"Yes, to Lerwick, though they may stop at Fair Island on the way. Boris says they could get many men there and Boris knows." "Art thou going to the pier to see them leave? I suppose every one goes. Shall we go together?" "Why, Sunna! They left this morning about four o'clock. Father went down to the pier with Boris. Boris sailed with them." "Thora! Thora!
Many think it too ill-natured for Burns to have written; but my father says it has the true Burns ring and is Robert Burns' writing without doubt." "It will give grandfather a nice long job of investigation. That is one of his favourite amusements, and all Sunna has to do is to be sure he is right and everybody else wrong. Now I will go home." "Stay with me today." "No. Macrae will be here soon."
Sunna went away with the air of a happy, careless girl, but she said many angry words to herself as she hasted on the homeward road. "Most of the tales tell how women are made to suffer by the men they love but no tale shall be made about Sunna Vedder! No! No!
The rumour goes abroad that thy grandfather sent to Inverness for it. Others say it came to thee from Edinburgh." "Wrong are both stories. I am happy to say that Sunna Vedder gave herself a dress so pretty and so suitable." With these smiling words she left the room and the elder women shrugged their shoulders and looked expressively at each other.
In fact, the world belongs to them and all the men and women in it the sun and the moon are made new for them, and they have the only bit of wisdom going. I hope I may be able to say 'yes' to all they claim until Saturday comes." "These are the ways of love, Sunna." "Then I shall not walk in them." "Thou wilt walk in the way appointed thee." "Pure Calvinism is that, Grandfather." "So be it.

"Well, then," answered Rahal, "they are staying longer than was expected, but who can tell what men in a ship will do?" "They will surely keep their word and promise." "Perhaps if it seem a good thing to them. Can thou not see? They are masters on board ship.
"Why, Sunna!" cried Thora, as she hastened to meet her friend, "how glad am I to see thee!" "Thou wert in my heart this morning, and I said to it 'Be content, in an hour I will take thee to thy desire." And they clasped hands, and walked thus into the house. "Art thou not tired after the dance?" "No," replied Thora, "I was very happy. Do happy people get tired?"
For Adam really had no expectation of hearing anything he had not already heard and judged; and he certainly expected nothing unusual from the proper and commonplace Thora Ragnor. But Sunna exerted all her facial skill and eloquence, and told the clever incident with wonderful spirit and delightful mimicry.
Let us have a cup of tea." So they sat down and talked of everything but the war "He would hear us in his sleep," said Max, "and he has borne all he is able to bear today." Then Sunna said: "Right glad am I to put a stop to such a trouble-raising subject. War is a thing by itself, and all that touches it makes people bereft of their senses or some other good thing.
Then she went back to her grandfather and resumed her knitting. Anon, she began to sing. Her face was flushed and her nixie eyes were dancing to the mischief she contemplated. In a few minutes the old gentleman lifted his head, and looked at her. "Sunna," he said, "thy song and thy singing are charming, but they fit not the book I am reading." "Then I will stop singing and thou must talk to me.
