One of these monsters, coming apparently from infinity and bound for the back of beyond, lumbered wearily over the heads of "A" Company, partaking of breakfast. Private Mucklewame paused in the act of raising his canteen to his lips. "There's Wullie awa' for a walk!" he observed. Considering that they were upon the eve of an epoch-making combat, the regiment were disappointingly placid.
Next day she went back to gaze fascinated at the hole, only to find that already the dry sand had almost filled it, quite covering the cracked place where she had kneeled, the turret and the roof. She told no one but Hunchback Wullie, an old man who tended the green-wood fires in the huts on the beach, where fish were cured.
All four were travelling at a terrific rate; while the two flags were barely twenty yards in front, below the line of flight and almost parallel to it. To effect the turn a change of direction must be made almost through a right angle. "He's beat! he's beat! M'Adam's beat! Can't make it nohow!" was the roar. From over the stream a yell "Turn 'em, Wullie!"
But the fight was not to be; for the twentieth time the Master intervened. "Bob, lad, coom in!" he called, and, bending, grasped his favorite by the neck. M'Adam laughed softly. "Wullie, Wullie, to me!" he cried. "The look o' you's enough for that gentleman." "If they get fightin' it'll no be Bob here I'll hit, I warn yo', M'Adam," said the Master grimly.
Na; they plotted, they conspired, they worked ilka ain o' them agin us, and they beat us. Ay, and noo they're robbin' us robbin' us! But they shallna ha' her. Oor's or naebody's, Wullie! We'll finish her sooner nor that." He banged the Cup down on the table and rushed madly out of the room, Red Wull at his heels. In a moment he came running back, brandishing a great axe about his head.
Over her shoulder she said in a voice that wavered slightly: 'That was hard cheese, Wullie, but ye maun send her a cheerier-like caird next time. I'll stand ye an optimistic specimen afore ye leave the shop. 'Thenk ye! A of course we'll ha'e to draw the line at picturs o' folk dookin' in the sad sea waves or canoodlin' on the shore
His geniality was not fully restored until, at the end of the meal, Christina laid a box of superior cigarettes between her two guests. 'May I drap deid in five meenutes, he declared, 'if ever I was treated like this afore! Macgreegor, ye're jist a damp lucky deevil! 'Oh, whisht! said Christina smiling. 'Ye should get a girl, Wullie, Macgregor remarked with the air of an old married man.
Ma mither and she went; then ma wife" he gave a great swallow "and she's awa'; and I may say they're the only two human bein's as ha' lived on God's earth in ma time that iver tried to bear wi' me; and Wullie. A man's mither a man's wife a man's dog! it's aften a' he has in this warld; and the more he prizes them the more like they are to be took from him."
David knew it, knew that nothing could avert it, and braced himself to meet it. The smile had fled from his face, and his breath fluttered in his throat like the wind before a thunderstorm. "What of it?" The little man's voice was calm as a summer sea. "Why, your Wullie as I told yo' was on the Screes last night." "Go on, David."
We can do nothing till we stop fighting and lean on Him. He is kinder than all our hopes, kinder than all our fears " His voice stopped with shot-like suddenness and his hands fell to his side as he swayed. Marcella, Wullie and several others rushed to his side. He fell, dragging the hunchback with him.
