That's the first thing. Second, Thomas Yownie has took a party to get down the box from the station. He got Mrs. Sempills' powny, and he took the box ayont the Laver by the ford at the herd's hoose and got it on to the shore maybe a mile ayont Laverfoot.
"I dare say no," said the precentor; "for Miss Bertram comes on the white powny ilka day to the kirk and a constant kirk-keeper she is and it's a pleasure to hear her singing the psalms, winsome young thing." "Ay, and the young Laird of Hazlewood rides hame half the road wi' her after sermon," said one of the gossips in company; "I wonder how auld Hazlewood likes that."
We turned him loose, and, strange to say, he never ran away from us or refused to be caught, but behaved as if he had known Scotch boys all his life; probably because we were about as wild as young Indians. One day when father happened to have a little leisure, he said, "Noo, bairns, rin doon the meadow and get your powny and learn to ride him."
"Well, sir," the keeper made answer, as he drew out his gralloching knife, "you see, there's few things more difficult than to strap a deer on the back of a powny when there's no proper deer-saddle. No, sir, we'll just leave him in a safe place for the night and send for him in the morning."
There will be a hundred strapping Elliots to ride the brouze the like's no been seen sin' the days of auld Martin of the Preakin-tower I wad send the sled for ye wi' a canny powny." "Is it to me you propose once more to mix in the society of the common herd?" said the Recluse, with an air of deep disgust.
But what do ye ken, dear?" "Ken!" replied she; "if he refuses to pardon ye, I'll threaten to tell the queen what he said to me, and what offers he made to me when ye was running out after the powny." Andrew was about to answer her, when he started at a heavy sound of footsteps approaching the cottage. "They are in search o' me!" he exclaimed. Instantly a dozen of armed men entered the cottage.
But I'll no need your callant, mony thanks to ye I'll send little Davie on your powny, and that will be just five-and- threepence to ilka ane o' us, ye ken." "Davie! the Lord help ye, the bairn's no ten year auld; and, to be plain wi' ye, our powny reists a bit, and it's dooms sweer to the road, and naebody can manage him but our Jock."
'She used to be bonny, that is, as a button or a buckle micht be bonny. What she may be the noo, I dinna ken, for I haena set ee upon her sin' she cam to the Knowe orderin me to sen' back Francie's powny: she was suppercilly eneuch than for twa cornels and a corporal, but no ill luikin. Gien she hae a spot o' beaouty left, the drink 'll tak it or it hae dune wi' her!
I tell ye, Jeanie Deans, I am a man of few words, but I am laird at hame, as well as in the field; deil a brute or body about my house but I can manage when I like, except Rory Bean, my powny; but I can seldom be at the plague, an it binna when my bluid's up."
"He's a gude creature," said she, "and a kind it's a pity he has sae willyard a powny."
