He had not been a soft man, nor had he lived an easy life, and now he was to be laid to rest amid the austere majesty of winter, yet in the shining of the sun. Jamie Soutar, with whom I toiled across the Glen, did not think with me, but was gravely concerned.
Maccleary had taken a far kinder leave of them than God could approve, if he resembled his representation, Robert sat still, oppressed with darkness. 'It's a' true, said the soutar; 'but, man Robert, dinna ye think the minister was some sair upo' me? 'I duv think it, answered Robert.
"And now he wants to discharge you?" Then Malcolm told her the whole story, in which he gave such a description of Kelpie, that her owner, as she imagined herself, expressed a strong wish to see her; for Florimel was almost passionately fond of horses. "You may soon do that, my lady," said Malcolm. "Mr Soutar, not being of the same mind as Mr Crathie, is going to send her up.
When he got down at the foot of the hill by Hillocks' farm, to go up the near road, instead thereof he scrambled along the ridge, and looked through the trees as the carriage passed below; but he did not escape. "What's he glowerin' at doon there?" Hillocks inquired of Jamie Soutar, to whom he was giving some directions about a dyke, and Hillocks made a reconnaissance.
Luik them straucht i' the een, and say what at the moment ye think and feel; and dinna hesitate to gie them the best ye hae." "Thank you, thank you, sir! I think I understand," replied James. "If ever I speak again, I should like to begin in your school!" "Ye sall this vera nicht, gien ye like," rejoined the soutar.
Who had any claim to know a mere passing fault, which the partner in it must least of all desire exposed, seeing it would fall heavier upon her than upon him? Where was any call for that confession, about which the soutar had maundered so foolishly?
Robert took the violin, and was about to play, but the soutar stretched out his one left hand, and took it from him, laid it across his chest and his arm over it, for a few moments, as if he were bidding it farewell, then held it out to Robert, saying, 'Hae, Robert. She's yours. Death's a sair divorce. Maybe they 'll hae an orra fiddle whaur I'm gaein', though.
And gien ever the minister should again preach thy word, may it be wi' the better comprehension, and the mair fervour; and to that en' gie him to un'erstan' the hicht and deepth and breid and len'th o' thy forgivin love. Thy name be gloryfeed! Amen!" "Na, na, I'll never preach again!" whispered James to the soutar, as they rose from their knees.
The captain worked the vessel into smooth water with admirable dexterity, and I got on board again about 6 p.m. from the other side of the point. But not even the dexterity of Soutar could prevail always; and my grandfather must at times have been left in strange berths and with but rude provision.
Lea' them there thegither, Maggie, my doo," he went on with infinite tenderness, "and come and gie me a han' as sune as ye hae maskit the tay, and gotten a lof o' white breid. I s' hae my parritch a bit later." Maggie obeyed at once, and took Isy to the other end of the house, where the soutar had long ago given up his bed to her and the baby.
