He also hoped that, his displeasure gradually passing, he would resume his friendly intercourse with himself; for somehow there was that in the gloomy parson which powerfully attracted the cheery and hopeful soutar, who hoped his troubled abstraction might yet prove to be heart-hunger after a spiritual good which he had not begun to find: he might not yet have understood, he thought, the good news about God that he was just what Jesus seemed to those that saw the glory of God in his face.
My bairn's greitin, and I maun gang til 'im; it's seldom he cries oot!" The minister walked in at the open door of the kitchen, and met the eyes of the soutar expectant. "Ye're welcome, sir!" said MacLear, and returned his eyes to what he had for a moment interrupted. "I want you to make me a nice pair of boots, if you please," said the parson, as cheerily as he could.
MacLear, that I am putting an entirely imaginary case, for the sake of argument only!" "Eh, but I doobt I doobt yer imaiginary case!" murmured the soutar to himself, hardly daring even to think his thought clearly, lest somehow it might reveal itself.
The marquis stopped, aghast at his presumption, and choking with rage; but Malcolm's eyes filled with tears, and instead of breaking out again, his master turned his head away and was silent. Mr Soutar came. "Fetch Morrison," said the marquis, "and go to bed."
"I think," answered the soutar after a moment's thought, "that we must answer the what, before we enter upon the how much. And I think, first of all we must ask to whom are we bound to confess? and there surely the answer is, to him to whom we have done the wrong. If we have been grumbling in our hearts, it is to God we must confess: who else has to do with the matter?
One of the results of this taste of damnation in Robert was, that when he was in bed that night, his heart began to turn gently towards his old master. How much did he not owe him, after all! Had he not acted ill and ungratefully in deserting him? His own vessel filled to the brim with grief, had he not let the waters of its bitterness overflow into the heart of the soutar?
Isy told them as much as she could without breaking her resolve to keep secret a certain name; and wrote to Mr. Robertson, telling him where she was, and that she had found her baby. He came with his wife to see her, and so a friendship began between the soutar and him, which Mr. Robertson always declared one of the most fortunate things that had ever befallen him.
Think o' a Rothieden soutar playin' afore his grace! Robert saw that his mind was wandering, and mingled the paltry honours of earth with the grand simplicities of heaven. He began to play The Land o' the Leal. For a little while Sandy seemed to follow and comprehend the tones, but by slow degrees the light departed from his face.
Much knack and enterprise were early developed among the seamen of the service; their management of boats is to this day a matter of admiration; and I find my grandfather in his diary depicting the nature of their excellence in one happily descriptive phrase, when he remarks that Captain Soutar had landed "the small stores and nine casks of oil with all the activity of a smuggler."
Hopps was so inspired by one of our sunsets to his credit let that be told that he tried to drive Jamie into extravagance. "No bad! I call it glorious, and if it hisn't, then I'd like to know what his." "Man," replied Soutar austerely, "ye 'ill surely keep ae word for the twenty-first o' Reevelation."
