'Come awa in by, Steenie, my man! she said, in a tone that seemed to wrap its object in fold upon fold of tenderness, enough to make the peat-smoke that pervaded the kitchen seem the very atmosphere of the heavenly countries. Steenie stood smiling and undecided on the slab in front of the doorstep. 'Dreid naething, Steenie, his mother went on.
'I thoucht ye wud be efter me! cried Steenie, as she opened the door of his burrow, within an hour of his leaving the house. Now Kirsty had expected to find him full of grief because of Phemy's going, especially as the heartless girl, for such Steenie's sister could not help thinking her, never said good-bye to her most loving slave.
Gang ye oot, an ken 'at I'm i' the hoose, and that ye can come back to me whan ye like. I hae my bulk, and can sit and read fine. 'Ye're aye richt, Kirsty! answered Steenie, rising. 'Ye aye ken what I'm needin. I maun win oot, for I'm some chokin like. But jist come here a minute first, he went on, leading the way to the door.
And now, my lords, let our warrant of mercy to Lord Glenvarloch be presently expedited, and he put to his freedom; and as his estate is likely to go so sleaveless a gate, we will consider what means of favour we can show him. My lords, I wish you an appetite to an early supper for our labours have approached that term. Baby Charles and Steenie, you will remain till our couchee.
'gien ever he be a man! said David to himself with a sigh, and the thought how much better off he was with his half-witted Steenie than his friend with his clever Francie. Mrs. Bremner was sister-in-law to the schoolmaster, and was then on her way to see him and his daughter Phemy.
But supposing Adelais loved you, and my father and and everybody else you know, wished her to be your wife, how would you feel towards her then? Supposing, Maurice only for the sake of supposing, of course." "What a strange fellow you are, Steenie! Why, supposing as you say, such a very wild improbable circumstance were to occur, I should be heartily sorry for poor Adelais!
Out of the darkness at her feet grew the form, as it seemed, of Steenie, lying on his face, just as when she found him there year before. She dropped on her knees beside him. He was alive at least, for he moved! 'Of course, thought Kirsty, 'he's alive: he never was anything else! His face was turned from her, and his arm was under it.
If ever Kirsty came to love a man, it would be just nothing to her to die for him; but then it never would have been anything to her to die for her father or her mother or Steenie! Gordon galloped off at a wild pace, as if he would drive his pony straight athwart the terrible moss, taking hag and well-eye as it came.
So, I think, we had better lay the haill dirdum on that ill-deedie creature, Major Weir, and say naething about your dream in the wood of Pitmurkie. You had taen ower-muckle brandy to be very certain about onything; and, Steenie, this receipt" his hand shook while he held it out "it's but a queer kind of document, and we will do best, I think, to put it quietly in the fire."
It is amazing how much, in the strength of its own divinity, love will dare promise! 'Ay, Kirsty, I ken ye wull, but it's no me! said Steenie. Thereupon he gave a brief, lucid account of what had occurred in the night.
