Damn that Malison!" and various other subdued exclamations were murmured about the room; for Annie was a favourite with most of the boys, and yet more because she was the General's sweetheart, as they said; but these ebullitions of popular feeling were too faint to reach her ears and comfort her isolation and exposure.
In this she was ably seconded by all her mother's family, whose protégée Miss Malison had long been, and, against his better judgment, Grahame at length consented that Miss Malison should remain in his family till she should get another situation as finishing governess. This, of course, Miss Grahame had determined should not be for some little time. Mrs.
"Pax vobiscum," he cried, in a loud, grating voice, as he saw me, and scrambled out to shore. "Et cum anima tua," I answered. "Nom de Dieu!" he said, "you have bottomed my Latin already, that is scarce so deep as the river here. My malison on them that broke the bridge!" Then he looked me over fiercely.

"I've got a wale or two, that's all," said Alec. "Weel, I houp it'll be a lesson to ye." "To Mr Malison, you should have said, Mr Bruce. I am perfectly satisfied, for my part." His mother was surprised to hear him speak like a grown man, as well as annoyed at his behaviour to Bruce, in whose power she feared they might one day find themselves to their cost.
