The sisters came in from their day's work, both well-favoured lasses, with John's eyes and hair, and cooked the simple meal of broth and porridge, and the fowl they had kept so long against the captain's home-coming. He carved with many a light word that cost him dear. Did Janet reca' the simmer nights they had supped here, wi' the bumclocks bizzin' ower the candles?
For he was heedful of the astrologer's warning, and it was this most that he was minded to conceal from his son.
