 CHAPTER I. 
 
 " Where is Kirsteen ? " 
 
 " Deed, mem, I canna tell you ; and if you 
 would be guided by me you wouldna wail 
 and cry for Kirsteen, night and day. You're 
 getting into real ill habits with her to do 
 everything for you. And the poor lassie has 
 not a meenit to hersel'. She's on the run 
 from morning to night. Bring me this, and 
 get me that. I ken you're very weakly and 
 life's a great trouble, but I would fain have 
 ye take a little thought for her too." 
 
 Mrs. Douglas looked as if she might cry 
 under Marg'ret's reproof. She was a pale 
 
 B 2
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 pink woman seated in a large high easy-chair, 
 so-called, something like a porter's chair. It 
 was not particularly easy, but It was filled 
 with pillows, and was the best that the locality 
 and the time could supply. Her voice had a 
 sound of tears In It as she replied : 
 
 *' If you were as weak as I am, Marg'ret, 
 and pains from head to foot, you would know 
 better — and not grudge me the only comfort 
 I have." 
 
 *' Me grudge ye ainything ! no for the 
 world ; except just that bairn's time and a 
 her life that might be at Its brightest ; but 
 poor thing, poor thing ! " said Marg'ret, 
 shaking her head. 
 
 The scene was the parlour at Drumcarro, 
 in the wilds of Argyllshire, the speakers, the 
 mistress of the house de jure, and she who was 
 at the head of affairs de facto, Marg'ret the 
 housekeeper, cook, lady's maid, and general 
 manager of everything. Mrs. Douglas had 
 brought Marg'ret with her as her maid when 
 she came to Drumcarro as a bride some thirty 
 years before ; but as she went on having child
 
 KIRSTEEN. 
 
 after child for nearly twenty years, without 
 much stamina of either mind or body to 
 support that continual strain, Marg'ret had 
 gradually become more and more the deputy 
 and representative, the real substitute of the 
 feminine head of the house. Not much was 
 demanded of that functionary so far as the 
 management of its wider affairs went. Her 
 husband was an arbitrary and high-tempered 
 man, whose will was absolute in the family, 
 who took counsel with no one, and who after 
 the few complaisances of a grim honeymoon 
 let his wife drop into the harmless position 
 of a nonentity, which indeed was that which 
 was best fitted for her. All her active duties 
 one by one had fallen into the hands of 
 Marg'ret, whose first tender impulse to save 
 the mistress whom she loved from toils un- 
 fitted for her, had gradually developed into 
 the self-confidence and universal assumption 
 of an able and energetic housekeeper born to 
 organize and administer. Marg'ret did not 
 know what these fine words meant, but she 
 knew " her work," as she would have said.
 
 KIRSTEEX. CHAP. 
 
 and by degrees had taken everything in the 
 house and manv thino^s outside it into her 
 hands. It was to her that the family went 
 for everN-thing, who was the giver of all in- 
 dulgences, the only person who dared speak 
 to '' the maister," when clothes were wanted 
 or any new thing. She was an excellent 
 cook, a good manager, combining all the 
 qualities that make a house comfortable, and 
 she was the only one in the house who was 
 not afraid of "the maister,' of whom on the 
 contrary he stood in a Httle awe. A wife 
 cannot throw up her situation with the 
 certaint}- of finding another at a moment's 
 notice as a good housekeeper can do — even 
 if she has spirit enough to entertain such an 
 idea. And poor Mrs. Douglas had no spirit, 
 no health, little brains to begin with and 
 none left now, after thirty years of domestic 
 tyranny and "a baimtime " of fourteen 
 children. What could such a poor soul do 
 but fall into invalidism with so many excellent 
 reasons constantly recurring for adopting the 
 habits of that state and its pathos and help-
 
 KIRSTEEN. 
 
 lessness ? especially with Marg'ret to fall 
 back upon, who, though she would sometimes 
 speak her mind to her mistress, nursed and 
 tended, watched over and guarded her with 
 the most unfailing care. Drumcarro himself 
 (as he liked to be called) scarcely dared to be 
 very uncivil to his wife in Marg'ret's presence. 
 He knew better than to quarrel with the 
 woman who kept so much comfort with so 
 little expense in his spare yet crowded 
 house. 
 
 " Who is your ' poor thing, poor thing ' ? " 
 said a cheerful voice, with a mimicry of 
 iVIarg'ret's manner and her accent (for 
 IMarg'ret said poor as if it were written with 
 a French u, that sound so difficult to English 
 lips) ** would it be the colley dogue or the 
 canary bird or maybe the mistress of the 
 house ? " 
 
 Marg'ret turned round upon the only an- 
 tagonist in the house who could hold head 
 against her, or whom she could not crush 
 at a blow — Kirsteen, the second daughter, 
 who came in at this moment, quite sofdy but
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 with a sudden burst open of the door, a sort of 
 compromise between the noise it would have 
 been natural to her to make, and the quiet- 
 ness essential to the invalid's comfort. She 
 was a girl of nearly twenty, a daughter of the 
 hills, strongly built, not slim but trim, with 
 red hair and brown eyes and a wonderful 
 complexion, the pure whiteness like milk 
 which so often goes with those ruddy locks, 
 and the colour of health and fine air on 
 her cheeks. I would have darkened and 
 smoothed my Kirsteen's abundant hair if I 
 could, for in those days nobody admired it. 
 The type of beauty to which the palm was 
 given was the pale and elegant type, with 
 hair like night and starry eyes either blue or 
 dark ; and accordingly Kirsteen was not con- 
 sidered a pretty girl, though there were 
 many who liked her looks in spite of her red 
 hair, which was how people expressed their 
 opinion then. It was so abundant and so 
 vigorous and full of curl that it cost her all 
 the trouble in the world to keep it moderately 
 tidy, whereas "smooth as satin" was the
 
 KIRSTEEN. 
 
 required perfection of ladies' locks. Her 
 eyes were brown, not nearly dark enough for 
 the requirements of the time, a kind of hazel 
 indeed, sometimes so full of light that they 
 dazzled the spectator and looked like gold — 
 also quite out of accordance with the canons 
 of the day. She was slightly freckled : she 
 was, as I have said, strongly built ; and in 
 the dress of the time, a very short bodice and 
 a very straight and scanty skirt, her pro- 
 portions were scarcely elegant, but her waist 
 was round if not very small, and her 
 arms, in their short sleeves, shapely and 
 well formed, and whiter than might have 
 been expected from their constant exposure 
 to air and sun, for Kirsteen only put on 
 her gloves on serious occasions. The air 
 of health and brightness and vigour about 
 her altogether, made her appearance like 
 that of a burst of sunshine into this very 
 shady place. 
 
 "'Deed," said Marg'ret, putting her hands 
 on each side of her own substantial waist in 
 a way which has always been supposed to
 
 10 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 imply a certain defiance, "it was just you 
 yoursel'." 
 
 ''Me!" the girl cried with a sort of sup- 
 pressed shout. She cast a laughing glance 
 round with an apparent attempt to discover 
 some cause for the pity. ''What have I 
 done wrong now ? " Then her eyes came 
 back to the troubled almost whimpering pa- 
 thos of her mother's looks, and a cloud came 
 over her bright countenance. " What has 
 she been saying, mother, about me ? " 
 
 " She says I'm crying on you for something 
 day and night, and that you never have a 
 minute to yourself; and oh, Kirsteen, my 
 dear, I fear it's true." 
 
 Kirsteen put her arms akimbo too, and 
 confronted Marg'ret with laughing defiance. 
 They were not unlike each other, both of 
 them types of powerful and capable woman- 
 hood, the elder purely and strongly practical, 
 the other touched with fancy and poetry and 
 perhaps some of the instincts of gentle blood, 
 though neither in father nor mother w^ere 
 there many graces to inherit. " You are just
 
 KIRSTEEN. 1 1 
 
 a leein woman," said the girl with a flash of 
 her bright eyes. '' Why, it's my Hfe ! What 
 would I do without my Minnie ? — as the song 
 says." And she began to sing in a fresh, 
 sweet, but uncultivated voice : 
 
 " He turned him right and round about, 
 Said, Scorn not at my mither. 
 True loves I may get mony an ane 
 But Minnie ne'er anither." 
 
 Before Kirsteen's song came to an end, 
 however, her eyes suddenly filled w^ith tears. 
 " What were you w^anting, mother," she said 
 hastily as she dropped the tune which was a 
 very simple one, " to make her speak ? " 
 
 "Oh, I w^as wanting nothing, nothing in 
 particular. I was wanting my pillows shifted 
 a little, and the big plaiden shawl for my 
 knees, and one of my wires that fell out of 
 my reach, and my other clew for I'm nearly 
 at the end of this one. Ay ! that's better ; 
 there is nobody that knows how to make me 
 comfortable but you." 
 
 For Kirsteen in the meantime had begun 
 to do, with swift and noiseless care, all that
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 was wanted, finding the clew, or ball of 
 worsted for the stocking her mother was 
 knitting, as she swept softly past to get the 
 big shawl, on her way to the side of the chair 
 where she arranged the pillows with deft ac- 
 customed skill. It did not take a minute to 
 supply all these simple requirements. Mar- 
 g'ret looked on, without moving while all was 
 done, and caught the look half-soothed, half- 
 peevish, which the invalid cast round to see if 
 there was not something else that she wanted. 
 ** You may put down that book off the mantel- 
 piece that Robbie left there," Mrs. Douglas 
 said, finding nothing else to suggest ; " it will 
 curl up at the corners, and your father will be 
 ill-pleased — " 
 
 **Weel," said Marg'ret, ''now ye've got 
 your slave, I'm thinking ye've nae mair need 
 of me, and there's the grand supper to think 
 of, that the maister's aye sae keen about. 
 When will ye have markit a' thae things, 
 Miss Kirsteen ? For I maun see to the laddie's 
 packing before it's ower late." 
 
 '' There's the last half dozen of handker-
 
 KIRSTEEN. 13 
 
 chiefs to do ; but I'll not take long, and they're 
 small things that can go into any corner. I'll 
 do them now," said Kirsteen with a little 
 sigh. 
 
 "There's nae hurry;" Marg'ret paused a 
 little, then caught the girl by the sleeve, "just 
 take another turn in the bonnie afternoon 
 before the sun's down," she said in a low tone, 
 " there's plenty of time. Run away, my 
 bonnie lamb. I'll see the mistress wants 
 naething." 
 
 "And you that have the supper and the 
 packing and all on your hands! No, no. I'll 
 do them now. You may go to 3^our work," 
 said Kirsteen with a look half tender, half 
 peremptory. She carried her work to the 
 window and sat down there with the white 
 handkerchiefs in her hand. 
 
 *' And what colour will you mark them in, 
 Kirsteen ? You have neither cotton nor silk 
 to do it." 
 
 Kirsteen raised her head and pulled out a 
 long thread of her red hair. " I am going to 
 do it in this colour," she said with a slight
 
 14 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 blush and smile. It was not an unusual little 
 piece of sentiment in those days and the 
 mother accepted it calmly. 
 
 ** My colour of hair," she said, smoothing 
 with a little complaisance her scanty dark 
 locks under her cap, ''was more fit for that 
 than yours, Kirsteen, but Robbie will like to 
 have it all the same." 
 
 Kirsteen laughed a little consciously while 
 she proceeded with her work. She was quite 
 willing to allow that a thread of her mother's 
 dark hair would be better. '' I will do one 
 with yours for Robbie," she said, ''and the 
 rest with mine." 
 
 " But they're all for Robbie," said the 
 mother. 
 
 " Yes, yes," Kirsteen replied with again 
 that conscious look, the colour mantling to her 
 cheeks, a soft moisture filling her eyes. The 
 handkerchief was marked in fine delicate 
 little cross stitches upon the white cambric, 
 and though Mrs. Douglas's dark hair was like 
 a spider's web, the red of Kirsteen's shone 
 upon the fine fabric like a thread of gold.
 
 KIRSTEEN.

