I'm new in the sicht o' God an' He's new in mine an' I prayed this mornin', a thing I haena dune for mair than twenty years an' the auld burn was sweet an' clear, like when my laddie's lips sippit there lang syne I daurna speak His name ower often, but God is gey guid to the sinfu' an' the weary." "None but they can know how good," was my response.
Then Laddie spelled "incomprehensibility," and they finished up the "bilities" and the "alities" with a rush and changed McGuffey's for Webster, with five on Laddie's side and three on the Princess', and when they quit with it, the Princess was alone, and Laddie and our little May facing her. From that on you could call it real spelling.
"You children will make Grandpa Ford sleepy with your questions and riddles," observed Mrs. Bunker to Laddie and Violet. "Please be quiet now, and let him rest." "Oh, I don't mind," said the old gentleman. "I love the children, and I like Laddie's riddles and Vi's questions. Only don't ask me such hard ones that I can't answer," he went on.
They were wild and free in their gestures, and held each other by the hand, and swayed from side to side, stamping their feet in time, as they sang Weel may the keel row, the keel row, the keel row, Weel may the keel row that my laddie's in! 'What for are ye going off, now? they called out to our two girls.
The master looked round the school, and there was a flush on his cheek. "John Howieson," with a voice that knew no refusal, and Jock stood in his place. "Give me the laddie's name who savit Nestie." "It was Speug, sir, an' it wes michty; but a' wudna hae telt had ye no askit, an' it's no my blame," and Jock cast a deprecatory glance where Peter was striving to hide himself behind a slate.
It's worth three hundred pounds sterling." "That is more than I want, sir; if you choose to give me the third part of the money, and five links of the chain, it will amply serve my purpose, and the rest will be some slight atonement for the expense and trouble I have put you to." "The laddie's in a creel!" exclaimed his uncle.
But it's a lonely time laddie's poor father will be having, after all his wild wanderings; and it will be hard for him to keep house and home. But the Lord is good. Maybe it was His hand that led Miss Stella here." "Oh, what will we do when she is gone, daddy?" mourned Freddy.
Just as the stars were coming out that night between the clouds that floated over us the Boer boy sobbed his young life out, and all through the long watches of that mournful darkness the father lay with his dead laddie's hand in his. The pain of his own wounds must have been dreadful, but I heard no moan of anguish from his lips.
When I had calmed down so I could, I climbed the fence, and reached through a crack for the pie. As I followed the cool, damp furrow, and Laddie's whistle, clear as the lark's above the wheat, thrilled me, I was almost insane with joy. Just joy! Pure joy! Oh what a good world it was! most of the time! Most of the time! But anyway, THIS couldn't be beaten.
"We're to be off to-morrow," said Brother Bart, a little sadly. "And, though it will be a blessed thing to get back in the holy peace of St. Andrew's, with the boys all safe and sound which is a mercy I couldn't expect, to say nothing of laddie's father being drawn out of his wanderings into the grace of God, I'm sore-hearted at leaving Killykinick.
