He left you solemnly to my charge as if that had been necessary, the foolish fellow, when we are foster-brothers!" Again came a pause. "Not a gentleman-farmer left from one end of the strath to the other!" said the chief at length. "When Ian is at home, we feel just like two old turkey-cocks left alone in the yard!" "Say two golden eagles, sir, on the cliff of the rock."
All that night it poured a deluge, and the morning beheld the Aivron in roaring spate, the familiar landmarks of the banks having mostly disappeared and also many of the mid-channel rocks; while the blue-black current that came whirling down the strath seemed to bring with it the dull, constant thunder of the distant falls.