 The handkerchiefs were not yet finished 
 when two young men came into the room, 
 one so Hke Kirsteen that there was no diffi- 
 culty in identifying him as her brother, the 
 other a swarthy youth a Httle older, tall and 
 strong and well knit. Robbie was on the eve 
 of his start in life, leaving home, and Ronald 
 Drummond, who was the son of a gentleman 
 in the neighbourhood, was going with him. 
 They were both bound with commissions in 
 the Company's service for India, where half 
 of the long-legged youths, sons of little 
 Highland lairds and Lowland gentlemen, 
 with good blood and plenty of pride and no 
 money, the Quentin Durwards of the early 
 nineteenth century, found an appropriate 
 career. The period was that of the brief 
 peace which lasted only so long as Napoleon 
 was at Elba, long enough, however, to 
 satisfy the young men that there was to be 
 no chance of renewed fighting nearer home 
 and to make them content with their des- 
 tination. They had been bred for this 
 destination from their cradles, and Robbie
 
 1 6 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 Douglas at least was not sorry to escape from 
 the dullness of Drumcarro to a larger life. 
 Several of his brothers were already In India, 
 and the younger ones looked to no other fate 
 but that of following. As for the girls they 
 did not count for much. He was sorry to say 
 good-bye to Kirsteen, but that did not weigh 
 down his heart. He was in high excitement, 
 eager about his new outfit, his uniform, all 
 the novel possessions which were doubly en- 
 chanting to a boy who had never before 
 possessed anything of his own. He was 
 eighteen, and to become all at once a man, 
 an officer, an independent individuality, was 
 enough to turn the head of any youth. 
 
 Ronald Drummond was different. He was 
 going from a much more genial home : he had 
 already tasted the sweets of independence, 
 having served in the last campaign in the 
 Peninsula and been wounded, which was a 
 thing that raised him still higher in the scale 
 of life than the three years' advantage in re- 
 spect of age which he had over his young 
 comrade. He was neither so cheerful nor so
 
 KIRSTEEN. 17 
 
 much excited as Robbie. He came and stood 
 over Kirsteen as she drew closer and closer 
 to the window to end her work before the 
 light had gone. 
 
 '' You are working it with your hair ! " he 
 said, suddenly, perceiving the nature of the 
 long curling thread with which she threaded 
 her needle. 
 
 " Yes," she said, demurely, holding up her 
 work to the light. ''What did you think 
 it was ? " 
 
 " I thought It was gold thread," he said. 
 And then he took up one of the handkerchiefs 
 already completed from the table. '' R. D.," 
 he said. '' That's my name too." 
 
 *'So it Is," said Kirsteen, as if she had 
 now discovered the fact for the first time. 
 
 '' Nobody will do anything like that for 
 me," he added, pathetically. 
 
 ''Oh, Ronald! If not the hairs of their 
 heads but the heads themselves would do ye 
 good ye should have them — and that ye 
 know." 
 
 VOL. I. c
 
 i8 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 " It is very true," said Ronald, *' and thank 
 you, Kirsteen, for reminding me how good 
 they are ; but," he added, after a moment, in 
 a low voice, '' they are not you!^ 
 
 She gave vent to a very feeble laugh which 
 was full of emotion. " No, they could not 
 be that," she said. 
 
 " And R. D. Is my name too," said the 
 young man. " Kirsteen ! " She looked up 
 at him for a moment in the light that was 
 fading slowly out of the skies. He had taken 
 one of the handkerchiefs from the pile, and 
 touching her sleeve with one hand to call her 
 attention, put the little glistening letters to 
 his lips and then placed the handkerchief 
 carefully in the breast pocket of his coat. 
 Standing as he did, shutting out, as she com- 
 plained, all the light from Mrs. Douglas, this 
 little action was quite unseen, except by the 
 one person who was Intended to see it. 
 Kirsteen could make no reply nor objection, 
 for her heart was too full for speech. Her 
 trembling hand, arrested In its work, dropped
 
 KIRSTEEN. 19 
 
 into his for a moment. He whispered some- 
 thinof else, she scarcely knew what — and then 
 Marg'ret marched Into the room with the two 
 candles which were all the lights ever used 
 in Drumcarro parlour, and all was over 
 and done.

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 There was " a grand supper," as Marg'ret 
 -had announced, at Drumcarro this evening, for 
 which, though it was almost entirely a family 
 party, solemn preparations were being made. 
 The house was full of an unusual odour of good 
 cheer, unusual goings and comings through the 
 house betrayed the excitement and sense of a 
 great event approaching which was diffused 
 through the family. On ordinary occasions 
 the family dinner took place between two and 
 three o'clock in the afternoon, followed by tea 
 at seven with much wealth of scones and jam, 
 new-laid eggs and other home produce — and 
 the day ended for the elders by the production 
 of " the tray " with its case of spirit-bottles and 
 accompanying hot water. Now and then by
 
 CHAP. II. KIRSTEEN. 21 
 
 times, however, this great ceremonial of a 
 supper took place, always on the eve of the 
 departure of one of the boys to make their 
 fortune in the world. These occasions were 
 consequently not surrounded by the brightest 
 recollections to the grown-up portion of the 
 family, or to their mother. The supper indeed 
 to her was a feast of tears, probably as great, 
 though a more usual indulgence than the 
 other characteristics of the festival. It was 
 rarely that Mrs. Douglas ventured to weep in 
 presence of her lord, but on that night he said 
 nothing, made no comment upon her red eyes, 
 and suffered the whimper in her voice without 
 any harsh, " Hold your tongue, woman ! " such 
 as usually subdued her. And it was recognized 
 in the house that it was the mother's role and 
 privilege on these occasions to cry. The 
 children were not disturbed by it as they 
 might have been by tears which they were 
 less accustomed to see shed. 
 
 The dining-room was the best room in 
 Drumcarro, as in many Scotch houses of the 
 kind, being recognized as the real centre of
 
 22 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 life, the special room of " the maister " and the 
 scene of all the greater events In the family. 
 There were two windows In It which at a time ' 
 when the existence of the window-tax curtailed 
 the light, was of Itself a fine feature, and It 
 was well-sized and not badly furnished, with a 
 multitude of substantial mahogany chairs, side- 
 board, cellaret, and a long dining table of very 
 dark mahogany, shining like a black mirror, 
 which was capable of being drawn out to 
 almost any length, and which had attained the 
 very highest polish of which wood was capable. 
 Covered with a dazzling white cloth, lighted 
 with four candles, a most unusual splendour — 
 set In the silver candlesticks, which were the 
 pride of the family — and surrounded by all the 
 Douglases who still remained at home. It was 
 an Imposing sight. Flowers had not yet been 
 thought of as decorations of a table ; such 
 frivolities were far In the depths of time. A 
 large square dish set In a high stand of 
 plated silver with straggling branches ex- 
 tending from It on every side, each of which 
 contained a smaller dish full of confectionery,
 
 KIRSTEEN. 
 
 pieces of coloured " rock " from Edinburgh, 
 and sweeties procured from " the merchant's " 
 for the occasion, occupied the centre of the 
 table. It was called the ^pergne and was con- 
 sidered very splendid. The central dish was 
 piled high with ruddy apples, which gave an 
 agreeable piece of colour, If any one had 
 thought of such fantastic folly. The four 
 candlesticks, each with a pair of snuffers In 
 its tray placed between them, completed the 
 decorative portion of the table. The candles 
 were not the delicate articles which ad- 
 vancing civilization has learned how to 
 produce, but smoky "moulds" which tinged 
 the atmosphere with a perceptible emanation, 
 especially when they stood in need of snuffing. 
 They threw a ruddy light upon the faces closely 
 assembled round the board, bringing out most 
 fully those of the more youthful members of 
 the family, and fading dismally towards the 
 ends of the long table at which the principal 
 personages were placed. There were but two 
 visitors of the party, one the minister. In- 
 vited in right of having more or less super-
 
 24 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 intended Robbie's studies, such as they were, 
 and seated on Mrs. Douglas's right hand ; the 
 other an old Miss Douglas known as Aunt 
 Eelen, from whom there were certain expec- 
 tations and who occupied a similar place of 
 honour by the side of Drumcarro. The hero 
 of the evening was at his father's left hand. 
 The rest of the party were Mary the eldest 
 daughter, Jeanie the youngest, Kirsteen, and 
 two boys aged fourteen and twelve respec- 
 tively, the remaining sons of the house. 
 The fare was excellent, and in another region 
 might have been thought luxurious ; but it 
 was impossible to conceal that the large dish 
 of delicious trout which stood smoking before 
 Mrs. Douglas, and the corresponding hecatomb 
 of grouse to which her husband helped the 
 company after the trout had been disposed of, 
 came from the loch and the moor on Drum- 
 carro estate, and therefore were as much home 
 produce as the eggs and the cream. This fact 
 elicited a somewhat sharp criticism from Miss 
 Eelen at the foot of the table. 
 
 " The grouse is no doubt very good," she
 
 II. KIRSTEEN. 25 
 
 said, "and being to the manner born as ye 
 may say, I never tire of it ; but for a genteel 
 supper like what you have always given to 
 the lads — " 
 
 "Faith," said the laird, ''they'll find it 
 most genteel where they're going. The 
 Englishmen will think it the finest table in 
 the world when they hear we have grouse 
 every day ; and Robbie's no bound to con- 
 descend upon the number of other dishes. I 
 know what I am doing." 
 
 " No doubt, no doubt : I was only making 
 a remark. Now I think a bit of cod from the 
 sea or a made dish of fine collops, or just a 
 something tossed up with a bit of veal, they're 
 more genteel — and I know that's what you're 
 always thinking of, Neil — of course, for the 
 boys' sakes — " 
 
 " There's a made dish coming, mem," said 
 Merran, who was waiting. 
 
 " Oh, there's a made dish coming ! I 
 thought Marg'ret would mind what was for 
 the credit of the house. Robbie, my man, ye 
 ought to feel yourself a great personage with
 
 26 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 all the phrase that's made for you. When 
 Sandy went away, who was the first, there 
 was nothing but a haggis — but we've learned 
 many things since then." 
 
 " A haggis Is a very good thing, It's fit 
 for a king's table." 
 
 " But not what you would call refined, 
 nor genteel. Give me the leg and a piece of 
 the back — there's more taste In It. I hope 
 you will always be grateful to your father 
 for giving ye such a grand set out." 
 
 '' I think," said the minister at the other 
 end, " that you and Drumcarro, mem, give 
 yourselves more and more trouble every 
 son that leaves ye. This Is the fifth I have 
 seen." 
 
 " Oh, don't say me, Mr. Pyper," said the 
 mother. " I know just nothing about It — 
 when your son's going away, and ye think 
 ye may never set eyes on him again, who's 
 to think of eating and drinking ? He may 
 do It, but not me." 
 
 " That's very true," said Mr. Pyper. " Still, 
 to give the lad a something pleasurable to
 
 II. KIRSTEEN. 27 
 
 look back upon, a last feast, so to speak, has 
 many points in its favour. A lad's mind is 
 full of materialism, as you may call it, and 
 he will mind all the faces round the friendly 
 board." 
 
 " It's not very friendly to me, ' said the 
 mother, with a sob, " my four bonny boys 
 all away, and now Robbie. It just breaks 
 my heart." 
 
 " But what would you do with them 
 mem, if they were here ? " said the sensible 
 minister ; " four big men, for they're all men 
 by this time, about the house ? No, no, my 
 dear leddy, you must not complain. Such 
 fine openings for them all ! and every one 
 getting on." 
 
 "But what does that matter to me, Mr. 
 Pyper, If I am never to see one of them 
 again ? " 
 
 *' Oh, yes, mem, it matters — oh, ay, it mat- 
 ters much. The young of no species, much 
 less the human, can bide at home. Fathers 
 and mothers in the lower creation just throw 
 them off, and there's an end. But you do
 
 28 KIRSTEEN.

 more than that. You put them in the best 
 way of doing for themselves, and the King 
 himself cannot do better. Alas!" said the 
 minister, " no half so well, decent man — for 
 look at all these young princes, one wilder 
 than the other. And every one of yours 
 doing so well." 
 
 '' Oh, yes, they're doing well enough — 
 but such a long way away. And me so 
 delicate. And Robbie never quite strong 
 since he had the measles. It's borne in 
 upon me that I will never see him again." 
 
