My uncle, who, perhaps, was not entitled to expect a very alert sportsman in his nephew, bred as he had been in foreign parts, seemed rather surprised to see me, and I thought his morning salutation wanted something of the hearty and hospitable tone which distinguished his first welcome. "Art there, lad? ay, youth's aye rathe but look to thysell mind the old song, lad
Hast thou brought ony more bastards wi' thee to lay to honest men's doors? or does thou think to burden us with this goose, that's as hare-brained as thysell, as if rates were no up enow?

Hast no cousin or sister, lass, that such an offer would suit?"

"Rashleigh," said his father, looking fixedly at him, "thou art a sly loon thou hast ever been too cunning for me, and too cunning for most folks. Have a care thou provena too cunning for thysell two faces under one hood is no true heraldry. And since we talk of heraldry, I'll go and read Gwillym."
