It's a sin to be discontented I've tellt yo so many times. 'They've got scones and rhubarb jam for tea! cried the child, tumbling the news out as though she were bursting with it. 'Mrs. Wigson, she's allus makin em nice things. She's kind, she is she's nice she wouldn't make em eat stuff like this she'd give it to the pigs 'at she would!
Bisset, the man, permitted a gleam of pleasure to illuminate his blunt features; but Bisset, the philosopher, protested with some dignity. "It was a mere matter of principle, sir. Detention of luggage like yon is no legal. I tellt her ladyship flatly that she'd find herself afore the Shirra', and that I was no going to abet any such proceedings.
"I tellt ye," returned Aggie, quietly but with something like scorn, "'at gien ye wad be true to me, I wad be true to you; but gie yersel' airs, an' I say guid nicht, an' gang efter my fowk." She turned and departed, leaving Elsie more annoyed than repentant: it may take a whole life to render a person capable of shame, not to say sorrow, for the meanest thing of many he has done.
She left the spurtle sticking in the porridge, and dropped into the laird's chair. "What's the maitter wi' ye, Aggie?" said Cosmo, hastening to her in alarm, for her face was now white, and her head was hanging down. "This is no to be borne!" she cried, and started to her feet. " Cosmo, I tellt ye a lee." "Aggie!" cried Cosmo, dismayed, "ye never tellt me a lee i' yer life."
Haud yer han's and yer een aff o' them, as I tellt ye afore. Ay, ay, ye can luik at thae screeds gin ye like. Only dinna say a word to me aboot ony o' them. And tak' warnin' by them yersel, never to write ae word o' poetry, to haud ye frae rivin'." "Sma' fear o' that!" returned Alec, laughing. "Weel, I houp sae. Ye can mak a kirk an' a mill o' them, gin ye like. They hae lain there lang eneuch.
'But what am I to do wi' ye? said Robert once more, in as much perplexity as ever. 'Bide till I hae tellt ye, as I said I wad, answered Shargar. I hae been in Aberdeen three days! Ay, an' I hae seen you ilka day in yer reid goon, an' richt braw it is. Luik ye here!
Weel, I hae seen the said Bible mysel'; and there's this inscription upo' ane o' the blank leaves o' 't: 'Over the twenty-third psalm o' David,'�-I tellt ye that he read that psalm that night�-'Over the twenty-third psalm o' David, I hae laid a five poun' note for my dear Annie Anderson, efter my deith! Syne followed the nummer o' the note, which I can shaw them that wants to see.
"And what will you do with it?" "Tak it wi' me," was the answer, accompanied by another husky laugh. "Where to?" "Speir nae questons, an' ye'll be tellt nae lees. Ony gait, I s' lea' nae track ahin' me. An' for that same sake, I maun hae my pairt i' my han' the meenute the thing's been sworn till. Gien ye fail me, ye'll sune see me get mair licht upo' the subjec', an' confess till a great mistak.
Ye dinna ken what ye wad hae! An' bein' a kin' o' a mither to ye a' yer life, I maun lat ye see what ye're aboot I wadna insist owersair upo' the years atween 's, though that's no a sma' maitter, but surely ye haena to be tellt at this time o' day,'at for fowk to merry 'at dinna loe ane anither, is little gien it be onything short o' a sin."
"I'm vexed it's no to yer taste, laird!" returned Grizzie coolly, "but I hae nane better." "Ye tellt me ye had soor milk," said the laird without a particle of offence, rather in the tone of apology for having by mistake made away with something too good for him.
