But that would be a small wrong in comparison how can you shame Maggie by such a question of me? Since we parted in Pittenloch I have neither seen nor heard from her. Oh, Maggie! Maggie!" He could control himself no longer. As he paced the small room, the tears stood in his eyes, and he locked and unlocked his hands in a passionate effort to relieve his emotion.
She had remembered the time when it was possible that David might go to Pittenloch, and she feared that he would be very miserable when he found out that she had never returned to Kinkell. Without revealing her own location or circumstances, she wished to satisfy him as far as possible of her innocence and welfare; so she had thus written "Dear Davie.
Sorrow has the privilege to neglect ceremonies, and David offered no parting courtesy, but for this omission the minister was rather pleased than angry with him: "The lad has some heart, God be thanked!" he muttered, "and the day will come when he will be grateful to me for troubling it." David went with rapid steps down the rocks to Pittenloch. How hateful the place looked to him that afternoon!
"And every year," she added, "I'll be, if God let me, in Pittenloch on the 29th of August, dear Allan;" for she thought it likely he might come again at that time next year. Into Mysie's hand this letter was given with many injunctions of secrecy and care.
In the excellent Glory His abode Hath been from of old; thence looketh He, And surely He cannot help seeing me. And I think perhaps He thinks of me; For my heart is with Him continually." In the meantime, Allan, like all true lovers, had outrun the clock to keep his tryst. On the evening of the 28th of August a small steamer cast anchor at Pittenloch pier. She had one passenger, Allan Campbell.
Hoo daur you say the like o'that? I ne'er saw the man's face until yestreen; you shouldna think ill o' folk sae easy." "What does he want here amang fishers? They dinna want him, I'm vera sure. There's nae room for gentlemen in Pittenloch." "Ask him what he wants. He pays for his room at Pittenloch; fourteen white shillings every week, he agreed wi' Davie for." "Fourteen shillings!"
"I must also speak to the good wife about a sleeping place for you under her own eye. You'll be going back to-morrow " "I'll not go back to Pittenloch again." Then she told him all the wrong and shame and sorrow that had dogged her life since he had left her at the New Year. "Let me stay near by you, Davie. I can sew, I can go oot to service.
Pittenloch does nothing but talk of her queer ways, and doubtless there have been love promises between her and Mr. Campbell. Now if there is ill said about him and your sister, you must see that it puts you in a bad light to take any favor whatever from him." David rose angrily. "I canna let even you, sir, speak ill in that way about Maggie. I was by her side until Mr. Campbell left Pittenloch.
