'The puir lassie, she said to herself, 'may be growin warm, and sleepin deith awa; and by the time we win there she'll be needin something, like the lassie 'at the Lord liftit! But in her heart she had little hope: it would be a sad day for the schoolmaster. She went to her father and mother's room, found them awake, and told them Steenie's tale. 'It's time we war up, wuman! said David.
Not a live thing, it seemed almost, could spread wing or wag tail, but Steenie would become thereby aware of its presence. Kirsty, boastful to her parents of the faculty of Steenie, said to her father one day, 'I dinna believe, father, wi' Steenie on the bog, a reid worm cud stick up his heid oot o' 't ohn him seen 't! 'I'm thinkin that's no sayin over muckle, wuman! returned David.
"Duncan MacPhail's nae bluid o' mine the mair's the pity!" said Malcolm sadly and told her all he knew. Miss Horn's visage went through wonderful changes as he spoke. "Weel, it is a mercy I hae nae feelin's!" she said when he had done. "Ony wuman can lay a claim till me 'at likes, ye see," said Malcolm.
'But I div won'er ye're no fleyt! 'Fleyt! rejoined Steenie; 'what for wud I be fleyt? What is there to be fleyt at? I never was fleyt at face o' man or wuman na, nor o' beast naither! I was ance, and never but that ance, fleyt at the face o' a bairn! 'And what for that, Steenie? 'He was rinnin efter his wee sister to lick her, and his face was the face o' a deevil.
Ye hae whaur to put them. "Ow, guid dale fleers what ither?" answered the farmer. " It's the wa's, wuman, no the fleers we hae to be concernt aboot i' this wather." "Gien the j'ists be strang, an' weel set intil the wa's, what for sudna ye tak the horse up the stair intil yer bedrooms?
There's Maister Donal, the factor, gaein aboot like are in a dilemm as to cuttin 's thro't or blawin his harns oot! He daursna say a word, ye see! The auld laird trustit him, and he's feart 'at he be blamit, but there's nae duin onything wi' that wuman: the siller maun be forthcomin whan she's wantin 't! 'The siller's no hers ony mair nor the Ian'; a' 's the yoong laird's! remarked David.
Ye may speyk to my lady there as ye wad to mysel' an' better, haein' the hert o' a wuman." Lizzy blushed a deep red, and dared but the glimmer of a glance at Clementina, but there was only shame, no annoyance in her face. "Ye winna repent it, Lizzy," concluded Malcolm, and turned away.
Dinna stan' there, laddie. The jaud 'll be watchin' ye like a cat watchin' a mouse. I ken her! She's a cat wuman, an' I canna bide her. Come awa' wi' me; I want a bit fish. I can ill eat an' her lyin' deid I' the hoose it winna gang ower; but I maun get some strength pitten intil me afore the berial. It's a God's mercy I wasna made wi' feelin's, or what wad hae come o' me!
I wudna hae presumed but that I thoucht, although I dinna deserve 't, for auld kin'ness ye wud say what ye wud advise. 'I'll du that, Francie no for auld kin'ness, but for kin'ness never auld. What's wrang wi' ye? 'Kirsty, wuman, she's brocken oot again! 'I dinna won'er. I hae h'ard o' sic things. 'It's jist taen the pith oot o' me! What am I to du?
'Come up the road here, to oor public, an' tak a glaiss, wuman, said Falconer. 'Dinna haud the fowk luikin' at ye. The temptation of a glass of something strong, and the hope of getting money out of them, caused an instant acquiescence.