 " You need not say it, mother," said Kir- 
 steen, "for that's what nobody can know; 
 and it's just as likely he may be sent home 
 with despatches, or some great grandee take 
 a fancy to him and bring him back. And 
 when we're sitting some day working our 
 stockings he'll come linking in by the 
 parlour door." 
 
 '' Oh, you're just as light as air," said the 
 mother ; *' there's nothing serious in ye. You 
 think going to India is just like going to 
 the fair."
 
 KIRSTEEN. 29 
 
 Kirsteen darted a quick glance at her 
 mother, but said no more. Her eyes kept 
 filHng much against her will. She was in 
 great terror lest a big drop might brim over 
 and run down her cheek, to be spied at once 
 by Jeanie or the boys. For nothing would 
 be hid from these little things : they could 
 note at the same moment the last bit of a 
 bird which they had all counted on, being 
 transferred to Aunt Helen's plate, and keep 
 an eye upon the favourite apple each had 
 chosen, and spy that suspicious brightness in 
 Kirsteen's eyes. Nothing could be hid from 
 their sharp, little, all-inspecting looks. 
 
 There was a breathless moment when the 
 cloth was drawn, and the black gleam of the 
 mahogany underneath changed in a moment 
 the lights of the picture, and gave the children 
 a delightful opportunity of surveying them- 
 selves in that shining surface. It was a 
 moment full of solemnity. Everybody knew 
 what was coming. The port and sherry, with 
 their little labels, In the silver holders In- 
 tended to prevent the bottles from scratching
 
 30 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 the table, were placed before Mr. Douglas. 
 Then there was also placed before him a 
 trayful of tall glasses. He rose up : the eyes 
 of all followed his movements : Jock and 
 Jamie projecting their red heads forward in 
 the smoky glow of the candles, then much in 
 want of snuffing : Jeanie's paler locks turned 
 the same way. Mary, who had her mother's 
 brown smooth hair, rested her clasped hands 
 upon the edge of the table with calm ex- 
 pectation. Kirsteen leant her elbows on 
 the same shining edge, and put down her 
 face in her hands. Miss Eelen shook her 
 head, and kept on shaking it like a china 
 mandarin. The laird of Drumcarro went to 
 an old-fashioned wine-cooler, which stood 
 under the sideboard. He took from it one 
 bottle of champagne, which occupied it in 
 solitary dignity. Marg'ret stood ready with 
 a knife in her hand to cut the wire, and a 
 napkin over her arm to wipe up anything 
 that might be spilt. Not a word was said at 
 table while these preliminaries were gone 
 through. Aunt Eelen, as the catastrophe
 
 II. KIRSTEEX. 31 
 
 lingered, went so far as to make a suppressed 
 Tchish ! Tchish ! of her tongue against her 
 palate. The rest were full of serious ex- 
 citement too important for speech. The 
 bottle was opened finally without spilling a 
 drop : it was perhaps not so much '' up " as it 
 might have been. Drumcarro filled all the 
 glasses, one for each person at table, and 
 another for ]\Iarg'ret. There was perhaps 
 more foam than wine in a number of the 
 glasses. He held up his own in his hand. 
 " It's Robbie's last night at Drumcarro," he 
 said, '' for the present. Have you all your 
 glasses ? Before the '^zz is out of the wine 
 drink to Robbie's good health, and good luck 
 to him, and to all our lads that have gone 
 before." He touched the foam in his glass, 
 now fast dying away, with his lips. '*' May 
 they all come back with stars on their 
 breasts," he said, *'and do credit to their 
 name — and not a laggard, nor a coward, 
 nor one unworthy to be a Douglas among 
 them all ! " 
 
 The other male members of the party were
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 standing up also, " Here's to you, Robbie ! 
 Here's to you, Robbie ! " cried the two boys. 
 The foam in their glasses merely moistened 
 their throats ; the minister, however, whose 
 glass had been full, gravely swallowed its 
 contents in little sips, with pauses between. 
 "A very good health to them all, and the 
 Lord bless them," he said with imposing 
 authority. Mrs. Douglas, taking advantage 
 of the privilege awarded to her, began to 
 cry, and Marg'ret lifted up a strong voice, 
 from the foot of the table where she stood 
 with her hand upon the shoulder of the 
 hero. 
 
 *' Be a good lad, Robbie — and mind upon 
 your Minnie and a' the family — and be a 
 credit to us a' : here's to you, and to the rest 
 o' the young gentlemen, them that's gone, 
 and them that are to 2:0 ! " 
 
 ''Ye'll have to Q^et a new bottle for the 
 little one," said Aunt Eelen, " Neil, my 
 man, for your half-dozen will be out with 
 Jock." She gave a harsh laugh at her own 
 joke. ''And then there's the lasses' mar-
 
 KIRSTEEN. S3 
 
 riages to be thought upon," she added, set- 
 ting down her glass. 
 
 Drumcarro resumed his seat, the ceremonial 
 being over. '' Let the lasses' marriages 
 alone," he said impatiently. " I've enough 
 to think upon with my lads. Now, Rob, are 
 you sure you're all ready ? Your things 
 packed and all your odds and ends put up ? 
 The less of them you take the better. Long 
 before you've got the length of Calcutta ye'U 
 be wishing you had left the half of your 
 portmanteaux at home." 
 
 " I've just two, father." 
 
 ''Well, ye'll be wishing ye had but one. 
 Bring ben the hot water, Marg'ret ; for 
 wine's but a feeble drink, and cold on the 
 stomach. My wife never moves at the right 
 time — will I give her a hint that you're 
 waiting, Eelen ? " 
 
 '' Not on my account, Drumcarro. Your 
 champagne's no doubt a grand drink ; but a 
 glass out of your tumbler, if you're going to 
 make one, is more wholesome and will set 
 all right." 
 
 VOL. I. D
 
 34 KIRSTERN. chap. 
 
 " I thought ye would say that," said the 
 laird. She had said It already on every such 
 occasion — so that perhaps his divination was 
 not wonderful. He proceeded with care to 
 the manufacture of " the tumbler," at which 
 the minister looked from the other end of the 
 table with patient Interest, abiding his time. 
 
 " Snuff the candles," said the laird, " will 
 nobody pay a little attention ? You three 
 little ones, you can run away with your apples, 
 it's near your bed-time ; but don't make more 
 noise than you can help. Marg'ret, take the 
 hot water to the minister. Champagne, as 
 ye were saying, Eelen, is a grand drink ; 
 I think It right my sons should drink it at 
 their father's table before they plunge into 
 the extravagance of a mess. It teaches a 
 lad what he's likely to meet with, and I would 
 not have one of mine surprised with any 
 dainty, as if he had come out of a poor house. 
 But a wholesome glass like what I'm helping 
 you to Is worth twenty of it." He was 
 filling a wine-glass with his small silver toddy- 
 ladle as he spoke, and the fumes of the
 
 n. KIRSTEEN. 
 
 35 
 
 pungent liquid rose In curls of steam pleasant 
 to the accustomed nostrils. Robbie kept an 
 eye upon the hot water which Mr. Pyper 
 detained, knowing that one of the privileges 
 of his position to-night was " to make a 
 tumbler " for himself, with the privilege of 
 offering it then to his sisters, as each of 
 his brothers had done. 
 
 " Can I assist you to a glass, mem ? just 
 a drop. It will do ye good," the minister 
 said. 
 
 " Nothing will do me good," said Mrs. 
 Douglas. " I'm far past that ; but I'll take 
 a little for civility, not to refuse a friend ; 
 whether it's toddy or whether it's wine it's 
 all sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal to 
 me. A woman when her bairns go from her 
 is little comforted by the like of that." 
 
 '' And yet the creature comforts have their 
 place, a homely one but still a true one," 
 said the minister. " There's a time to feast 
 as well as a time to refrain from feasting. 
 Miss Mary, may I have the pleasure of 
 
 assisting you ? 
 
 D 2

 " I'll take a little from Robbie," said the 
 elder daughter, wisely instructed that it was 
 well thus to diminish the unwonted tumbler 
 allowed to the novice. Kirsteen rose quickly 
 to her feet as these Interchanges went 
 round. 
 
 " Mother, I think if ye'U let me, I'll 
 just give an eye to what the little ones are 
 doing," she said, "and see that Robbie's 
 things are all ready. One of the boxes is 
 open still and there are these handkerchiefs." 
 Kirsteen's eyes were brimming over, and 
 as she spoke a large drop fell upon her 
 hand : she looked at It with alarm, saying, 
 *' I did not mean to be so silly," and hastened 
 away. 
 
 " Where is Kirsteen away to ? Can she 
 not take her share of what is going like the 
 rest ? " said her father. " You breed these 
 lasses to your own whimsies, Mistress Douglas. 
 The bairns are well out of the road ; but 
 them that are grown up should bide where 
 they are, and not disturb the family. I 
 have no patience with them."
 
 II. KIRSTEEN. 
 
 " I'm here, father," said Mary in her mild 
 voice. 
 
 " Oh, ay, you're there," said the incon- 
 sistent head of the house, " for you're just 
 nobody, and never had two ideas in your 
 head," he continued in a lower tone. " Now, 
 Robbie, my m.an, take your glass, there is no 
 saying when you will get another. It's just 
 second nature to a Scotsman, but it's as 
 well for you to be out of the way of it ; 
 for though it's the most wholesome drink, 
 it's very seductive and you're much better 
 without it at your age. It's like the strange 
 woman that you're warned against in 
 Scripture." 
 
 " Drumcarro ! " said Aunt Helen. " Oh 
 fie ! before ladies." 
 
 " Ladies or no ladies I cannot let the 
 occasion pass without a word of warning," 
 said the father. " Ye will have every tempta- 
 tion put before ye, my lad ; not drink perhaps, 
 for the climate will not stand it, but other 
 things, that are worse." 
 
 '•' I'm thinkinor, Christina," said the old
 
 38 KIRSTEEN. chap. ii. 
 
 lady, " that now your goodman has begun his 
 moraHtles it may be as well for us to go, 
 for you know where that begins and you 
 never can tell where it may end ; a man 
 has cognizance of many things that cannot 
 enter into the experience of you and me. 
 Mind you what your father says, Robbie, 
 but it's not intended for your mother and 
 me."
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 KiRSTEEN hurried out of the room, out 
 of the fumes of the toddy and the atmosphere 
 of the half-festive, half-doleful occasion which 
 made a not altogether unpleasant excitement 
 in the monotony of the home life. She gazed 
 in at the open door of the parlour, and saw 
 the three younger children gathered in the 
 firelight upon the hearthrug munching their 
 apples, and the sweets with which they had 
 been allowed to fill their pockets. The fire- 
 light made still more ruddy the red heads 
 and freckled faces of the boys, and lit up 
 Jeanie, who sat on a footstool a little higher 
 than her brothers, in her more delicate 
 tints. Kirsteen was much attached to her 
 younger sister, who promised to be the beauty
 
 40 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 of the family, and thought her hke an angel, 
 especially as seen through the dew of her 
 wet eyes. " Dinna make a noise," she said ; 
 " be awfu' quiet or you'll be sent to your 
 beds ; " and then closed the door softly and 
 stole through the dark passage towards the 
 principal entrance. There was no light save 
 a ruddy gleam from the kitchen in the depths 
 of that dark passage which traversed the 
 whole breadth of the house, and that which 
 shone through the crevices of the dining- 
 room door. She had to find her way groping, 
 but she was very well used to this exercise, 
 and knew exactly where the hall-table and 
 the heavy wooden chairs on each side stood. 
 The outer door stood half open according to 
 the habit of the country where there were 
 no burglars to fear, and little to tempt them, 
 and a perfect capacity of self-defence inside. 
 There was a full moon that night, but it had 
 not yet risen, though the sky was full of a 
 misty light which preceded that event. A 
 faint shadow of the group of trees outside was 
 thrown upon the doorway ; they were birches
 
 III. KIRSTEEN. 41 
 
 slender and graceful, with their leaves half 
 blown away by the October gales ; those that 
 remained were yellow with the first touches 
 of the frost, and in themselves gave forth a 
 certain light. Kirsteen stole out to a bench 
 that stood against the wall, and sat down in a 
 corner. She was not afraid of cold with her 
 uncovered head and bare arms. All the 
 moods of the elements were familiar to the 
 Highland girl. She thought it mild, almost 
 warm : there was no wind, the yellow birches 
 perceptible in their faint colour stood up like 
 a group of long-limbed youths dangling their 
 long locks in the dim light : the further land- 
 scape was but faintly visible, the shoulder of 
 the hill against the sky, and a single gleam 
 of the burn deep down among the trees. 
 
