There, your hand, Clerk Davie; we must make westward to-day, lest poor Duke Murdoch be forced to send to chase us. After that, for the Border and Patie. So brother and sister set forth on their wandering and truly it was a happy journey. The weather favoured them, and their hearts were light.
'God will guard her, I know, said Malcolm; 'and oh! my own dear lord, I need not ask you to be the brother to my poor sister you have been to me. At least all will be clear for her and Patie! 'I trust not yet, said James, smiling in encouragement. 'Thou wilt live, my faithful laddie.
Priors were not people to be kept waiting, and as it was reported that the Tutor of Glenuskie was still asleep, Lilias had to depart without taking leave of him. With Malcolm the last words were spoken while crossing the court. 'Fear not, Lily; my heart will only weary till the Church owns me, and Patie has you.
'There is no English, French, or Scot where he is gone! cried Malcolm. 'No Babel! O Patie, I have been far fallen! I have done you in heart a grievous wrong! but if I have turned back in time, it is his doing that lies there. 'His! what, Harry of Lancaster's? demanded the bewildered Patrick. 'What had he to do with you? 'He has been my only true friend here! cried Malcolm.
'Dear Malcolm' and her whisper fell sweetly on his ear 'it will be bonnie tidings for Patie that thou didst loose me all thyself. The false tyrant, to fall on us the very hour Patie was on the salt sea. But they were riding so fast that there was scant possibility for words; and, besides, Sir James kept too close to them for private whispers.
'Stay, Patrick, he said, rising, though forced to hold by his chair; 'that must be my part. 'You why, the laddie is white as a sheet! He well-nigh swooned at the tidings. You seek her, forsooth! and Patrick laughed bitterly. 'Yes, Patie, said Malcolm, 'for this I am strong. It is my duty and not yours, and God will strengthen me for it.
Aweel, they trailed up Morris to their bar, as they ca't, to see what he could say to the job; but the folk that were again him, gae him sic an awfu' throughgaun about his rinnin' awa, and about a' the ill he had ever dune or said for a' the forepart o' his life, that Patie says he looked mair like ane dead than living; and they cou'dna get a word o' sense out o' him, for downright fright at their growling and routing.
There, one ceases to be a prey and a laughing-stock; there, one sees no more bloodshed and spulzie; there, one need not be forced to treachery or violence. Oh, Uncle! my very soul is sick for Coldingham. How many years will it be ere I can myself bestow my sister on Patie, and hide my head in peace!
Sir Patie, fetch Geordie, and tell him, an' he loves me, to wed me on the spot, and bear me awa' to bonnie Scotland. Would that I had never been beguiled into quitting it. 'Geordie Douglas! You were all for flouting him a while ago, said Eleanor, puzzled. 'Dinna be sae daft like, Elleen, that was but sport, and and a maid may not hold herself too cheap!
'What means this, sirs? he exclaimed, in a tone of authority, waving back his own men; and his dignified air, as well as the banner with which Andrew followed him, evidently took effect on the foresters, who perhaps had not believed the young men. 'Sir Patie, my hawk! entreated Jean. 'She did but pounce on yon unco ugsome bird, and these bloodthirsty grasping loons would have wrung her neck.
