'If people would but let children alone, said Elizabeth, as the two little girls departed hand in hand; 'it puts me out of all patience to see her first made silly by being pitied, and then told she is an angel. Too bad and too silly, I declare. 'You should consider a little, my dear, and not speak so hastily, said gentle Mrs. Woodbourne; 'they mean it kindly.
We must now return to Woodbourne, which, it may be remembered, we left just after the Colonel had given some directions to his confidential servant. When he returned, his absence of mind, and an unusual expression of thought and anxiety upon his features, struck the ladies whom he joined in the drawing-room.
Do you know your goods that were seized and carried to Woodbourne are now lying in the custom-house at Portanferry? Now I will commit this younker 'When you have caught him. 'Ay, ay, when I have caught him; I shall not be long about that. I will commit him to the workhouse, or bridewell, which you know is beside the custom-house. 'Yaw, the rasp-house; I know it very well.
'May I request, said Bertram, 'that you will see every decent solemnity attended to in behalf of this poor woman? I have some property belonging to her in my hands; at all events I will be answerable for the expense. You will hear of me at Woodbourne.
I must write to the sheriff of Roxburghshire too, and to an active justice of peace in Cumberland. 'I hope when you come to the country you will make Woodbourne your headquarters? 'Certainly; I was afraid you were going to forbid me. But we must go to breakfast now or I shall be too late.

I understand from those who conduct the heavy baggage that he takes his winter quarters at a place called Woodbourne, in -shire in Scotland. He will be all on the alert just now, so I must let him enter his entrenchments without any new alarm. And then, my good Colonel, to whom I owe so many grateful thanks, pray look to your defence.
Harriet had laughed at Lucy for not being able to give any reasons, told her that it was plain that Helen knew nothing about the matter, and declared that she thanked goodness that if Mr. Woodbourne was ever so angry, he was not her master, and her own mamma never minded what she did.
The poor Dominie's brain was almost turned with joy on returning to his old habitation. He posted upstairs, taking three steps at once, to a little shabby attic, his cell and dormitory in former days, and which the possession of his much superior apartment at Woodbourne had never banished from his memory.
'We shall prove, said the Counsellor, aside to Mannering, 'that these shoes, which were found in the ruins at Derncleugh, belonged to Brown, the fellow whom you shot on the lawn at Woodbourne. Now, Soles, measure that prisoner's feet very accurately. Mannering observed Hatteraick strictly, and could notice a visible tremor. 'Do these measurements correspond with any of the footprints?