 She sat pressing herself into the corner of 
 the seat, and the long pent-up tears poured 
 forth. They had been getting too much for 
 her, like a stream shut in by artificial barriers, 
 and now came with a flood, like the same 
 stream in spate and carrying every obstruction 
 away. It was almost a pleasure to see (if
 
 42 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 there had been any one to do so) the good 
 heart with which Kirsteen wept : she made 
 no noise, but the tears poured forth In a great 
 shower, rehevlng her head and her heart. 
 They were very heavy, but they were not 
 bitter. They meant a great deal of emotion 
 and stirring up of her whole being, but though 
 her feelings were very poignant they were 
 not without pleasure. She had never felt so 
 elevated above herself, above every dull 
 circumstance that surrounded her. She had 
 been very sorry and had shed tears plentifully 
 when the other boys went away. But this 
 was not the same. She perhaps did not con- 
 fess to herself, yet she knew very well that it 
 was not altogether for Robbie. Robbie had his 
 share, but there was another now. For years 
 Kirsteen and Ronald Drummond had been 
 good friends. When he went away before 
 she had felt a secret pang, and had been very 
 eager to hear the news of the battles and that 
 he was safe : but something had changed this 
 friendship during the last summer while he 
 had been at home. Not a word had been
 
 HI. KIRSTEEN. 43 
 
 said : there was no love-making ; they were 
 both too shy to enter upon any revelation of 
 feeling, nor was there any opportunity for ex- 
 planations, since they were always surrounded 
 by companions, always in the midst of a 
 wandering, easy-minded party which had no 
 respect for any one's privacy. But Kirsteen 
 when she marked her brother's handkerchiefs 
 with her hair had fully intended that Ronald 
 should see it, and be struck w^th the similarity 
 of the initials and ask for or take one of them 
 at least. Her heart beat high when this hap- 
 pened according to her prevision ; and when 
 he stooped and whispered, "Will ye wait for 
 me, Kirsteen, till I come back?" the answering 
 whisper, " That I will ! " had come from the 
 bottom of her heart. She had scarcely been 
 aware of what w^as said in the hurry of the 
 moment. But it had come back to her, every 
 syllable and every tone as soon as it was all 
 over. Their spirits had floated together in 
 that one moment, which w^as only a moment, 
 yet enough to decide the course of two lives. 
 They were too much bound by the laws of
 
 44 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 their youthful existence to think of breaking 
 any observance in order to expand these 
 utterances, or make assurance sure. That 
 Ronald should spend his last evening at home 
 with his mother and sister, that Kirsteen 
 should be present at Robbie's parting supper, 
 was as the laws of the Medes and the Per- 
 sians to these two. No emergency could be 
 imagined of sufficient weight to interfere with 
 such necessities of life. And there was some- 
 thing in their simple absolutism of youthful 
 feeling which was better expressed in the 
 momentary conjunction, in the sudden words 
 so brief and pregnant, than in hours of lovers' 
 talk, of which both boy and girl would have 
 thought shame. "Will ye wait for me till I 
 come back ? " What more could have been 
 said in volumes? and ''That I will!" out of 
 the fervour of a simple heart ? Kirsteen 
 thought it all over again and again. He 
 seemed to stand by her side bending a little 
 over her with a look half smile, half tears in 
 his eyes ; and she was aware again of the 
 flash of the sweet discovery, the gold thread
 
 III. KIRSTEEN. 45 
 
 of the little letters put to his lips, and then the 
 question, " Will ye wait ? " Wait ! for a hun- 
 dred years, for all the unfathomed depths of 
 life, through long absence and silence, each 
 invisible to the other. "That I will!" She 
 said it over and over again to herself. 
 
 In those days there was no thought of the 
 constant communications we have now, no 
 weekly mails, no rapid courses overland, no 
 telegraph for an emergency. When a young 
 man went away he went for good — away ; 
 every trace of him obliterated as if he had 
 not been. It was a four months' voyage to 
 India round by the Cape. Within the course 
 of the year his mother might hope to hear 
 that he had arrived. And if an Indian letter 
 had come even at that long interval for a 
 girl in another family, what a host of questions 
 would she not have had to go through ! "A 
 letter for Kirsteen! Who's writing to Kirsteen ? 
 What is he writing to her about ? What is 
 the meaning of it all ? I must know what 
 that means ! " such would have been the in- 
 quiries that would have surged up in a
 
 46 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 moment, making poor KIrsteen the object of 
 everybody's curious gaze and of every kind 
 of investigation. She never dreamed of 
 any such possibiHty. Robbie, Avhen he wrote 
 home, which he would no doubt do in time, 
 might mention the companion of his voyage ; 
 Agnes Drummond might say, "There's a 
 letter from our Ronald." These were the 
 only communications that Kirsteen could 
 hope for. She was very well aware of the 
 fact, and raised no thought of rebellion against 
 it. When she gave that promise she meant 
 waiting for interminable years — waiting with- 
 out a glimpse or a word. Nor did this 
 depress her spirits : rather it gave a more 
 elevating ideal form to the visionary bond. 
 All romance was in it, all the poetry of life. 
 He would be as if he were dead to her for 
 years and years. Silence would fall between 
 them like the grave. And yet all the time 
 she would be waiting for him and he would 
 be coming to her. 
 
 And though Kirsteen cried, it was not 
 altogether for trouble. It was for extreme
 
 III. KIRSTEEN. 47 
 
 and highly-wrought feeling, sorrow and hap- 
 piness combined. Through all her twenty 
 years of life there had been nothing to equal 
 that moment, the intensity of it, the expec- 
 tation, the swift and sudden realisation of all 
 vague anticipations and wishes. It was only 
 a minute of time, a mere speck upon the 
 great monotonous level of existence, and yet 
 there would be food enough in it for the 
 thoughts of all future years. When the 
 thunder-shower of tears was exhausted, she 
 sat quite still in a kind of exalted content- 
 ment, going over it and over it, never tired. 
 The hot room and the smoky glare of the 
 candles, and the fumes of the whisky and the 
 sound of all the voices, had been intolerable 
 to her ; but in the fresh coldness of the night 
 air, in that great quiet of Nature, with the 
 rustle of the leaves going through it like 
 breath, and the soft distant tinkle of the burns, 
 what room and scope there was for remem- 
 bering ; which was what Kirsteen called 
 thinking — remembering every tone and look, 
 the way in which he approached the table
 
 48 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 where her work was lying, her wonder if he 
 would notice, the flush of perception on his 
 face as he said, " It's my name too," and then 
 that tender theft, the act that left Robbie for 
 ever without one of his pocket-handkerchiefs, 
 — she thought with a gleam of fun how he 
 would count them and count them, and 
 wonder how he had lost it — the little vision- 
 ary letters put to his lips. Oh that her heart 
 had been sewn in with the hair to give to 
 him ! But so it was, so it was ! He had that 
 pledge of hers, but she had nothing of his, 
 nor did she want anything to remind her, to 
 bind her faith to him, though it should be 
 years before she saw him again. The tears 
 started into her eyes again with that thought, 
 which gave her a pang, yet one which was 
 full of sweetness : for what did it matter how 
 long he was away, or how dark and still the 
 time and space that separated them now. 
 ''Will ye wait for me till I come back ?" that 
 would be the gold thread that should run 
 through all the years. 
 
 The sound of a little movem.ent in the
 
 III. KIRSTEEN". 49 
 
 dining-room from which all this time she had 
 heard the murmur of the voices, the tinkle 
 of the glasses, made her pause and start. It 
 was the ladies withdrawing to the parlour. 
 She thought with a litde gasp that they would 
 find the children scorching their cheeks on 
 the hearthrug, instead of being sent off to bed 
 as should have been done, and held her 
 breath expecting every moment the call of 
 '"Kirsteen!" which was her mother's appeal 
 against fate. But either the general license 
 of the great family event, or the sedative 
 effect of her mouthful of champagne and glass 
 of toddy, or the effect of Aunt Helen's con- 
 versation which put her always on her defence 
 whatever was the subject, had subdued Mrs. 
 Douglas : there came no call, and Kirsteen, 
 though with a slightly divided attention, and 
 one ear anxiously intent upon what was going 
 on indoors, pursued her thoughts. It gave 
 them a more vivid sweetness that they were 
 so entirelv her own, a secret which she mieht 
 carry safely without any one suspecting its 
 existence under cover of everything that was 
 
 VOL. I. E
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 habitual and visible. It would be her life, 
 whatever was going on outside. When she 
 was dull — and life was often dull at 
 Drumcarro — w^hen her mother was more ex- 
 acting than usual, her father more rough, 
 Mary and the children more exasperating, 
 she would retire into herself and hear the 
 whisper in her heart, *' Will ye wait till I come 
 back ? " — it would be like a spell she said to 
 herself — ^just like a spell ; the clouds would 
 disperse and the sun break out, and her 
 heart w^ould float forth upon that golden 
 stream. 
 
 The sound of a heavy yet soft step aroused 
 Kirsteen at this moment from her dreams ; 
 but she was set at ease by the sight of a 
 orreat whiteness which she at once identified 
 as Marg'ret's apron coming slowly round the 
 corner of the house. ** I just thought I 
 would find you here," said Marg'ret. '' It's 
 natural in me after that warm kitchen and a' 
 the pots and pans, to w^ant a breath of air — 
 but what are you doing here \vith your bare 
 neck, and nothing on your head ? I'm just
 
 III. KIRSTEEN. 
 
 51 
 
 warning you for ever, you'll get your death 
 of cold." 
 
 " I could not bear it any longer," said 
 Kirsteen, " the talking and all the faces and 
 the smell of the toddy." 
 
 "Hoot," said Marg'ret, "what ails ye at 
 the smell of the toddy ? In moderation it's 
 no an ill thing — and as for the faces, you 
 wouldna have folk without faces, you daft 
 bairn ; that's just a silly speech from the like 
 of you." 
 
 ''There's no law against being silly," 
 Kirsteen said. 
 
 "Oh, but that's true. If there was, the 
 jails would be ower full : though no from 
 you, my bonnie dear. But I ken weel what 
 it is," said Marg'ret, putting her arm round 
 the girl's shoulder. " Your bit heart's a' 
 stirred up, and ye dinna ken how ye feel. 
 Tak' comfort, my dear bairn, they'll come 
 back:" 
 
 Kirsteen shed a few more ready tears 
 upon Marg'ret's shoulder, then she gave that 
 vigorous arm a push, and burst from its hold

 with a laugh, " There's one of Robbie's hand- 
 kerchiefs lost or stolen," she said. " Where 
 do ye think he'll ever find it ? and R. 
 D. worked upon it with a thread of my 
 hair." 
 
 *' Bless me ! " said Marg'ret with alarm, 
 " who would meddle with the laddie's linen ? 
 but you're meaning something mair than 
 meets the eye," she added, with a pat upon 
 the girl's shoulder ; " I'll maybe faddom it 
 by and by. Gang away ben, the ladies will 
 be wondering where ye are, and it's eerie out 
 here in the white moonlight." 
 
 " Not eerie at all : ye mean soft and 
 sweet," said Kirsteen, '' the kind of light for 
 thinking in ; and the moon is this minute up. 
 She's come for you and not for me." 
 
 '* I cannot faddom you the nicht any more 
 than I can faddom what ye say," said 
 Marg'ret. " There's mair in it than Robbie 
 and his handkerchief But I maun go in 
 and fasten up the straps and put his keys in 
 his pocket, or he'll forget them. Laddies 
 are a great handful, they're aye forgetting.
 
