This is not to make any severe charge against him, considering how it is with the common run of brothers and sisters, husbands and wives; at the same time, most people certainly are haunted by the memory of the past, and love for “Auld lang syne,” and this Aristo might indeed have had, and perhaps had not. He loved chiefly for the present, and by the hour.
Rilla glanced up at the Manse on the hill. She could see a light in Una Meredith's window. She felt tempted to say something then she knew she must not. It was not her secret: and, anyway, she did not know she only suspected. Walter looked about him lingeringly and lovingly. This spot had always been so dear to him. What fun they all had had here lang syne.
Of course, I bought some, by wholesale, in fact, and am smoking one while writing, for the sake of auld lang syne. Unfortunately, this horrible reading-room in which I am writing doesn't get any the warmer, no matter how many cigarettes I light. You were with us two weeks when fate came and knocked at the door. We both rushed to the door and caught a cold, it seems.
On New Year's Night we collected on the stairs, and joining hands with a few French and Russians, sang "Auld Lang Syne," and scampered back to bed before the wily Huns appeared on the scene.
I must drink `Auld lang syne, by Heavens." The master-at-arms again made his appearance. "Gentlemen, you must put the light out." "Stop one minute, Byfield. Let us see whether we can get any more rum." The excuse appeared reasonable to the jack in office, and he disappeared. "Boy, tell Billy Pitt I want him."
I need one, for Lean's after me wi' a gun. He had a shot at me two days syne." Dickson exclaimed, and Dougal with morose pride showed a rent in his kilt. "If I had had on breeks, he'd ha' got me." "Who's Lean?" Heritage asked. "The man wi' the black coat. The other the lame one they ca' Spittal." "How d'you know?" "I've listened to them crackin' thegither."
Here Potts put an arm over the shoulder of Big Joe and urged pleadingly: "Another verse of that sweet old song, boys. I tell you that has the true heart-stuff in it now " They roared out a verse of "Auld Lang Syne," with execrable attempts at part-singing, little Dan Lefferts, a dissolute house-painter, contributing a tenor that was simply maniacal. Potts ordered more drinks.
Then he wad sit half the day and half the nicht forby, which was scant decent writin', nae less; and first they were feard he wad read his sermons; and syne it proved he was writin' a book himsel', which was surely no fittin' for ane of his years an' sma' experience.
It is not a great many years since a respectable woman, above the lower rank of life, expressed herself very warmly to the author on his taking the freedom to censure the behaviour of the MacGregors on the occasion in question. She said "that there was no use in giving a bride too much choice upon such occasions; that the marriages were the happiest long syne which had been done offhand."
The bugle note had followed the departing tender with wistful strains of "Auld Lang Syne," and the emancipated passengers were pouring out upon old England's hospitable soil.
