In this case Shargar, having roamed the country a good deal more than Robert, and having been present at some merry-makings with his mother, of which there were comparatively few in that country-side, was better informed than his friend. 'Eh! Bob, duvna ye ken what that is? I thocht ye kent a' thing. That's a fiddle.
But, indeed, whatever Falconer heard or saw was something more to him than it would have been to anybody else. Elated, though awed, by the vision, he felt his way up the stair in the new darkness, as if walking in a holy dream, trod as if upon sacred ground as he crossed the landing where the angel had stood went up and up, and found Shargar wide awake with expectant hunger.
He was staring with wide eyes into, not at the crowd of vehicles that filled the street. His face was pale, and strangely like the Shargar of old days. 'What's the matter with you? Robert asked in some bewilderment. Receiving no answer, he followed Shargar's gaze, and saw a strange sight for London city.
He then told Johnston to help the patient to bed. 'I maun gang hame, objected Shargar. 'What wad Robert think? 'I will tell him all about it, said the doctor. 'Yersel, sir? stipulated Shargar. 'Yes, myself. 'Afore nicht? 'Directly, answered the doctor, and Shargar yielded.
So the next morning the boys parted Shargar to school, and Robert to Bodyfauld Shargar left behind with his desolation, his sun gone down in a west that was not even stormy, only gray and hopeless, and Robert moving towards an east which reflected, like a faint prophecy, the west behind him tinged with love, death, and music, but mingled the colours with its own saffron of coming dawn.
It was the voice of the cabman who had been in altercation with the woman. Bursting into an insulting laugh, he used words with regard to her which it is better to leave unrecorded. The same instant Shargar freed himself from her grasp, and stood by the fore wheel of the cab. 'Get down! he said, in a voice that was not the less impressive that it was low and hoarse.
Night after night he returned to the battle, but with no permanent success. What a success that would have been! Night after night he came pale and worn from the conflict, found his grandmother and Shargar composed, and in the quietness of despair sat down beside them to his Latin version.
As Robert came home from school, wondering what could have become of his companion, he saw a crowd about his grandmother's door, and pushing his way through it in some dismay, found Dooble Sanny and Shargar confronting each other before the stern justice of Mrs. Falconer. 'Ye're a leear, the soutar was panting out. 'I haena had a pair o' shune o' Robert's i' my han's this three month.
He lost no time in telling him the story. 'I tauld ye he was up to some deevilry or ither, said Shargar. 'I can shaw ye the verra hoose he maun be gaein' to tak her frae. 'Ye vratch! what for didna ye tell me that afore? 'Ye wadna hear aboot ither fowk's affairs. Na, not you! But some fowk has no richt to consideration. The verra stanes they say 'ill cry oot ill secrets like brither Sandy's.
'Ow, jist gaein' to be a croon o' glory to ye, grannie. He vroucht like a horse till Dr. Anderson took him by the han', an' sent him to the schuil. An' he's gaein' to mak something o' 'im, or a' be dune. He's a fine crater, Shargar. 'He tuik a munelicht flittin' frae here, rejoined the old lady, in a tone of offence. 'He micht hae said gude day to me, I think.
