o' a reg'ment gaun' oot to the wars an' comin' back jist as it went? That's the question " "As Hamlet's ghost said when he was takin' a night-walk to cool his-self," interposed Simkin. "It wasna his ghost; it was his faither's ghost," cried Sutherland; "an' I'm no' sure that "
Such breakfast as he had, he took at the comfortless public-house where he had parted from Riderhood on the occasion of their night-walk. He took it, standing at the littered bar, and looked loweringly at a man who stood where Riderhood had stood that early morning. He outwalked the short day, and was on the towing-path by the river, somewhat footsore, when the night closed in.
The first thing I did, on my own account, when I came back, was to take a night-walk to Norwood, and, like the subject of a venerable riddle of my childhood, to go 'round and round the house, without ever touching the house', thinking about Dora. I believe the theme of this incomprehensible conundrum was the moon.
If you promise me, I know that he will return to me safely." I set out on my long night-walk, stumbling over rocks and boulders in the darkness. It was a beautiful night, the crisp atmosphere was laden with the fragrant exhalation of the nut pines and junipers and there was not a breath of air stirring.
"To think o' her bein' in it at this time o' day. You could see Muster Raeburn was a tellin' of her to go 'ome. But she's allus pampered them Hurds." The speaker was Ned Patton, old Patton's son, and Hurd's companion on many a profitable night-walk.
The heather was not yet springing, but Jean could see that gorse was on the bloom, which he considered a favourable omen: they stepped out bravely on the short springy turf. Tita's steps were slower than those of the young pair, who were deaf to her calls for delay. Never to his dying day did Jean forget that happy night-walk.
And though these Statutes were not then made so perfectly useful as they were designed, till Archbishop Laud's time who assisted in the forming and promoting them; yet our present Proctor made them as effectual as discretion and diligence could do: of which one example may seem worthy the noting; namely, that if in his night-walk he met with irregular Scholars absent from their Colleges at University hours, or disordered by drink, or in scandalous company, he did not use his power of punishing to an extremity; but did usually take their names, and a promise to appear before him unsent for next morning; and when they did, convinced them, with such obligingness, and reason added to it, that they parted from him with such resolutions, as the man after God's own heart was possessed with, when he said, "There is mercy with thee, and therefore thou shall be feared:" Psal. cxxx. 4.
I had ample leisure for reflection during that long night-walk, and found myself becoming a perfect Young Hervey Sturm what you will, in the way of meditation.
Bedient took him for a night-walk over the hills for this. "But Beth showed me very clearly where I wouldn't do at all," the big man said intensely. "And clearly, I saw it, too, raw and unfinished beside her, I was." "Did she ever show you that little picture of you she painted?" Bedient asked. "No. All she had of me were a few kodak prints "
Truly, Bradley Headstone had taken careful note of the honest man's dress in the course of that night-walk they had had together. He must have committed it to memory, and slowly got it by heart. It was exactly reproduced in the dress he now wore.
