'Mamma said I should come because I am just your age, thirteen and a half, she said. 'I'm Mysie, though my proper name is Maria Millicent. Dolores looked her over. She was a good deal taller than herself, and had rich-looking shining brown hair, dark brown eyes full of merriment, and a bright rosy colour, and she danced on her active feet as if she were full of perpetual life.
"And your little lad is my lad fra this hour, dearie!" The dying lips parted, and Mysie knew they had spoken a blessing for her. Nothing was found upon the woman that could identify her, nothing except a cruel letter, which evidently came from the girl's father; but even in this there was neither date nor locality named.
'It's like the halls of Ivor, said Mysie, awestruck by the loneliness; 'no dog, nor horse, nor cow, not even a goose, 'And what a place to sketch! cried Miss Vincent. 'Oh, Gillian, we must come here another day. 'Oh, may we gather the flowers? exclaimed the insatiable Primrose. 'Those poetic narcissuses would be delicious for the choir screen, added Gillian.
But Mysie was now on her guard, and, conscious of the vicinity of the wood-hole, offered such strenuous resistance, that the swain cursed the nymph's bad humour with very unpastoral phrase and emphasis, and ran up stairs to relieve the guard of his comrade.

Draw, sir, and defend yourself, if you are a man! and with these words I leapt at the monster, and collared him, while Nora made the air echo with her screams; at the sound of which the other captain and Mysie hastened up.
And you'll forget and leave off writing, like Maude Sefton. 'Never! cried Mysie. 'Eight across the world you will always be my own twin cousin.

"Couldna he hae slippit it gently into my hand?" said Caleb; "but his honour will never learn how to bear himsell in siccan cases." Mysie, in the mean time, according to a uniform custom in remote places in Scotland, offered the strangers the produce of her little dairy, "while better meat was getting ready."
Between Mysie and Robin, with some of his companions, a paction was made that she should keep her tryst with Swaby, and settle on a time and place for him to come to the delusion of expecting to find Martha Swinton; Robin covenanting that between him and his friends the cavalier should meet with a lemane worthy of his love.
