Gilian hesitated, with his illusion shattered, and, all unnerved, broke for the second time into tears. "Look at that!" cried Miss Mary pitifully, herself weeping; "you are frightening the poor laddie out of his wits," and she soothed Gilian with numerous Gaelic endearments. "Tuts! never mind me," said the Cornal, rising and coming forward to clap the boy on the head for the very first time.
He started violently that warmth on his cheek brought the terror so near. The heavens were rent with a crash, and the earth seemed on fire. Gourlay screamed in terror. The baker put his arm round him in kindly protection. "Tuts, man, dinna be feared," he said. "You're John Gourlay's son, ye know. You ought to be a hardy man." "Ay, but I'm no," chattered John, the truth coming out in his fear.
"So don't you dare show your nose here without him to-morrow." But Old Angus laughingly refused his son's pleading. "Tuts, tuts," he said reprovingly, "it's the foolish boy that Edward is. He is younger than you, Lad. Indeed I'll not be going, and I think you should jist stay at home yourself, my son. The night air will be damp and you will not be jist too strong yet." Roderick laughed.
Her dress was a warm golden brown; her face clear-skinned and fresh-colored, with bright eyes, a straight little nose, and, at that moment, eager, parted lips; her hair a coil of curling gold; her age nineteen. "Father!" she cried, "you've forgotten your muffler!" "Tut, tuts," muttered Mr. Walkingshaw.
Lizzie was the first to notice it, and going closer, exclaimed, "I am afraid the poor beast must be ill." "Tuts, what nonsense!" said Herbert; "donkeys are never ill. Don't you know they live for ever, Cousin Lizzie?" "Well, I don't know about that," said Charles, going close up to the donkey and looking into its face; "all I can say is, if this poor beast isn't ill it looks very like it."
Tom and Harry instantly got the right kind of inspiration about the matter, and replied, "All right, we're your men! strongest fend off!" but Gloy exclaimed, "I think he must be going off his head," and Bill called out furiously, "Conquer us! come and try, if you dare." "Impudence!" shouted Tom. "Tuts, man, let him haver," said Harry; then to Yaspard, "Well, go on."
"My lad, thank Heaven that your lucky stone and your splendid swimming saved you from that dreadful Sound of Hoy." "I would rather they had saved my father, Mr. Gordon." "I've no doubt you would, Halcro; but I was thinking of something else. I was thinking that when you grow older, and when little Thora as you name her is a woman " "Tuts! Mr. Gordon," said I, guessing what he would be at.
I seem to have a remembrance of seeing someone I know seated in a big chair before this very fire devouring a novel and a Newton pippin together on more Saturday afternoons than I could number." "Tuts!" said his wife, and blushed a rosy red, which made her look ridiculously young and pretty.
"You can hae my room if it please you better, Aunt Janet; but it is a gey cold one in the winter; and there isna ony way to make it warmer." "Tuts, lassie! What for wad I want your bit room, when there is my brither's room empty noo?" She rose as she spoke, and opened the door of the apartment which Allan had so long occupied.
"Tuts, tuts, I am not minding about a bit hime at a time from a friend, but it iss those Lowlanders meddling with everything I do not like, and I am hoping to hear you sing again, for it wass a fery pretty tune;" and the smith, passing along the road when Carmichael left that evening, heard Janet call him "my dear," and invoke a thousand blessings on his head.