 III. KIRSTEEN. 53 
 
 But they're like the man's wife, they're ill 
 to have, but worse to want. Gang in, gang 
 in out of the night air," said Marg'ret with a 
 faint sob, softly pushing Kirsteen before her. 
 The smell of the peat fires, w^hich was 
 pleasant, and of the smoke of the candles, 
 which was not, and of the penetrating fumes 
 of the toddy again filled Kirsteen's nostrils 
 as she came in. She had no right to be 
 fastidious, for she had been brought up in 
 the habit and knowledge of all these odours. 
 When she entered, another scent, that of the 
 tea with which the ladies were concluding 
 the evening, added its more subtle perfume. 
 In those days people were not afraid of 
 strong tea, mixed with a great deal of green 
 to modify the strong black Congou, and it 
 had been " masking " for half an hour before 
 the fire : they were not afraid of being " put 
 off their sleep." 
 
 " And do ye mean to say, Christina, that 
 there's nobody coming about the house that 
 would do for your girls ? " 
 
 " Oh, for mercy's sake, Eelen, say not a
 
 54 KIRSTEEN. cha]>. 
 
 word about that : we've had trouble enough 
 on that subject," said Mrs. Douglas in her 
 injured voice. 
 
 " Are you meaning Anne ? Well, I mind 
 Drumcarro's vow, but there is no doubt that 
 was a miss-alliance. I'm meaning men in 
 their own position of life." 
 
 '' Where are they to see men in their own 
 position, or any men ? " said the mother 
 shaking her head. " Bless me, Kirsteen, is 
 that you ? I don't like people to go gliding 
 about the house like that, so that ye never 
 can hear them. When your aunt and me 
 were maybe talking — what was not meant 
 for the like of you." 
 
 '* Hoot, there was no hairm in it," said 
 Aunt Eelen, " if all the lasses in the town 
 had been here." 
 
 ** But it's an ill custom," said Mrs. Douglas. 
 " However, as you're here ye may just get 
 me my stocking, Kirsteen, and take up a 
 stitch or two that I let fall Na, na, no 
 strangers ever come here. And now that 
 my Robbie's going, there w^ill be fewer than
 
 III. KIRSTEEN. 55 
 
 ever. I wish that your father would not 
 keep that laddie out of his bed, and him 
 starting so early. And, eh, me, to think that 
 I'm his mother, and most likely will never 
 see him in this world again ! "
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 Robbie went away next morning very 
 early, before the October day was fairly 
 afloat in the skies. They had no carriage at 
 Drumcarro except *' the gig," and it was 
 perched up in this high conveyance, looking 
 very red with tears and blue with cold, that 
 the household, all standing round the door, 
 saw the last of the boy mounted beside his 
 father, with a large portmanteau standing 
 uncomfortably between themi. His other 
 bae^aofe had been sent off in the cart in the 
 middle of the night, Jock as a great favour 
 accompanying the carter, to the great envy 
 and wrath of Jamie, who thought it hard 
 that he should miss such a "ploy," and could 
 see no reason why his brother should be
 
 CHAP. IV. KIRSTEEN. 57 
 
 preferred because he was two years older. 
 Jamie stood at the horse's head looking as 
 like a groom as he could make himself, while 
 his father made believe to hold in the steady 
 honest mare who knew the way as well as he 
 did, and was as little troubled by any super- 
 fluous fun or friskiness. Mrs. Douglas had 
 remained in bed dissolved in tears, and her 
 boy had taken his leave of her in those 
 congenial circumstances. " Be a good lad, 
 Robbie, and sometimes think upon your poor 
 mother, that will never live to see you again." 
 " Oh, mother, but I'll be back long before 
 that," he cried vaguely, doing his best to 
 behave like a man, but breaking out in a 
 great burst of a sob, as she fell back weeping 
 upon her pillows. The girls at the door 
 were in different developments of sorrow, 
 Mary using her handkerchief with demon- 
 stration, Kirsteen with her eyes lucid and 
 large with unshed tears, through which 
 everything took an enlarged, uncertain 
 outline, and little Jeanie by turns crying and 
 laughing as her attention was distracted from
 
 58 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 Robbie going away to Jamie standing with 
 his Httle legs wide apart at the mare's re- 
 spectable head. Robbie was not at all sorry 
 to go away, his heart was throbbing with 
 excitement and anticipation of all the 
 novelties before him ; but he was only 
 eighteen, and it was also full for the moment 
 of softer emotions. Marg'ret stood behind 
 the girls, taller than any of them, with her 
 apron to her eyes. She was the last person 
 upon whom his look rested as his father 
 called out, " Stand away from her head," as 
 if honest Mally had been a hunter, and 
 with a friendly touch of the whip stirred the 
 mare into motion. Robbie looked back at 
 the gray house, the yellow birches waving in 
 the winds, the hillside beyond, and the group 
 round the door, and waved his hand and 
 could not speak. But he was not sorry to 
 go away. It was the aim of all his breeding, 
 the end looked forward to for many years. 
 " It's me the next," said Jock, who was 
 waiting at Inveralton, from which place by 
 fishing-smack and coach Robbie was to
 
 IV. KIRSTEEN. 59 
 
 pursue his way to Glasgow and the world. 
 Travellers had but few facilities In those 
 days : the rough fishing boat across the often 
 angry loch ; the coach that in October did 
 not run " every lawful day," but only at 
 intervals ; the absence of all comfortable 
 accommodation would grievously affect the 
 young men nowadays who set out in a 
 sleeping carriage from the depths of the 
 Hio^hlands to take their berths in a P. and O. 
 Robbie thought of none of these luxuries, 
 which were not yet invented. His parting 
 from his father and brother was not emo- 
 tional : all that had been got over when the 
 group about the doors had waved their last 
 good-bye. He was more anxious about the 
 portmanteaux, upon which he looked with 
 honest pride, and which contained among 
 many other things the defective half-dozen 
 of handkerchiefs. Ronald Drummond met 
 him at the side of the loch with his boxes, 
 which contained a more ample outfit than 
 Robbie's, and the sword-case which had been 
 in the Peninsula, a distinction which drew
 
 6o KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 all eyes. " It's me the next," Jock shouted 
 as a parting salutation, as the brown sail was 
 hoisted, and the boat, redolent of herrings, 
 carried the two adventurers away. 
 
 "Weel," said Marg'ret, "the laddie's gane, 
 and good go with him. It's ane less to think 
 of and fend for. And we must just all go 
 back to our work. Whoever comes or who- 
 ever goes, I have aye my dinner to think of, 
 and the clean clothes to be put into the drawers, 
 and the stockino^s to darn a' the same." 
 
 " If you'll put an iron to the fire, Marg'ret, 
 I'll come and do the collars," said Mary, 
 " he was always so particular, poor Robbie. 
 There will be no fyke now with trying to 
 please him." 
 
 '' I cannot settle to work," said Kirsteen, 
 "and I will not. I'm not just a machine for 
 darning stockings. I wish I was Robbie 
 going out into the world." 
 
 *' Oh, Kirsteen, come and see the rabbits 
 he gave me," said Jeanie. '' He would not trust 
 one of them to the boys, but gave them to 
 me. Come and take them some lettuce
 
 IV. KIRSTEEN. 6i 
 
 leaves. It will keep us in mind of Robbie." 
 There was perhaps some danger that the re- 
 collection of the brother departed would not 
 last very long. So many had gone before 
 him and there were still others to 2:0. 
 
 But Kirsteen avoided Jeanie and the 
 rabbits and suddenly remembered something 
 she had to get at the "merchant's," which 
 was a full mile off — worsted for her mother's 
 knitting and needles for herself, who was 
 always, to the reprobation of the elder mem- 
 bers of the family, losing her needles. She 
 was glad to represent to herself that this 
 errand was a necessity, for a house without 
 needles how can that be ? and poor mother 
 would be more dependent than ever on 
 everything being right for her work, on this 
 melancholy day. It was still quite early, 
 about nine o'clock, and it was with a com- 
 punction that Kirsteen gave herself the 
 indulgence of this walk. A morning away 
 from work seemed to her almost an outrage 
 upon life, only to be excused by the circum- 
 stances and the necessity of the errand. She
 
 62 KIRSTEEN. 
 
 CHAP. 
 
 walked along the familiar road not noting 
 where she went, her thoughts far a^^ay, 
 following the travellers, her mind full of an 
 agitation which was scarcely sorrowful, a sort 
 of exaltation over all that was common and 
 ordinary. The air and the motion were good 
 for her, they were in harmony with that con- 
 dition of suppressed excitement in which from 
 the depths of her being everything seemed 
 bubbling up. Kirsteen's soul was like one of 
 the clear pools of the river by which she 
 walked, into which some clear, silvery, living 
 thing had leaped and lived. Henceforward 
 it was no more silent, no longer without 
 motion. The air displaced came up in 
 shining globules to the surface, dimpling over 
 the water, a stir was in it from time to time, a 
 flash, a shimmering of all the ripples. Her 
 mind, her heart were like the pool — no longer 
 mirroring the sky above and the pathway 
 ferns and grasses on the edge, but something 
 that had an independent life. She roamed 
 along without being able to tell, had any one 
 asked her, where she was. The road was a
 
 IV. KIRSTEEN. 63 
 
 beautiful road by the side of a mountain 
 stream, which was only called the burn, but 
 which was h'lQ- enouQ-h for trout or even now 
 and then salmon — which ran now alone the 
 side of the hill, now diving deep down into a 
 ravine, now half hid with big overreaching 
 banks, now flinging forth upon a bit of open 
 country, flowing deep among the rocks, chat- 
 tering over the shallows, sometimes bass some- 
 times treble, an unaccountable, unreasonable, 
 changeable stream. Red rowan-tree berries 
 hung over it reflecting their colour in the 
 water. The heather on the hill came in deep 
 russet tones of glory defeated, and the with- 
 ered bracken with tints of gold, all gaining 
 a double brilliancy from the liquid medium 
 that returned their image. To all these things 
 Kirsteen was so well accustomed that perhaps 
 she did not at any time stop to note them as 
 a stranger might have done. But to-day she 
 did not know what was about her ; she was 
 walking in more beautiful landscapes, in the 
 land of imagination, by the river of love, in 
 the country of the heart. The /> ays die tendre
 
 64 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 which was ridiculous w^hen all the fine ladieS' 
 and gendemen postured about in their high- 
 heeled shoes is not absurd when a fresh and 
 simple maiden crosses its boundary. She 
 went down the glen to the merchant's and 
 chose her wool, and bought her needles, and 
 said a few words to the women at their doors, 
 and shed a few more tears when they were 
 sorry for her about her brother's going away, 
 without ever leaving that visionary country, 
 and came back from the village more deeply 
 lost in it than ever, and hearing the whisper 
 of last night in every motion of the branches 
 and every song of the burns. '' Will ye wait 
 for me, Kirsteen ? " though it was only this 
 morning that he went away, and years and 
 years must pass before he came back — " Ay, 
 that I will ! That I will." 
 
 She had nearly reached home again, 
 coming back from the merchant's — for even 
 her reverie and the charm of it could not 
 keep Kirsteen's step slow, or subdue its airy, 
 skimming tread — when she came up to the 
 carter with his cart who had carried Robbie's
 
 IV. KIRSTEEN. 65 
 
 luggage to Inveralton. She stopped to speak 
 to him, and walked along by his side timing 
 her steps to those of his heavy, slow tread and 
 the movement of the laborious, patient horse. 
 *' Did you see him, Duncan ? " she said. 
 
 '' Oh, ay, I saw him — and they got away 
 fine in James Macgregor's boat ; and a quick 
 wind that would carry them over the loch in 
 two or three minutes." 
 
 "And how was he looking, Duncan ?" 
 
 " Deed, Miss Kirsteen, very weel : he's 
 gaun to see the world — ye canna expect a 
 young boy like that to maen and graen. I 
 have something here for you." 
 
 " Something for me ! " She thought per- 
 haps it was something that had been put into 
 the gig by mistake, and was not excited, for 
 what should there be for her ? She watched 
 with a little amusement Duncan's conflict 
 with the different coats which had preserved 
 his person from the night cold. He went 
 on talking while he struggled. 
 
