No, my dearie! What could we two do for ourselves? And I'm loth to part you and Gavin. I simply cannot take the sacrifice, you so lovingly offer me. I will write to my brother David. Gavin isna far wrong there; David is a very close man, but he willna see his sister suffer, there is no fear of that." "It is Jean that will not see you suffer." "But the bite and the sup, Jean?

If ye're really angrier than I am, I willna revile; leavin' it to ye to do the revilin' wha are so much better qualified.
