"Mar'on, Mar'on," she said, "ye're i' the lan' o' forgiveness! I hae dune the lad no ill. He'll come hame to ye nane the waur for ony words o' mine.

"Ay, your honor; but I waur fain to see the wedding decorations, for a' that," said the boy. "Precisely. But now tell the jury what was the service upon which you were employed to so late an hour that night."
