"It's a woman, anyhow!" retorted Dennis over his shoulder, with a twinkle of his eyelashes that drew from Alister in his broadest accent, "The lad's a pairrfect libberrteen!" an expression which he afterwards retracted and apologized for at considerable length.
In the bosom of young Alister Macruadh, the fatherly relation of the strong to the weak survived the disappearance of most of the outward signs of clan-kindred: the chieftainship was SUBLIMED in him. The more the body of outer fact died, the stronger grew in him the spirit of the relation.
The O'Moores are by no means good letter-writers at the best of times, but he'd have let us know if he was dead, anyhow, and if he's alive, we'll be as welcome as the flowers." Before Alister could reply, he was interrupted by a message from our late captain. The Water-Lily was still in harbour, and the captain wanted the ex-mate to help him on some matters connected with the ship or her cargo.
It was too wide for the ladies, and they stood eyeing it with dismay, fearing an end to their walk and the pleasant companionship. "Do not be frightened, ladies," said Alister: "it is not too wide for you." "You have the advantage of us in your dress!" said Christina. "I will get you over quite safe," returned the chief. Christina looked as if she could not trust herself to him.
I will not trouble my reader with them; I am sure he would not think so well of them as did Alister. What Ian desired was sympathy, not admiration, but from Alister he had both. Few men would care to hear the talk of those two, for they had no interest in anything that did not belong to the reality of things. To them the things most men count real, were the merest phantasms.
Now she was going to wake him, and hold a solemn talk with him. Not a moment longer should he stand leaning over the gulf into which she had herself well nigh fallen! She found him awake, and troubled, though not with an eternal trouble such as hers. "I thought I should find you asleep, Alister!" she said. "It was not very likely, mother!" he answered gently.
"They worship the stag, these peasants, as the old Egyptians the bull!" said Sercombe to himself, walking home full of contempt. Alister went straight to his brother's room, his heart bursting with indignation. It was some time before Ian could get the story from him in plain consecution; every other moment he would diverge into fierce denunciations.
I wouldn't encourage you to waste sentiment anyhow; and the West Indies is no latitude for boys, to go on with. And you know as well as I do, that it's rather more than time the squire started you in life. You must go home, Dennis!" "If I do, I go with Jack. And what about Alister?" The young officer tugged his moustaches right and left. Then he said, "If I were exactly in your place, Auchterlay "
"Ian! if God had not meant her to have the shilling, he would not have let Alister earn it." "Certainly God can take care of her from a shilling!" said Ian, with one of his strangely sweet smiles. "I was only trying Alister, mother." "I confess I did not like the thought of it at first," resumed Mrs.
The brothers looked at each other. They had come out to spend the day together, but they could not leave the ladies to go home alone; having brought them across the burn, they were bound to see them over it again! An imperceptible sign passed between them, and Alister turned to the girls. "Come then," he said, "we will go back!" "But you were not going home yet!" said Mercy.
