'Did you speak to him, or ask him if he knew anything about her? 'No' me; it's nane o' my business to meddle; but maybe I wad ask him if I had a chance, said Teen, with a peculiar pressure of the lips. 'Who is he, Teen? Do you know his name? 'Ay, fine that; but it wad dae nae guid to say, replied Teen guardedly. 'I dinna think he had onything to dae wi' her gaun away, onyway.
'If the lassie I'm lodgin' wi' is in, Teen, ye can tell her I'm no' comin' back. I'm very gled to get quit o' her, onyway, she said, as Teen buttoned on her shabby black jacket. 'What's her name? Had ye better no' write a line, for fear she'll no' gie me the things? 'Oh, she'll gie ye them withoot ony bother; they wadna bring her abune ten shillin's, onyhoo.
Abune Hangin' Shaw, in the bield o' the Black Hill, there's a bit enclosed grund wi' an iron yert; and it seems, in the auld days, that was the kirkyaird o' Ba'weary, and consecrated by the papists before the blessed licht shone upon the kingdom. It was a great howff, o' Mr. Soulis's onyway; there he would sit an' consider his sermons' and inded it's a bieldy bit.
'I'll tell ye what it means, onyway, said Lance-corporal Jake; 'it means that we'll be gettin' a move on afore we're mony days aulder. Macgregor did not enter into any of the discussions which followed. Having hurriedly made himself as smart as possible, he took car for Glasgow, and there caught the ten o'clock train for Aberdeen.
There was nae doubt, onyway, but that Mr. Soulis had been ower-lang at the college. He was careful and troubled for mony things besides the ae thing needful. He had a feck o' books wi' him mair than had ever been seen before in a' that presbytery; and a sair wark the carrier had wi' them, for they were a' like to have smoored in the Deil's Hag between this and Kilmackerlie.
Did ye think I had? 'Yes. We that is, some o's thocht Walter an' me, onyway that ye had gane to the theatre in London to be an actress. It was gey shabby, I thocht, to gang the way ye did, withoot sayin' a cheep to me, efter a' the plans we had made, said Teen, with equal candour.
'Na! na! lad, but juist the wee drap whusky. It's nae that guid onyway, and it's a terrible price. Man, gin ye gang tae Henderson's in Buchanan Street, in Gleska, ye ken, ye'll get mair for three-an'-saxpence than ye wull at Slavin's for five dollars. An' it'll no' pit ye mad like yon stuff, but it gangs doon smooth an' saft-like.
'Yes, answered Teen, without a moment's hesitation 'Learnin' to be an actress, as sure as I sit here. 'Somehow I don't think it. I have an odd feeling at times about her, as if she were not so far away from us as we imagine. 'She's no' in Glesca, onyway. She couldna be in Glesca withoot me kennin', replied Teen confidently.
Sorrow wan o' me iver gits to slape, but I'm turned up immadiately to go an' poke away at that rock faix, it's well named the Bell Rock, for it makes me like to bellow me lungs out wid vexation." "That pun is below contempt," said Joe Dumsby, who came up at the moment. "That's yer sort, laddies; ye're guid at ringing the changes on that head onyway," cried Watt.
It's what wad I no' dae, cried Liz. 'I'm no' the kind to sterve. 'Ye wasna very weel aff when we got ye, Teen could not refrain from saying. 'Oh, ye needna cast up what ye did. I never asked you, onyway. Ye ken you and Wat hauled me awa' wi' you against my wull, said Liz rather angrily, being in a mood to cavil at trifles.
