Your change of name " "Oh, sir, I could not endure Calvin tacked on to me! If you knew what I have suffered!" "I know it all. Why did you not tell the Ragnors on your first acquaintance with them?" "Mrs. Ragnor liked Ian because it is the Highland form for John, and Thora loved the name and I did not like, while they knew so little of me, to tell them I had only assumed it.
Only when Ian was present, did Sunna take her proper secondary place and Ian, though the most faithful and attentive of lovers by mail, had only been able to pay Thora one personal visit. This visit had occurred at the end of June and he was expected again at the end of September. The year was now approaching that time and the Ragnor household was in a state of happy expectation.
Did she bring Thora Ragnor a new Easter gown?" "Of a gown I heard nothing. It was a young man she brought! O so beautiful is he! And like an angel he sings! The Bishop was very friendly with him, and the Ragnors, also; but they, indeed! they are friendly with all kinds of people." "This beautiful young man, is he staying with the Ragnors?"
During all this summer, Ragnor was deeply engrossed in his business, and the Vedders remained in Edinburgh, as did also Mistress Brodie, though she had had all the best rooms in her Kirkwall house redecorated. "It is her hesitation about grandfather. She will, and she won't," wrote Sunna, "and she keeps grandfather hanging by a hair."
Then Sunna saw that the moment she had waited for had arrived and she said: "I will tell thee a good story of Robert Burns to flavour thy collops. Will that be to thy wish?" "It is beyond my wish. Thou can not tell me one I do not know." "I heard one today from Thora Ragnor that I never heard thee tell." "Then it cannot be fit for thee and Thora Ragnor to repeat." "Wilt thou hear it?"
They considered it 'highly improper. Others were sure women would be more trouble than help. Many expect their health to fail, and think they will be sent back to English hospitals in a month." "I thought," said Ragnor, "that the objections were chiefly religious." "You are right," replied Ian.
He was greatly offended, but he appeared to turn his back on the whole affair and to be entirely occupied in conversation with Conall Ragnor and Colonel Belton concerning the war with Russia. Every way the evening was to Sunna a great disappointment, in many respects she felt it to be a great humiliation; and the latter feeling troubled her more for her grandfather than for herself.
So there was now comparative happiness in the house of Ragnor, for though the master's letters were never much more than plain statements of doings or circumstances, they satisfied Rahal.
For most fine spirits that dwell by the sea have an elemental sympathy with strange oracles and dreams and old Night. In the morning, Conall Ragnor was the first to awaken. He went at once to fling open his window. Then he cried out in amazement and wonder, and awakened his wife: "Rahal! Rahal!" he shouted. "Come here! Come quick! Look at the town! It is hung with flags.
It is Boris Ragnor I shall turn into laughter he has mocked my very heart I will never forgive him that is the foolish way all women take all but Sunna Vedder she will neither forgive nor forget she will follow up this affair yes!" By such promises to herself she gradually regained her usual reasonable poise, and with a smiling face sought her grandfather.
