If, however, you succeed in doing so, there is no other breed worth more by the pound weight than a first-class Galloway. As to what we term the South-country cattle, I have also given them a trial.
'Can I see her? the sweet, south-country voice went on, still addressing Hester. Sylvia heard the inquiry, and came forwards, with a little rustic awkwardness, feeling both shy and curious. 'Will yo' please walk this way, ma'am? said she, leading her visitor back into her own dominion of the parlour, and leaving Bella to Hester's willing care.
You'll wear my mother's white brocade that she first donned when she became a Leslie, sib to Rothes no a bit housewife of a south-country laird. She was a noble woman, and you're but a heather lintie of a lass to come of a good kind. So God bless you, bairn; ye'll tak the blast of wind and gang." As if the benediction had loosened the arrested tongue, Nelly burst out "Oh, mother, mother! no."
No one dares treat a representative of the great French nation as a mere swindler. The Hemerlingues were finely defeated. "Oh, my duke, my noble duke!" He was so full of emotion that he could not sign his name. Suddenly: "Where is the man who brought this telegram?" "Here, M. Jansoulet," replied a jolly south-country voice from the corridor. He was lucky, that postman. "Come in," said the Nabob.
There are always several days, however, during the rise when all the biggest fish in the brook come out from their homes beneath the willows, take up a favourable place in mid stream, and quietly suck down fly after fly until they are absolutely stuffed. To have fished on one of these days in any well-stocked south-country brook is something to look back upon for many a long day.
So little was the condition of the Highlands known at that late period that the character and appearance of their population, while thus sallying forth as military adventurers, conveyed to the South-Country Lowlanders as much surprise as if an invasion of African Negroes or Esquimaux Indians had issued forth from the northern mountains of their own native country.
They say, "Who ever heard of ladies sitting in the kitchen?" And, indeed, there are many south-country kitchens in which I should not at all like to sit.
Up rose the gulls for answer; and the girl felt the sea-breath from their dazzling wings, and turned behind her to look for that pale opening in the south-west through which the rivers passed. And beyond the fields a wood such a wood as made Laura's south-country eyes stand wide with wonder!
It takes years of practice to learn the art of catching south-country trout in these days, when every fish knows as well as we do the difference between the real fly and the artificial. One might as well ask a lot of schoolboys to a big "shoot," as issue indiscriminate invitations to fish.
It perhaps is rather a waste of time arranging all these vases and baskets of flowers every day, but they are very nice to look at, and I think it civilizes one." "You're not to blame," said Eleanor decisively. "You're south-country to the backbone, and French on the top. It is we hard north-country folk, we business people, who neglect to cultivate 'the beautiful. We're quite wrong.
