"We're no far frae there," says I an' deed I can hardly tell ye, Robert, what garred me say sae, but I jist wantit to ken what that gentleman-brither o' mine was efter; "tak the horse hame," says I "I'll jist loup upo' Black Geordie an' we'll hae a glaiss thegither. I'll stan' treat." Sae he gae me the bridle, an' I lap on. The deevil tried to get a moufu' o' my hip, but, faith!
But, what I feel as strongly as a' the rest, Eachen we hae done meikle ill thegither.

Who is she?" Malcolm hesitated a moment: if she really did not know what he meant, was there any risk in telling her? But he saw none. "Wha is she, mem!" he returned. "I whiles think she maun be the laird's guid angel, though in shape she's but a wee bit lassie. She maks up for a heap to the laird. Him an' her, mem, they 've disappeart thegither, naebody kens whaur."
