He walkit up and doon the room a' the time, and every other meenut he blew his nose like a trumpet. "'I've a cold in my head to-night, Drumsheugh, says he; 'never mind me."
'She telt me a'thing she didna keep to hersel'. But I dinna think mysel' there's a beau in this business. The theatre wad be mair like it; she had aye a desire to be an actress. 'Indeed! said Walter, in surprise. He had never before heard such a thing hinted at, but no doubt it was true. He really knew very little about his sister, although they had always been the best of friends.
With this thought came the guilty realization that he had forgotten completely about Telt's death. Even before he contacted the Nyjord fleet he must tell Hys and his rebel army what had happened to Telt and his sand car. Also about the radioactive traces.
Young Malcolm galloped hame an' telt his tale to his mither just as I hae telt it to you, young misses." With appropriate looks and gestures the old man had told his story, his listeners sitting as if spellbound, motionless except for a whispered word of explanation here and there from Marjory.

The wy Eppie found out i' the tail o' the day was by wonderin' at 'im sleepin' sae muckle in the daytime. He did that so as to be fresh for his sport at nicht. What a fine releegious man we thocht 'im, too! "Eppie couldna bear the very sicht o' the tray after that, an' she telt me to break it up; but I keepit it, ye see.

"Got the sack again, I suppose," said Sanny. "Weel, he maun learn, Peter, that gaffers are no' gaun to put up wi' his nonsense. If a man will no' do what he's telt, he maun just take the consequences." "Ay," said Peter, very dryly, and as Peter knew his man, no more was said.

He jumped nervously and put the tape behind his back, then relaxed when he saw who it was. "I thought you were the creepie out there, coming for a look," he whispered. "Maybe you trust him but I can't afford to. Can't even use the radio. I'm getting out of here now.
"Why, ye see, as I've telt ye, I'm booked to ship wi' the black `sheik' I've heerd them ca' him. Well, from what I ha'e seed and heerd there's nae doot they're gaein' to separate an' tak different roads. I didna ken muckle o' what they saved, but I could mak oot two words I ha'e often heerd while cruisin' in the Gulf o' Guinea.
"I've telt thee afore thou'rt yan of the wise asses. What do you mean by sell?" "I reckon you know when strangers in the street can tell me." The blacksmith coiled himself up in his gloomy reserve and stared into the fire. "Oh, thou's heard 'at yon man's in Doomsdale, eh?" Joe grunted something that was inarticulate. "I mean to hear the trial," continued Mrs. Garth, with a purr of satisfaction.
