Serve him cannily, Jenny, and wi' little din, and dinna bring the sodgers on him by speering ony questions at him; but let na him hae a room to himsell, they wad say we were hiding him. For yoursell, Jenny, ye'll be civil to a' the folk, and take nae heed o' ony nonsense and daffing the young lads may say t'ye. Folk in the hostler line maun put up wi' muckle.
And there's the Grahames, and the Buchanans, and the Lennox gentry, a' mounted and in order It's weel ken'd their quarrel; and I dinna blame them naebody likes to lose his kye. And then there's sodgers, puir things, hoyed out frae the garrison at a' body's bidding Puir Rob will hae his hands fu' by the time the sun comes ower the hill.
Ole Marster steal? Huh! he 'ouldn't even tech a chicken dat 'uz roos'in in his own yard. But dese yer sodgers! Why, you cyarn tu'n yo' eye a splinter off de vittles fo' dey's done got 'em. Dey poke dey han's right spang in de fire en eat de ashes en all." He went off grumbling to lie down at a little distance, and Dan sat thoughtfully looking into the smouldering fire.
"Who be you young fellows?" asked Isaac Klem curiously. "I am Dick Rover, and these are my brothers Tom and Sam. We belong to the cadets of Putnam Hall." "The young sodgers up to Bass Lake?" "Yes." "I see. Well, it was gritty o' you to face my bull, and I give ye credit for it. My name's Isaac Klem, and thet's my farm over yonder.
"Isn't there a single chicken left?" hopelessly persisted the old lady. "Who gwine lef' 'em? Ain' dose low-lifeted sodgers dat rid by yestiddy done stole de las' one un 'um off de nes'?" Mrs. Lightfoot sternly remonstrated. "They were our own soldiers, Rhody, and they don't steal they merely take." "I don' see de diffunce," sniffed Aunt Rhody.
After a time Joe Blunt reined up, and they proceeded at an easy ambling pace. Joe and his friend Henri were so used to these beautiful scenes that they had long ceased to be enthusiastically affected by them, though they never ceased to delight in them. "I hope," said Joe, "that them sodgers 'll go their ways soon.
The girl glanced towards a slouching burdened figure that now appeared to be preceding them, straightened herself suddenly, and then looked attentively towards the Marsh. "Not the sodgers again?" said her brother impatiently. "No," she said quickly; "but if that don't beat anythin'! I'd hev sworn, Jim, that Yeller Bob was somewhere behind us.
Shortly thereafter she was daundering on the craigs wi' twa-three sodgers, and it was a blawy day. There cam a gowst of wind, claught her by the coats, and awa' wi' her bag and baggage. And it was remarked by the sodgers that she gied but the ae skirl. Nae doubt this judgment had some weicht upon Tam Dale; but it passed again and him none the better. Ae day he was flyting wi' anither sodger-lad.
And when us see they sodgers go past I thought no other than he'd a set off then and there. As I said to un, ''Tis true you knows o' they that's gone, but how can 'ee tell how many's left behind?" Joan shook her head. "They'm all off," she said: "every man of 'em's gone; but, for all that, Adam mustn't come anighst us or show his face in the place.
