The two women stole into the parlor. "Tell me what will be the result o' his coming here," entreated Jean. "The result," Babbie said firmly, "will be that he shall go away and leave me here." Margaret heard Jean open the front door and speak to some person or persons whom she showed, into the parlor. "You dare to look me in the face!" They were Rintoul's words.
"As you ken, Rintoul's so little o' a Scotchman that he's no muckle better than an Englisher. That maun be the reason he hadna mair sense than to tramp on a Highlandman's ancestors, as he tried to tramp on Lauchlan's this day." "If Lord Rintoul insulted the piper," I suggested, giving the farmer a helping hand cautiously, "it would be through inadvertence.
"How did you no lay haud on that blast o' wind, Lauchlan Campbell," asked Elspeth of her husband, "and speir at him what had happened at the Spittal? A quarrel afore a marriage brings ill luck." "I'm thinking," said the farmer, "that Rintoul's making his ain ill luck by marrying on a young leddy." "A man's never ower auld to marry," said Elspeth.
"Rintoul carried her off with no possible purport," he said, "but to set my marriage at defiance, and she has had a conviction always that to marry me would be to ruin me. It was only in the shiver Lord Rintoul's voice in the darkness sent through her that she yielded to my wishes.
Worldly matters are nothing to either of us now, but I implore you not to carry a lie into your Maker's presence." "I will not give up hope," was all Rintoul's answer, and he again tried to pierce the mist with offers of reward. After that he became doggedly silent, fixing his eyes on the ground at his feet.
