'Oh, jist guessed. It's her? 'Maybe. . . . She hasna ta'en the ring yet. 'But ye think she will, or ye wudna ha'e tell't me. Weel, I'm sure I wish ye luck, Macgreegor. She's a bonny bit lass, rael clever, I wud say, an' an' gey stylish. 'She's no that stylish onyway, no stylish like Aunt Purdie. 'Ah, but ye maunna cry doon yer Aunt Purdie 'I didna mean that. But ye ken what I mean, fayther.
And while he meditated, his aunt and uncle appeared together. 'Yer aunt'll explain, said Mr. Purdie, looking most unhappy. 'I couldna dae it. 'How do you do, Macgregor? said Aunt Purdie, shaking hands with stiff kindliness. 'I am delighted to perceive you in Aberdeen. But what a deplorable catastrophe! what a dire calamity! what an ironical mishap! 'She means began Mr.
Taggart, he was then a middle-aged man, so he's now getting on in years. But if he's alive, I can find him." "We've got to find him," said Purdie, firmly. "In my opinion, he can give some evidence that'll be of more importance than the mere identifying of those rings never mind what it is I'm thinking of, now. We must see to that tomorrow." "But in the meantime," broke in Zillah.
He was a well- to-do man, Mr. Purdie a rich man, in fact, and a considerable property owner I did all his work of that sort. But as regards his secrets, I know nothing except that since yesterday, I have discovered that he certainly had them. I have, as Miss Wildrose knows and by her instructions been making some enquiries at the bank where Mr.
She received her visitors in the parlour where old Daniel had been found dead: after a moment's inspection of her, and the exchange of a few remarks about Lauriston, Purdie suggested that they should all sit down and talk matters over.

After a time, however, Purdie would present himself at the door of the parlor, and observe, "I ha' been thinking over the matter, and upon the whole, I think I'll take your honor's advice." Scott laughed heartily when this anecdote was told of him. "It was with him and Tom," he said, "as it was with an old laird and a pet servant, whom he had indulged until he was positive beyond all endurance."
The crowd surged out into the damp November morning, eagerly discussing the evidence just given. Purdie, Lauriston, and Guyler, all equally mystified, followed, already beginning to speculate and to theorize. Suddenly Melky Rubinstein hurried up to them, waving a note. "There was a fellow waiting outside with this from Zillah," said Melky. "She'd heard you were all here, and she knew I was.
"He might have borrowed it from some friend," suggested Purdie. "I thought of that, sir," said Ayscough. "It seems the natural thing to think of. But Mrs. Parslett says they haven't a friend from whom he could have borrowed such an amount not one!
