"I have not ventured to encounter Tibbie at all. I drove up to your door." "You have been at St. Norbert's all this time," exclaimed Alison. "Do you think no one can carry on a campaign at St.
"What do you mean, miss, by tempting good little Janice Meredith into reading a wicked romance on Sunday?" "'Good little Janice!" cried Tibbie, contemptuously. "I could slap thee for that."
Ye'll hae dreidfu' rheumatize efter this, Tibbie," said Annie, as she got up on her knees, and proceeded to lift Tibbie's head and shoulders, and draw her up in the bed. But the task was beyond her strength. She could not move the helpless weight, and, in her despair, she let Tibbie's head fall back with a dull plash upon the bolster.
I recognized them immeditly. Ye mind the auld gasoliery i' the dinin'-room had twa lichts? Ay, then, the parlour brackets is made oot o' the auld gasoliery." "Weel, Leeby, as sure as ye're standin' there, that passed through my head as sune as Tibbie mentioned them!" "There's nae doot about it. Ay, I was in ane o' the bedrooms, too!" "It would be grand?"

Did you ever read the 'Lady of La Garaye'?"

Neither Presbyterian nor Quaker approved of dancing, and so the regular weekly assemblies were forbidden fruit to the girls, and Janice and Tibbie were too well born to be indelicately of the throng who skated long hours on Assanpink Creek, or to take part in the frequent coasting-parties. But of other amusements they had, in the expression of the day, "a great plenty."
"Maybe I could, Sneck," Haggart replied, cautiously; "but on that point I offer no opinion." "If she bides on the Kaims road," said Tibbie Craik, "she maun be a farmer's dochter.
