When I saw that I would have to keep him, I didna ken what name to gie him; but after consulting wi' my friends and the clergyman o' the parish, it was agreed that he should bear the surname o' wur family, and my faither's Christian name; so we called him Patrick Reed.
'I think I have met Miss Langton, said Mark, beginning to see now all that he had gained by learning this simple surname. 'Hasn't she a little sister called Dorothy? 'Dolly? Oh yes.