 '' The other laddie, Jock, I left to come 
 home with the maister in the gig. He 
 
 VOL. I. F
 
 66 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 thought it was fine — but I wouldna wonder if 
 he was regretting Duncan and the cart — afore 
 now. Here it is at last, and a fecht to get it. 
 It is a book from Maister Ronald that you 
 gave him a loan of — or something o' that kind 
 — if I could but mind what gentles say — " 
 
 " Gave him — a loan of — ?" cried Kirsteen, 
 breathless. She had to turn away her head 
 not to exhibit to Duncan the overwhelminof 
 blush which she felt to cover her from head 
 to foot. " Oh, yes," she added after a moment, 
 taking the little parcel from his hand, " I — 
 mind." 
 
 Let us hope that to both of them the little 
 fiction was forgiven. A loan of — she had 
 nothing to lend, nor had he ever borrowed 
 from her. It was a small paper parcel, as if it 
 contained a little book. Kirsteen never could 
 tell how she succeeded in walking beside the 
 carter for a few steps further, and asking him 
 sedately about his wife and the bairns. Her 
 heart was beating in her ears as if it would 
 burst through. It was like a bird straining 
 at its bonds, eager to fly away.
 
 IV. KIRSTEEX. 67 
 
 Then she found herself at home where she 
 had flown Hke the wind, havino: informed 
 Duncan that she was '' in a great hurry " — but 
 in the passage, on the way to her own room, 
 she met Mary, who was coming from the 
 kitchen with a number of shining white collars 
 in her arms which she had been ironing. 
 
 o 
 
 " Where have you been ? " said Mary. 
 '' My mother has been yammering for you. 
 Is this an hour of the day to go stravaighing 
 for pleasure about the roads ? " 
 
 Mary pronounced the last word '• rods,'" 
 though she prided herself on being very 
 correct in her speech. 
 
 " Me — I have been to the merchant's for 
 my mother's fingering for her stockings," 
 Kirsteen said breathlessly. 
 
 "It was wheeling she wanted," said Aviary 
 with exasperating calm ; '' that's just like you, 
 running for one thing when it's another 
 that's wanted. Is that it in that small 
 parcel like a book ? " 
 
 '' No, that's not it," said Kirsteen, clasping 
 the little parcel closer and closer. 
 
 F 2
 
 68 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 '' It's some poetry-book you've had out 
 with you to read," said her sister, as if the 
 acme of wrong-doing had been reached. '' I 
 would not have thought it of you, Kirsteen, 
 to be reading poetry about the rods, the very 
 morning that Robbie's gone away. And when 
 my mother is so ill she cannot lift her 
 head." 
 
 '' I've been reading no poetry," cried 
 Kirsteen, with the most poignant sense of 
 injury. " Let me pass, Mary, I'm going up 
 the stair." 
 
 But it was MaSrg'ret now who interposed, 
 coming out at the sound of the altercation. 
 She said, " Miss Kirsteen, I'm making some 
 beef-tea for the mistress. Come in like a 
 dear and w^arm your hands, and ye can 
 carry it up. It will save me another trail 
 up and down these stairs." 
 
 Kirsteen stood for a moment obstructed 
 on both sides with a sense of contrariety 
 which was almost intolerable. Tears of 
 vexation rose to her eyes. '' Can I not have 
 a moment to myself ? " she cried.
 
 IV. KIRSTEEN. 69 
 
 " To read your poetry ! " ]\Iary called 
 after her in her mild little exasperating 
 voice. 
 
 " Whist, whist, my lamb, say nothing," 
 said Marg'ret. "Your mother canna bide 
 to have a talking. Never you mind what 
 she says, think upon the mistress that's 
 lying up there, wanting to hear everything 
 and canna — wantinor to be In the middle of 
 everything and no equal to it. It was no 
 that I grudge going up the stairs, but just 
 to keep a' things quiet. And what's that 
 you've gotten in your hand ? " 
 
 " It's just a small parcel," said Kirsteen, 
 covering it with her fingers. " It's just a — 
 something I was buying — " 
 
 " Not sweeties," said Marg'ret solemnly ; 
 "the bairns had more than plenty last 
 night — " 
 
 '' Never you mind what it is," said 
 Kirsteen with a burst of impatience, thrust- 
 ing it into her pocket. " Give me the beef- 
 tea and I'll take it up stairs." 
 
 Mrs. Douglas lay concealed behind her
 
 70 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 curtains, her face almost in a fluid state with 
 constant weeping. '' Oh, set it down upon 
 the table/' she said. " Do they think there's 
 comfort in tea when a woman has parted 
 with her bairn ? And where have ye been, 
 Kirsteen ? just when I was in want of ye 
 most ; just when my head was sorest, and my 
 heart like to break — Robbie gone, and Mary 
 so taken up with herself, and you — out of 
 the way — " 
 
 '' I'm very sorry, mother," said poor 
 Kirsteen. " I ran down to the merchant's 
 to get you your yarn for your knitting. 
 I thought you would like to have it 
 ready." 
 
 Mrs. Douglas rocked her head back and 
 forward on her pillow. '* Do I look like a 
 person that's thinking of yarn or of stock- 
 ings, with my head aching and my heart 
 breaking ? And none of you can match a 
 colour. Are you sure it's the same ? Most 
 likely I will just have to send MargVet to 
 change it. What's that bulging out your 
 pocket ? You will tear every pocket you
 
 IV. KIRSTEEN. 71 
 
 have with parcels in it as if ye were a lad 
 and not a lass." 
 
 '' It's only a very small thing," said 
 Kirsteen. 
 
 " If that's the yarn ye should never let 
 them twist it up so tight. It takes the soft- 
 ness all out of it. Where are ye going the 
 moment you've come back ? Am I to have 
 nobody near me, and me both ill in body, 
 and sore, sore distrest in mind ? Oh, Kir- 
 steen, I thought ye had a truer heart." 
 
 '* Mother, my heart's true," cried the girl, 
 '' and there's nothing in the world I would 
 not do to please you. But let me go and 
 put away my things, let me go for a mo- 
 ment, just for a moment. I'll be back 
 again before you've missed me." 
 
 '' You're not always so tidy to put away 
 your things," said the invalid ; '' sit down there 
 by my bedside, and tell me how my bonnie 
 lad looked at the last. Did he keep up his 
 heart ? And was your father kind to him ? 
 And did you see that he had his keys right, 
 and the list of all his packages ? Eh, me, to
 
 72 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 think I have to He here and could not see 
 my laddie away." 
 
 " But, mother, you have never done it," 
 said Kirsteen, *' to any of the boys — and 
 Robbie never expected — " 
 
 "You need not mind me," said Mrs. 
 Douglas, " of the waik creature I've always 
 been. Aye in my bed or laid up, never 
 good for anything. If you'll lift me up a 
 little, Kirsteen, I might maybe try to 
 swallow the beef tea ; for eh ! I have much, 
 much need of support on such a doleful day. 
 Now another pillow behind my back, and 
 put the tray here ; I cannot bear the sight 
 of food, but I must not let my strength run 
 down. Where are you going now, you 
 restless thing ? Just stay still where you 
 are ; for I cannot do without you, Kirsteen. 
 Kirsteen, do you hear me ? The doctor 
 says I'm never to be left by myself." 
 
 It was not till a long time after that 
 Kirsteen was free. Her eager expectation 
 had fallen into an aching sense of suspense, 
 a dull pang that affected both mind and
 
 IV. KIRSTEEN. 73 
 
 body. Instead of the rapid flight to her 
 room full of anticipation in which she had 
 been arrested in entering the house, she 
 went soberly, prepared for any disen- 
 chantment. The room was shared with her 
 younger sister Jeanie, and it seemed quite 
 probable that even a moment's solitude 
 might be denied her. When she found it 
 empty, however, and had closed the door 
 upon herself and her secret, it was with 
 trembling hands that she opened the little 
 parcel. It might be the handkerchief sent 
 back to her, it might be some other plain 
 intimation that he had changed his mind. 
 But when the covering was undone, 
 Kirsteen's heart leaped up again to that 
 sudden passion of joy and content which she 
 had first known yesterday. The parcel 
 contained the little Testament which Ronald 
 had carried to church many a Sunday, a 
 small book bound in blue morocco, a little 
 bent and worn w^ith use. On the flyleaf 
 were his Initials R. D., the letters of the 
 handkerchief, and underneath C. D. freshly
 
 74 KIRSTEEN. chap. iv. 
 
 written. He had made rather clumsily, poor 
 fellow, with a pencil, a sort of Runic knot 
 of twisted lines to link the two names to- 
 gether. That was all. Nowadays the young 
 lover would at least have added a letter ; 
 seventy years ago he had not thought of it. 
 Kirsteen's heart gave a bound in her breast, 
 and out of weariness and contradiction and 
 all the depressing influences of the morn- 
 ing, swam suddenly into another world : a 
 delicious atmosphere of perfect visionary 
 bliss. Never were public betrothals more 
 certain, seldom so sweet. With a timid 
 movement, blushing at herself, she touched 
 with her lips the letters on the title-page.
 
 PART II,
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 Mr. Douglas of Drumcarro was the son 
 of one of the Scotch lairds who had followed 
 Prince Charlie, and had been attainted after 
 the disastrous conclusion of the Forty-Five. 
 Born in those distracted times, and learning 
 as their very first lessons in life the ex- 
 pedients of a hunted man to escape his 
 pursuers, and the anguish of the mother as 
 to the success of these expedients, the two 
 half-comprehending children, twin boys, had 
 grown up in great poverty and seclusion in 
 the corner of a half-ruined house which be- 
 longed to their mother's father, and within 
 cognizance of their own real home, one of 
 the great houses of the district which had 
 passed into alien hands. When they set out
 
 78 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 to make their fortune, at a very early age, 
 their mother also having in the meantime 
 died, two half-educated but high-spirited 
 and strongly-feeling boys, they had parted 
 with a kind of vow that all their exertions 
 should be addressed to the task of regaining 
 their old possessions and home, and that 
 neither should set foot again upon that be- 
 loved alienated land until able in some mea- 
 sure to redeem this pledge. They went away 
 in different directions, not unconfident of 
 triumphantly fulfilling the mutual promise ; 
 for fame and fortune do not seem very 
 difficult at sixteen, though so hard to acquire 
 at a less hopeful age. Willie, the younger, 
 went to England, where some relations 
 helped him on and started him in a mildly 
 successful career. He was the gentlest, the 
 least determined of the two, and fortune 
 overtook him in a manner very soothing after 
 his troubled boyhood in the shape of a mild 
 competency and comfort, wife and children, 
 and a life altogether alien to the romance 
 of the disinherited with which he had begun.
 
 V. KIRSTEEN. 79 
 
 But Neil Douglas, the elder, went further 
 afield. He went to the West Indies, where 
 at that period there were fortunes for the 
 making, attended however by many access- 
 ories of which people in the next generation 
 spoke darkly, and which still, perhaps, among 
 unsophisticated people survive in tradition, 
 throwing a certain stain upon the planter's 
 fortunes. Whether these supposed cruelties 
 and horrors were all or almost all the exag- 
 gerations of a following agitation, belonging 
 like many similar atrocities in America to 
 the Abolitionist imagination, is a question 
 unnecessary to discuss. Up to the time at 
 which this story begins, whenever Mr. 
 Douglas of Drumcarro quarrelled with a 
 neighbour over a boundary line or a shot 
 upon the hill-side, he was called " an auld 
 slave-driver " by his opponent, with that sense 
 of having power to exasperate and injure 
 which gives double piquancy to a quarrel. 
 And of him as of many another such it was 
 told that he could not sleep of nights ; that he 
 would wake even out of an after-dinner doze
 
 8o KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 with cries of remorse, and that dreams of 
 flogged women and runaways in the marshes 
 pursued him whenever he closed his eyes. 
 The one thing that discredited these popular 
 rumours among all who knew Drumcarro was 
 that he was neither tender-hearted nor im- 
 aginative, and highly unlikely to be troubled 
 by the recollection of severities which he 
 would have had no objection to repeat had he 
 had the power. The truth was that he had 
 by no means found fortune so easily as he 
 had hoped, and had worked in every way 
 with a dogged and fierce determination in 
 spite of many failures, never giving up his aim, 
 until at last he had found himself with a little 
 money, not by any means what he had looked 
 for and wanted, but enough to buy a corner 
 of his old inheritance, the little Highland 
 estate and bare little house of Drumcarro. 
 Hither he came on his return from Jamaica, a 
 fierce, high-tempered, arbitrary man, by no 
 means unworthy of the title of " auld slave- 
 driver," so unanimously bestowed upon him 
 by his neighbours, who, however, could not
 
 V. KIRSTEEN. 8i 
 
 ignore the claims of his old Douglas blood 
 however much they might dislike the man. 
 
