'Has no young man appeared yet to put Steenie's nose out of joint, Kirsty? asked Gordon. Kirsty thought the question rude, but answered, with quiet dignity, 'No ane. I never had muckle opinion o' yoong men, and dinna care aboot their company. But what are ye thinkin o' duin yersel I mean, whan ye're throu wi' the college? she continued.
Yielding to the spiritual power of Thomas, whose gray-blue eyes were flashing with fervour, Alec kneeled down as he was desired, and Thomas said: "O thou who madest the whales to play i' the great watters, and gavest unto men sic a need o' licht that they maun hunt the leviathan to haud their lamps burnin' at nicht whan thou hast sent thy sun awa' to ither lands, be thou roon' aboot this youth, wha surely is nae muckle waur than him 'at the Saviour lo'ed; and when thou seest his ship gang sailin' into the far north whaur thou keepest thy stores o' frost and snaw ready to remin' men o' thy goodness by takin' the heat frae them for a sizzon�-when thou seest his ship gaein far north, pit doon thy finger, O Lord, and straik a track afore't, throu' amo' the hills o' ice, that it may gang throu' in saf-ety, even as thy chosen people gaed throu' the Reid Sea, and the river o' Jordan.
In order that you may understand I give these just as he had written them. HOW TO FIND ITTE: From inlet nearest shore go 200 paces to summit where Grove is. From most eastern palm measure 12 steps to Ye Umbrela Tree and seven beyond. Take a Be line from here thirty paces throu ye Forked Tree. Here cut a Rite Anggel N. N. E. till Tong of Spit is lost.
"Hoot, my leddy! its a coamplement to the biggest blast 'at ever blew to be compairt till an auld man like him. I'm ower used to them to min' them muckle mysel', 'cep' to fecht wi' them. But whan I watch the seagoos dartin' like arrowheids throu' the win', I sometimes think it maun be gran' for the angels to caw aboot great flags o' wings in a mortal warstle wi' sic a hurricane as this."
Set's face foret, and say "quick mairch," an' he'll ca his bagonet throu auld Hornie. But lay nae consequences upo' him, for he cudna stan' unner them. Dr. Anderson laughed, but thought none the less, and went home to see how his patient was getting on. Meantime Ericson grew better. A space of hard, clear weather, in which everything sparkled with frost and sunshine, did him good.
Ericson burst out laughing, and sat down. But still he hesitated. 'Aff wi' yer shune, sir. Duv ye think I can wash yer feet throu ben' leather? said Miss Letty, not disdaining to advance her fingers to a shoe-tie. 'But I'm ashamed. My stockings are all in holes. A body wad think ye had a clo'en fit in ilk ane o' thae bits o' shune o' yours.
"I was aye sure ye was for fair play, my lord." "It's little enough I've ever had," said the marquis. "Sae lang's we gie plenty, my lord, it maitters less hoo muckle we get. A'body likes to get it." "That doctrine won't carry you far, my lad." "Far eneuch, gien 't cairry me throu', my lord." "How absolute the knave is!" said his lordship good humouredly.
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.
I needna say the bridegroom wasna there. Some fowk thoucht it a guid sign that he hadna cairried the body wi' him; but maybe he was ower suddent scared by the fut o' the priest's horse upo' the drawbrig, an' dauredna bide his oncome. Sae the fower fut stane wa' had to flee afore him, for a throu gang to the Prence o' the Pooer o' the Air.
"The yerl an my leddy sat doon to brak their fast no freely i' the same humour, the twa o' them, as ye may weel believe. Whan they war aboot half throu', wha sud come stridin' in, some dour an' ill pleased like, but the prence himsel'! Baith yerl an' leddy startit up: 'at they sud hae sitten doon till a meal ohn even adverteest their veesitor that sic was their purpose!
