I tell you she can see, and more tan you'll pe think. And I will tell it to you, tere iss a pape in this house, and tere was pe none when Tuncan she'll co away." "We a' ken ye ha'e the second sicht," said Mrs Findlay, who had not expected such a reply; "an' it was only o' the first I spak. Haith! it wad be ill set o' me to anger ye the moment ye come back to yer ain.
Street after street he traversed, making frequent vain inquiries for his "broder, Tuncan Gorm," until midnight, when he suddenly found himself in a large, open space, intersected by alleys formed by magnificent trees, and adorned by playing fountains of great beauty and elegance.
"Malcolm, my son," interjected Duncan, who had been watching for the conversation to afford him an opening, "if you'll pe meeting any one will caal you ta son of tat woman, gif him a coot plow in ta face, for you 'll pe no son of hers, efen if she'll proof it no more as hersel. If you 'll pe her son, old Tuncan will pe tisown you for efer, and efermore, amen."
When she returned with an armful of dry sticks, he repeated the sentiment still more testily, and added "If it wass not for Tuncan, I would have been at home this night in my warm bed, wi' a goot supper inside o' me, instead o' freezin' an' starvin' oot here on the plain among the snow. It's mischief that boy wass always after from the tay he wass born."
But, Taniel," he added, in a more serious tone, "we must hev one like this made for poor Tuncan." As this was the first reference which McKay had made to his younger son since his illness with the exception of the daily inquiry as to his health it was hailed as an evidence that a change for the better was taking place in the old man's mind.
At last he opened his mouth solemnly, and said, with the air of one who had found a way out of a hitherto impassable jungle of difficulty: "If her lord marquis will come to Tuncan's house, and say to Tuncan it was put a choke and he is sorry for it, then Tuncan will shake hands with ta marquis, and take ta pipes." A smile of pleasure lighted up Malcolm's face at the proud proposal.
"She'll pe taking no presents from marquis or tuke tat would pe teceifing old Tuncan, and making him trink with ta cursed Clenlyon. Tell ta marquis he 'll pe sending her cray hairs with sorrow to ta crafe; for she 'll pe tishonoured for efer and henceforth." Probably pleased to be the bearer of a message fraught with so much amusement, the man departed in silence with the pipes.
This he accordingly commenced, and numerous were the calls at shops, and frequent the inquiries he made for Tuncan Gorm; but unavailing were they all. No one understood a word of what he addressed to them; and thus, of course, no one could give him the information he desired.
I come to say that we go to the fort to help them." "Right, boy, right!" exclaimed the old man, hastily belting on his capote. "Fergus! Tuncan! Elspie! where are these boys?" "In the stable, father. I saw them just " "Let them saddle all the nags quick," cried the old man. "Taniel, you better " He stopped; for Daniel had already run out to saddle and mount his own horse.
Donald said he had no objection in the world to try it for a year or two, at any rate only he would like to consult his "broder Tuncan" first. "True, true," said Don Antonio; "I promised to assist you in finding out your relative and I shall do so."
