But gien Glashruach be yer ain, my bonnie man, ye maun gang doon there this verra nicht, and gie a luik to the burn; for the last time I was there, I thoucht it was creepin' in aneth the bank some fearsome like for what's left o' the auld hoose, an' the suner it's luikit efter maybe the better. Eh, Sir Gibbie, but ye sud merry the bonnie leddy, an' tak her back till her ain hoose."
She set hersel' to put questions till him, sic as she thoucht he wad like to answer a' aboot himsel' an' what he had come throu'; an' sic stories as he tellt! She atten't till him as she had never dune to guest afore, an' her father saw 'at she was sair taen wi' the man.
He made straucht for the bed, as I thoucht. The Lord preserve's! thoucht I, is he gaein to lie doon wi' 's ain corp? but he turnt awa', an' roon' the fit o' the bed to the ither side o' 't, an' I saw nae mair; an' for a while, auntie Jean sat her lane wi' the deid, for I lay upo' the flure, an' naither h'ard nor saw.
At first he was not pleased, but the last time I spoke, he took it kindly, an' said he would think aboot what I had been sayin'. Noo, it's heavy on me the thoucht o' goin' away an' leavin' him in that state, so I thoucht that maybe ye would tak the metter up, sir, an' see what ye can do wi' him.

Ochone! it will pe a plot upon you aal your tays, my son, and she'll not can help you, and it 'll pe preaking her old heart!" "Gien God thoucht the Cam'ells worth makin', daddy, I dinna see 'at I hae ony richt to compleen 'at I cam' o' them."
What possessed ye, lass, to dee sic a thing?" She stood distressed, and made no answer. "Hoot, lassie, tell me!" insisted Peter; "I haena been an ill maister til ye, have I?" "Sir, ye hae been like the maister o' a' til me! But I canna that is, I maunna or raither, I'm determined no to explain the thing til onybody." "Thoucht ye my wife was feart the minister micht fa' in love wi ye?"
"If you think the papers to which you refer of the least value, allow me to tell you it is an entire mistake." "There was ane thoucht them o' vailue," replied Miss Horn and her voice trembled a little, but she hemmed away her emotion "for a time at least, my lord; an' for her sake they're o' vailue to me, be they what they may to yer lordship.

For mysel', I s' bainish the thoucht o' the thing." "I thank ye, Cosmo. Ye wad aye du like the Lord himsel'. But there's mair intil't. I dinna ken what to du or say. It's a sair thing to stan' 'atween twa, an' no ken what to du ohn dune mischeef maybe wrang! There's something it 'maist seems to me ye hae a richt to ken, but I canna be sure; an yet "