 He had married a pretty little insipid girl, 
 the daughter of one of his brother's friends in 
 ''the south country," who brought with her a 
 piano and a few quickly-fading airs and 
 graces to the Highland wilds, to sink as soon 
 as possible into the feeble and fanciful invalid, 
 entirely subject to her husband's firmer will 
 and looking upon him with terror, whom the 
 reader has already seen. Poor Mrs. Douglas 
 had not vigour enough to make the least 
 stand against her fate. But for Marg'ret she 
 would have fallen at once into the domestic 
 drudge which was all Drumcarro understood 
 or wanted in a wife. With Marg'ret to pre- 
 serve her from that lower depth, she sank 
 only into Invalidism — into a timid com- 
 plaining, a good deal of real suffering, 
 and a conviction that she was the most 
 sorely tried of women. But she bore her 
 despotic husband seven boys without a blem- 
 ish, robust and long-limbed lads equal to 
 every encounter with fate. And this made 
 
 VOL I. G
 
 82 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 him a proud man among his kind, strongly 
 confident of vanquishing every adverse cir- 
 cumstance, in their persons at least, if not, as 
 Providence seemed to have forbidden, in his 
 own. He set his whole heart upon these boys 
 — struggling and sparing to get a certain 
 amount of needful education for them, not 
 very much, it must be allowed ; and by every 
 means in his power, by old relationships half- 
 forgotten, by connections of his West Indian 
 period, even by such share as he could take 
 in politics, contrived to get appointments for 
 t^em, one after another, either in the King's 
 or the Company's service for India. The last 
 was much the best of any ; it was a fine ser- 
 vice, with perpetual opportunities of fighting 
 and of distinction, not so showy as the dis- 
 tinctions to be gained in the Peninsula, but 
 with far better opportunities of getting on. 
 The four eldest were there already, and 
 Robbie had started to follow them. For 
 Jock, who took to his books more kindly than 
 the others, there was a prospect of a writer- 
 ship. It was more easy in those days to set
 
 KIRSTEEN. 83 
 
 young men out In the world than It Is now. 
 Your friends thought of them, your poHtlcal 
 leaders were accessible ; even a passing 
 visitor would remark the boys In your nursery 
 and lend a friendly hand. Nobody lends a 
 friendly hand nowadays, and seven sons is 
 not a quiverful in which a poor man has 
 much reason to rejoice. 
 
 On the other hand the girls at Drumcarro 
 were left without any care at all. They were 
 unlucky accidents, tares among the wheat, 
 handmaids who mlQ^ht be useful about the 
 house, but who had no future, no capabilities 
 of advancino^ the famllv, creatures altOQ;ether 
 of no account. Men in a higher position 
 than the laird of Drumcarro might have seen 
 a means of strengthening their house by alli- 
 ances, through the means of four comely 
 daughters, but the poor little Highland laird- 
 lings, who were their only possible suitors, 
 were not worth his trouble, and even of them 
 the supply was few. They too went out into 
 the world, they did not remain to marry and 
 vegetate at home. Mr. Douglas felt that 
 
 G 2
 
 84 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 every farthing spent upon the useless female 
 portion of his household was so much taken 
 from the boys, and the consequence was that 
 the girls grew up without even the meagre 
 education then considered necessary for 
 women, and shut out by poverty, by pride, 
 by the impossibility of making the ap- 
 pearance required to do credit to the family, 
 even from the homely gaieties of the country- 
 side. They grew up in the wilds like the 
 heather and the bracken, by the grace of 
 nature, and acquired somehow the arts of 
 reading and writing, and many housewifely 
 accomplishments, but without books, without 
 society, without any break in the monotony 
 of life or prospect in their future. Their 
 brothers had gone off one by one, depriving 
 them in succession of the natural friends and 
 companions of their youth. And in this way 
 there had happened a domestic incident never 
 now named in Drumcarro ; the most awful 
 of catastrophes in the experience of the 
 younger members of the family. The eldest 
 of the girls, named Anne, was the hand-
 
 KIRSTEEN. 85 
 
 somest of the three elder sisters. She was of 
 the same type of beauty which promised a 
 still more perfect development in the little 
 Jeanie, the youngest of the daughters ; with 
 fair hair just touched with a golden light, 
 blue eyes soft and tender, and a complexion 
 somewhat pale but apt to blush at any touch 
 of sentiment or feeling into the warmest 
 variable radiance. She sang like a bird with- 
 out any training, she knew all the songs and 
 stories of the district, and read every poetry- 
 book she could find (they were not many — The 
 Gentle Shepherd, an old copy of Barbour's 
 Bruce, some vao:rant volumes of indifferent 
 verse) ; she was full of sentiment and dreamy 
 youthful romance without anything to feed 
 upon. But just at the time when her favour- 
 ite brother Nigel went away, and Anne was 
 downcast and melancholy, a young doctor 
 came temporarily to the district, and came in 
 the usual course to see Mrs. Douglas, for 
 whose case he recommended certain remedies 
 impossible to be carried out, as doctors some- 
 times do. He advised chan^ye of air, cheerful
 
 86 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 company, and that she should be kept from 
 everything Hkely to agitate or disturb her. 
 " That's sae easy — that's sae likely," said 
 Marg'ret under her breath. But Anne 
 listened anxiously while the young doctor 
 insisted upon his remedies. He came again 
 and again, with an interest in the patient 
 which no one had ever shown before. "If 
 you could take her away into the sunshine — 
 to a brighter place, where she would see new 
 faces and new scenes." *' Oh, but how could 
 I do that," cried Anne, ''when I have no 
 place to take her to, and my father would not 
 let me if I had .^" " Oh, Miss Anne, let me 
 speak to your father," the young man pleaded. 
 "You shall have a pleasant house to bring 
 your mother to, and love and service at her 
 command, if you will but listen to me." Anne 
 listened, nothing loth, and the young doctor, 
 with a confidence born of ignorance, after- 
 wards asked for an interview with Drum- 
 carro. What happened was never known ; 
 the doctor departed in great haste, pale with 
 wrath, Mr. Douglas's voice sounding loud as
 
 V. KIRSTEEN. 87 
 
 the burn when in spate after him as he strode 
 from the door ; and Anne's cheeks were white 
 and her eyes red for a week after. But at the 
 end of that week Anne disappeared and was 
 no more seen. Marg'ret, who had risen very- 
 early in the middle of the wintry dark, to 
 see to some great washing or other house- 
 hold work, found, as was whispered through 
 the house, a candle flickering down in the 
 socket upon the hall-table, and the house- 
 door open. To blow out the last flickering 
 flame, lest it should die in the socket and 
 so foreshadow the extinction of the race, 
 was Marg'ret's first alarmed precaution ; and 
 then she shut the open door, but whether 
 she saw or heard anything more nobody 
 ever knew. A faint picture of this scene, 
 the rising and falling of the dying light, the 
 cold wind blowing in from the door, the wild 
 darkness of the winter morning, with its be- 
 lated stars in a frosty sky looking in, remained 
 in the imagination of the family surrounding 
 the name of Anne, which from that day was 
 never pronounced in the house. Where she
 
 88 KIRSTEEN. 
 
 CHAP. 
 
 went or what became of her was supposed by 
 the young ones to be absolutely unknown. 
 But it is to be hoped that even Drumcarro, 
 savage as he was, ascertained the fate of his 
 daughter even while he cursed her. It came 
 to be understood afterwards that she had 
 married her doctor and was happy ; but that 
 not for a long time, nor to the sisters thus 
 taught by the tremendous force of example 
 what a dreadful thing it was to look at any 
 upstart doctor or minister or insignificant 
 person without a pedigree or pretensions like 
 their own. 
 
 This was the only shape in which love 
 had come near the door of Drumcarro, and 
 if there was a certain attraction even in the 
 tragic mystery of the tale, there was not 
 much encouragement for the others to follow 
 Anne's example, thus banished summarily 
 and for ever from all relations with her 
 family. Also from that time no doctor 
 except the old man who had brought the 
 children into the world was ever allowed to 
 enter those sacred doors, nor any minister
 
 KIRSTEEN. 89 
 
 younger or more seductive than Mr. Pyper. 
 As for other ineHgible persons there were 
 none in the country-side, so that Mary and 
 Kirsteen were safe from temptation. And 
 thus they went on from day to day and from 
 year to year, in a complete isolation which 
 poverty made imperative more even than 
 circumstances, the only event that ever 
 happened being the departure of a brother, 
 or an unusually severe "attack" of their 
 mother's continued ever-enduring illness. 
 They were not sufficiently educated nor 
 sufficiently endowed to put them on a par 
 with the few high-born ladies of the district, 
 with whom alone they would have been 
 allowed to associate ; and there was native 
 pride enough in themselves to prevent them 
 from forming friendships with the farmers' 
 daughters, also very widely scattered and 
 few in number, who, though the young 
 ladies of Drumcarro were so little superior 
 to themselves in any outward attribute, 
 would have thought their acquaintance an 
 honour. Nothing accordingly could exceed
 
 90 KIRSTEEN. chap. v. 
 
 the dulness, the monotony of their Hves, 
 with no future, no occupation except their 
 work as almost servants in their father's 
 house, no hope even of those vicissitudes 
 of youth which sometimes in a moment 
 change a young maiden's Hfe. All was 
 bald and gray about them, everything but 
 the scenery, in which, if there is nothing 
 else, young minds find but an imperfect 
 compensation. Mary indeed had a com- 
 pensation of another kind in the comfort- 
 able apathy of a perfectly dull and stolid 
 character, which had little need of the higher 
 acquirements of life. But Kirsteen with 
 her quick temper and high spirit and lively 
 imagination was little adapted for a part 
 so blank. She was one of those who make 
 a story for themselves.
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 Marg'ret was perhaps the only indi- 
 vidual in the world who dared to remonstrate 
 with ]\Ir. Douo^las as to the neo^lect in 
 which his daughters were losing their youth 
 and all its pleasures and hopes. Aunt 
 Eelen it is true made comments from time 
 to time. She said : " Puir things, what will 
 become of them when Neil's deed ? They've 
 neither siller nor learning ; and no chance 
 of a man for one of them that I can see." 
 
 *'And yet they're bonnie lasses," said the 
 sympathetic neighbour to whom on her 
 return home after Robbie's departure she 
 made this confidence. " Oh, they're well 
 enough, but with a silly mother and a father 
 that's just a madman, what can any person
 
 92 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 do for them ?" Miss Eelen Douglas was not 
 quite assured In her own mind that it was 
 not her duty to do something for her young 
 relations, and she took a great deal of pains 
 to prove to herself that It was Impossible. 
 
 "What If you had them over at the New 
 Year ? There's aye something going on, and 
 the ball at the Castle." 
 
 ''The ball at the Castle!" cried Miss 
 Eelen with a scream. '' And what would 
 they put on to go to the ball at the Castle ? 
 Potato-bags and dishclouts ? Na, na, I'm 
 of his mind so far as that goes. If they 
 cannot appear like Drumcarro's daughters 
 they are best at home." 
 
 ''Bless me," said the kind neighbour, "a 
 bit white frock Is no ruinous. If It was 
 only for a summer Sabbath to go to the 
 kirk in, they must have white frocks." 
 
