"Oh, wheesht, my darlings, wheesht!" she exclaimed, and she fell upon her knees and threw her arms round the necks of all the three, "you will get bread soon; the Almighty will not permit my bairns to perish; no, no; ye shall have bread." In despair she hurried to the cottage of her birth. The door was opened by one who had been a rejected suitor.
"Wheesht! ye silly lassie, ye," replied her mother; "had I no borne ye, I wad hae said that ye hadna a drap o' my bluid i' yer veins. What is't that ye fear? If they'll abide by my counsel, though it may try their courage, oor purpose shall be accomplished wi' but little scaith."

He put on his overcoat silently, and then came back to the old armchair. "I've been nothing but a burden and a trouble to you all my life," he said bitterly.

"Fool!" "Yes. I thought at first you were having me on, but I think now you're only a wee fool. But I like you all the same!" "Am I a fool for loving you?" he demanded.

Feel them muscles, will you?" He held out his tightened arm as he spoke. "Do you think a wee fellow like you could be a burden to a man with muscles like them, as hard as iron?" But John was not to be put off by talk of that sort. "You know rightly what I mean," he said. "You never get no rest at all, and here's me still at the school!..." "Ah, wheesht with you, boy!"

If I die, ye'll can forgive me, Alan? In my heart, I liked ye fine even when I was the angriest." "Wheesht, wheesht!" cried Alan. "Dinna say that! David man, ye ken " He shut his mouth upon a sob.
