Only when Ian was present, did Sunna take her proper secondary place and Ian, though the most faithful and attentive of lovers by mail, had only been able to pay Thora one personal visit. This visit had occurred at the end of June and he was expected again at the end of September. The year was now approaching that time and the Ragnor household was in a state of happy expectation.
"There will not be many flowers, I fear," answered Mistress Ragnor. "The Grants have a large greenhouse. I shall ask them to save all they possibly can. Maximus Grant delights in doing a kindness." "Then thou must ask him, Sunna. He is thy friend perhaps thy lover. So the talk goes." "Let them talk! My lover is far away. God save him!" "Where then?"
So Sunna had begun to watch for the party three days before the set time, and when it was two days after it she was very unhappy. "Why do they not come, Thora?" she asked in a voice trembling with fear. "Do you think they have been wrecked?" "Oh, no! Nothing of the kind! They may have sailed westward to Harris. My father thinks so."
"Tell me, Sunna, what is happening in the town?" said he. "Well, then, not much now. Men are talking of the war, and going to the war, and empty is the town. About the war, art thou sorry?" "No, I am glad "How glorious the valiant, sword in hand, In front of battle for their native land!" And he raised his small, thin hands, and his face glowed, and he looked like a young St. Michael.
I cannot make the same words mean two distinct and separate things. Sunna has all thy self-wisdom, but she has not thy true heart and thy wise tongue." "Listen to me! Things have come to this Boris has made love to Sunna in the face of all Kirkwall. He has done this for more than a year.
I was now introduced to the company present, of whom one Mgema, an elderly gentleman of great dignity, had the honour to carry Sunna the late king; Mpungu, who cooked for Sunna, also ranks high in court; then Usungu and Kunza, executioners, rank very high, enjoying the greatest confidence with the king; and, finally, Jumba and Natigo, who traced their pedigree to the age of the first Uganda king.
He sent me two Orkney papers and the first thing I noticed was the prevalence of the old names. Among them I saw Mrs. Max Grant, and I thought I would write to her and take my chance of the lady turning out to be the old Sunna Vedder. It was quite a possibility, as we were apparently about the same age when I saw her.
If I get tired of them and I do get tired of men very quickly I will put on my bonnet and tippet, and go and carry Mrs. Brodie thy respectful " "Take care, Sunna!" "Good wishes! I can surely go so far." "Know this every step on that road may lead to danger and thou cannot turn back and tread them the other way. There now, be off! I will talk with thee no longer."
It is fighting in a proper quarrel this year. Different duties, that is all." Every now and then Sunna dropped them letters about which there was much pleasant speculating, for as the summer came forward, she began to accept the disappointments made by the death of Boris, and to consider what possibilities of life were still within her power.
Then Sunna saw that the moment she had waited for had arrived and she said: "I will tell thee a good story of Robert Burns to flavour thy collops. Will that be to thy wish?" "It is beyond my wish. Thou can not tell me one I do not know." "I heard one today from Thora Ragnor that I never heard thee tell." "Then it cannot be fit for thee and Thora Ragnor to repeat." "Wilt thou hear it?"
