Real fine they are such as will make my brither entomologists in Edinburgh open their eyes as big as Duddingston Loch when they see them. But there I must be daft to be thinkin' o' moths at such a time. See, Haggis! Hurry on wi' the denner! We'll be striking the camp, for we must mak' straight for Pleasant Valley wi'oot delay."
"That's nothing," retorted May Girmory, "for where I was on the Beltane eve, there in that very place ye were yourself you and my brither Jo. It is like that ye would keep that secret?
