And thus they were situated, lover-like, when a low, rapt voice broke in on them, 'A dear-lov'd lad, convenience snug, A treacherous inclination. "Oh, Wullie, I wush you were here!" It was little M'Adam. He was leaning in at the open window, leering at the young couple, his eyes puckered, an evil expression on his face. "The creetical moment! and I interfere! David, ye'll never forgie me."
How many miles he wandered thus, the Dwarf keeping silently beside him, he never knew, before he sank exhausted on the ground, saying: "I'm thinking, man, that if ye could bring hame to me, in place of bringing me hame, I'd misdoubt your powers nae mair. It's a far cry to Loch Awe, ye ken, and it's a weary long road to Brockburn." "Is this your wush?" asked the Man of Peace.
"'An' all de lame people, an' sick people, an' ole people, said de little gal, 'I wush dey could all git well, an' strong, an' lib in er beautiful place jes like dis, an' all be happy. "Oh, de little birds! what er bustle dey wuz in to be sho'! Dey sot upon de bery topes' branches, an' dey sung like dey'd split der troats, "'I wush I had, 'I wush I wuz. "But de little gal neber min' 'em.
"Cleverly stopped, indeed!" Frank halloaed; "and by no means an easy shot! and so our work's clean done for this place, at the least!" "The boy can shoot some," observed Tom Draw, who loved to bother Timothy; "the boy can shoot some, though he does come from Yorkshire!" "Gad! and Ay wush Ay'd no but gotten thee i' Yorkshire, measter Draa!" responded Tim. "Why! what if you had got me there?"
His eyes were bleared, his thin hair all tossed, and he was shaking. "David," he called again; "I've somethin' I wush to say to ye!" The boy burst into the room. His face was stained with tears and rain; and the new black coat was wet and slimy all down the front, and on the elbows were green-brown, muddy blots.
Dey ain' nuffin dat kin stan' up side'n de scuppernon' fer sweetness; sugar ain't a suckumstance ter scuppernon'. W'en de season is nigh 'bout ober, en de grapes begin ter swivel up des a little wid de wrinkles er ole age, w'en de skin git sof' en brown, den de scuppernon' make you smack yo' lip en roll yo' eye en wush fer mo'; so I reckon it ain' very 'stonishin' dat niggers lub scuppernon'.
She looked me over critically, and then greatly disconcerted me by remarking that: "She was gey thankfu' to the Lord that it was a' by afore I cam', as she had nae wush to be meddled wi' by a laddie of nineteen." Yet I was two years older than the doctor who had attended her. If in China you are so fortunate as to be graced with a beard, the Chinaman will add many years to your true age.
"But eh, man! ye've had your last wush." And even as the stupefied Laird gazed, the light slowly died away, and the Man of Peace vanished also. On the following morning the Laird was roused from sleep by loud cries of surprise and admiration.
"But all dat time nobody neber wush nobody else was rich, an' good, an' lubly, an' happy; fur don't yer see de birds neber sung, 'I wush you wuz, 'I wush dey had," but all de time 'I wush I wuz, 'I wush I had. At last, one day dar come inter de gyarden er po' little cripple gal, who lived 'way off in er ole tumble-down house.
But if your honour wad wush me to ony place where I wad hear pure doctrine, and hae a free cow's grass, and a cot, and a yard, and mair than ten punds of annual fee, and where there's nae leddy about the town to count the apples, I'se hold mysell muckle indebted t'ye." "Bravo, Andrew! I perceive you'll lose no preferment for want of asking patronage."
