Noo, of course, it was juist an or'nary day in Dr. Cameron's parish across the burn the burn divides the twa, ye ken. Weel, Davie was a lad for whustlin' he cudna leeve withoot whustlin' but he was gey religious too. Weel, I met Davie that mornin', walkin' awfu' fast, maist rinnin' an' his face was red. "'Whaur micht ye be gaun, Davie? says I, 'naebody ailin'?

"Haud yer een aff o' rainbows, or ye'll brak' yer shins upo' gravestanes," said the man, and went on, with a shuffling gait, his eyes flashing on Alec, from under projecting brows, as he passed.
