Evans was not come home, he was absent more than ten days, and Miss Grizzy would not let nurse see him. In grief and anger the old woman went home, and took to her bed almost as ill as poor Bernard.
O the villain! Aweel, sir, when he gaed away in the morning he paid his bill very honestly, and gae something to the chambermaid nae doubt; for Grizzy has naething frae me, by twa pair o' new shoo ilka year, and maybe a bit compliment at Hansel Monanday Here Glossin found it necessary to interfere and bring the good woman back to the point.
"About the time when Bernard was turned from nurse's door, the dinner-bell at his papa's house was ringing, and Miss Evans waiting at the head of the table ready to carve. "Before the bell had done tinkling, Stephen and Meekin came in, and Miss Grizzy said: "'Where is Low? I suppose he does not expect us to wait for him. "Stephen looked at Meekin, and Meekin looked at Stephen.
"'And Master Low, added Mr. Evans, 'you are, on honour, not to go into the garden. "'Master Low! repeated Miss Grizzy; 'Master Low not to go into his papa's garden? "Mr.
He had been well enough to go down the Monday before, but Miss Grizzy had fixed on Sunday for the day; perhaps because her brother, who had two churches to serve, would not be at dinner.