 *' Ruinous or no ruinous It's more than he'll 
 give them," said Miss Eelen, shutting up 
 her thin lips as if they had been a purse. 
 She was very decided that the white frocks 
 could not come from her. And indeed her
 
 VI. KIRSTEEN. 93 
 
 means were very small, not much more than 
 was absolutely necessary to maintain her 
 little house and the one maid who kept her 
 old mahogany and her old silver up to the 
 polish which was necessary. Naturally all 
 her neighbours and her cousin Neil, who 
 hoped to inherit from her, exaggerated Miss 
 Helen's income. But though she was poor, 
 she had a compunction. She felt that the 
 white frocks ought to be obtained somehow, 
 if even by the further pinching of her own 
 already pinched living, and that the great 
 chance of the ball at the Castle ought to be 
 afforded to Drumcarro's neglected girls. And 
 she had to reason with herself periodically as 
 to the impossibility of this, demonstrating 
 how it was that she could not do it, that it was 
 not her part to do it, that if the father and 
 the mother saw no necessity, how was she, 
 a cousin once removed, to take it upon her ? 
 For though they called her aunt she was in 
 reality Neil Douglas of Drumcarro's cousin 
 and no more. Notwithstanding all these 
 arguments a compunction was always
 
 94 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 present In Miss Helen's worn out yet not 
 extinguished heart. 
 
 ** Besides," she began again more briskly, 
 *' what would be the use ? Ye'll no suppose 
 that Lord John or Lord Thomas would 
 offer for Drumcarro's lasses. They're as 
 good blood, maybe better ; for It's cauld 
 watery stuff that rins In those young lads' 
 veins. But Neil Douglas is a poor man ; 
 If he had all or the half that rightly 
 belongs to him, it would be anither matter. 
 We'll say nothing about that. I'm a 
 Douglas myself, and it just fires me up 
 when I think of It. But right or wrong, as 
 I'm saying, Drumcarro's a poor man and It's 
 no In the Castle his lasses will find mates. 
 And he's a proud man. I think upon Anne, 
 puir thing, and I cannot say another word. 
 Na, na, It's just a case where nobody can 
 interfere." 
 
 " But Miss Anne's very happy, and plenty 
 of everything, as I hear." 
 
 '' Happy, and her father's doors closed 
 upon her, and her name wiped out as If
 
 VI. KIRSTEEN. 95 
 
 she were dead, far more than if she were 
 dead ! And bearing a name that no man ever 
 heard of, her, a Douglas!" Miss Helen's 
 gray cheek took on a flush of colour at the 
 thought. She shook her head, agitating the 
 little gray ringlets on her forehead. " Na, 
 na," she said, ''I'm vexed to think upon 
 the poor things — but I cannot interfere." 
 
 '' Maybe their father, if you were to speak 
 to him — " 
 
 '' Me speak to him ! I would as soon 
 speak to Duncan Nicol's bull. My dear, ye 
 ken a great deal," said Miss Eelen with 
 irony, " but ye do not ken the Douglases. 
 And that's all that can be said." 
 
 This, however, was not all that a more 
 devoted friend, the only one they had who 
 feared neither Drumcarro nor anything else 
 in the world, in their interests, found to say. 
 Marg'ret was not afraid of Drumcarro. 
 Even she avoided any unnecessary en- 
 counter with ''the auld slave-driver," but 
 when it was needful to resist or even to as- 
 sail him she did not hesitate. And this time
 
 96 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 it was not resistance but attack. She 
 marched into the laird's room with her 
 head held high, trumpets playing and 
 banners flying, her broad white capstrings 
 finely starched and streaming behind her 
 with the impulse of her going, an unusual 
 colour in her cheeks, her apron folded over 
 one hand, the other free to aid the eloquence 
 of her speech. Several months had passed 
 in great quiet, the little stir of Robbie's 
 departure having died away along with the 
 faint excitement of the preparations for his 
 departure, the making of his linen, the 
 packing of his portmanteaux. All had re- 
 lapsed again into perfect dulness and the 
 routine of every day. Jamie, the next boy, 
 was only fourteen ; a long time must elapse 
 before he was able to follow his brother 
 into the world, and until his time should 
 come there was no likelihood of any other 
 event stirring the echoes at Drumcarro. As 
 for Marg'ret, the routine was quite enough 
 for her. To think what new variety of 
 scone she could make for their tea, how she
 
 VI. KIRSTEEN. 97 
 
 could adapt the remains of the grouse to 
 make a little change, or improve the flavour 
 of the trout, or compound a beef-tea or a 
 pudding which would tempt her mistress to 
 a spoonful more, was diversion enough for 
 Marg'ret among the heavier burdens of her 
 work. But the bairns — and above all Kir- 
 steen, who was her special darling. Kirsteen 
 had carried her head very high after Robbie 
 went away. She had been full of musings 
 and of dreams, she had smiled to herself 
 and sung to herself fragments of a hundred 
 little ditties, even amid the harassments of 
 her sick mother's incessant demands, and all 
 the dulness of her life. But after a month 
 or two that visionary delight had a little 
 failed, the chill of abandonment, of lone- 
 liness, of a life shut out from every re- 
 laxation, had ceased to be neutralized by 
 the secret inspiration which kept the smile 
 on her lips and the song in her heart. 
 Kirsteen had not forgotten the secret which 
 was between her and Ronald, or ceased to 
 be sustained by it ; but she was young, and 
 
 VOL. I. H
 
 98 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 the parting, the absence, the silence had 
 begun to tell upon her. He was gone; they 
 were all gone, she said to herself With 
 everything in the world to sustain the young 
 sufferer, that chill of absence Is always a 
 sad one. And her cheerfulness, if not her 
 courage, had flagged. Her heart and her 
 head had drooped In spite of herself. She 
 had been found moping in corners, " thinking," 
 as she had said, and she had been seen with 
 her eyes wet, hastily drying the irrepressible 
 tears. " Kirsteen greetin' ! " One of the 
 boys had seen it, and mocked her with a 
 jibe, of which afterwards he was much 
 ashamed ; and little Jeanie had seen it, and 
 had hurried off awestrlcken to tell jNIarg'ret, 
 " Kirsteen was In the parlour, just with no- 
 body, and greetin' like to break her heart." 
 
 " Hoot awa' with ye. It'll be that auld pain 
 in her head," said Marg'ret sending the little 
 girl away. But this report brought affairs to 
 a crisis. " The bairn shall not just be left to 
 think and think," she said to herself, adding 
 however prudently, "no if I can help it."
 
 VI. KIRSTEEN. 99 
 
 Marg'ret had managed one way or other to 
 do most things she had set her heart upon, 
 but upon this she could not calculate. Drum- 
 carro was not a man to be turned easily from 
 his evil ways. He was a ''dour man." The 
 qualities which had enabled him in the face 
 of all discouragement to persevere through 
 failure and disappointment until he had 
 at last gained so much if no more and 
 become Drumcarro, were all strong agents 
 against the probability of getting him to 
 yield now. He had his own theories of his 
 duty, and it was not likely that the repre- 
 sentations of his housekeeper would change 
 them. Still Marg'ret felt that she must say 
 her say. 
 
 He was seated by himself in the little 
 room which was specially his own, in the 
 heaviness of the afternoon. Dinner was 
 over, and the air was still conscious of the 
 whisky and water which had accompanied 
 it. A peat fire burned with an intense red 
 glow, and his chair and shabby writing-table 
 were drawn close to it. No wonder then 
 
 H 2
 
 lOO 
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 that Drumcarro dozed when he retired to 
 that warm and still seclusion. Marg'ret took 
 care not to go too soon, to wait until the 
 afternoon nap was over ; but the laird's eyes 
 were still heavy when she came in. He 
 roused himself quickly with sharp im- 
 patience ; though the doze was habitual he 
 was full of resentment at any suspicion of it. 
 He was reading in his room ; this was the 
 version of the matter which he expected to 
 be recognized in the family : a man nowa- 
 days would say he had letters to write, but 
 letters were not so universal an occupation 
 then. A frank or an opportunity, a private 
 hand, or sure messenger with whom to trust 
 the missive were things of an occasional 
 occurrence which justified correspondence ; 
 but it was not a necessity of every day. 
 Mr. Douglas made no pretence of letters. 
 He was reading ; a much crumpled newspaper 
 which had already passed through several 
 hands was spread out on the table before 
 him. It was a Glasgow paper, posted by 
 the first reader the day after publication to a
 
 VI. KIRSTEEN. loi 
 
 gentleman on Loch Long, then forwarded 
 by him to Iveralton, thence to Drumcarro. 
 Mr. Pyper at the Manse got it at fourth hand. 
 It would be difficult to trace its wanderings 
 after that. The laird had it spread upon his 
 table, and was bending over it, winking one eye 
 to get it open when Marg'ret pushed open the 
 door. She did not knock, but she made a great 
 deal of noise with the handle as she opened 
 it, which came to much the same thing. 
 
 ''Well," he said, turning upon her snap- 
 pishly, " what may ye be wanting now ? " 
 
 " I was wanting — just to say something to 
 ye, Drumcarro, if it's convenient to ye," 
 Marg'ret said. 
 
 " What do ye want ? That's your way of 
 asking, as I know well. What ails ye now, 
 and what long story have ye to tell ? The 
 sooner it's begun the sooner it will be ended," 
 he said. 
 
 "There is truth in that," replied Marg'ret 
 sedately ; " and I canna say I am confident 
 ye will be pleased with what I am going to 
 say. For to meddle between a father and
 
 102 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 his bairns is no a pleasant office, and to one 
 that is but a servant in the house." 
 
 *' And who may this be," said Mr. Douglas 
 grimly, '' that is coming to Interfere between a 
 father and his bairns, — meaning me and my 
 family, as I'm at liberty to judge ? " 
 
 Marg'ret looked her master in the face, 
 and made him a slight but serious curtsey. 
 ** 'Deed, sir, it's just me," she said. 
 
 "You!" said the laird with all the force 
 of angry indignation which he could throw 
 into his voice. He roused himself to the 
 fray, pushing up his spectacles upon his fore- 
 head. "You're a bonny one," he said, "to 
 burst into a gentleman's private room on 
 whatever errand — let alone meddling in 
 what's none of your concerns." 
 
 "If ye think sae, sir," said Marg'ret, 
 "that's just anither point we dinna agree 
 about ; for if there's a mair proper person 
 to speak to ye about your bairns than the 
 person that has brought them up, and carried 
 them in her arms, and made their parritch 
 and mended their clo'es all their life, I'm no
 
 VI. KIRSTEEN. 103 
 
 acquaint with her. Eh me, what am I say- 
 ing ? There is anither that has a better right 
 — and that's their mother. But she's your 
 wife, puir lamb, and ye ken weel that ye've 
 sae dauntened her, and sae bowed her down, 
 that if ye were to take a' their Hves she would 
 never get out a word." 
 
 '' Did she send ye here to tell me so ? " 
 cried Drumcarro. 
 
 '' But me," said Marg'ret, unheeding the 
 question, " I'm no to be dauntened neither by 
 words nor looks. I'm nae man's wife, the 
 Lord be thankit." 
 
 **Ye may well say that," said the laird, 
 seizing an ever-ready weapon, ''for it's well 
 known ye never could get a man to look the 
 way ye were on." 
 
 Marg'ret paused for a moment and contem- 
 plated him, half moved by the jibe, but with 
 a slight wave of her hand put the temptation 
 away. ''I'm no to be put off by ony remarks 
 ye can make, sir,'^ she said ; " maybe ye think 
 ye ken my affairs better than I do, for well I 
 wot I ken yours better than you. You're no
 
 104 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 an ill father to your lads. I would never say 
 sae, for It wouldna be true ; ye do your best 
 for them and grudge naethlng. But the 
 lassies are just as precious a gift from their 
 Maker as their brothers, and what's ever 
 done for them ? They're just as neglecktit 
 as the colley dogues : na, far mair, for the 
 colleys have a fine training to make then fit 
 for their work — whereas our young ladies, 
 the Lord bless them — " 
 
 ''Well," said the father sharply, ''and what 
 have you to do with the young ladies ? Go 
 away with you to your kitchen, and heat your 
 girdle and make your scones. That's your 
 vocation. The young ladles I tell ye are no 
 concern of yours." 
 
 " Whose concern should they be when 
 neither father nor mother take ony heed ? " 
 said Marg'ret. " Malster Douglas, how do 
 you think your bonnle lads would have come 
 through If they had been left like that and 
 nobody caring ? There's Miss KIrsteen Is 
 just as clever and just as good as any one o' 
 them ; but what Is the poor thing's life worth
 
 VI. KIRSTEEN. 105 
 
 if she's never to see a thing, nor meet a 
 person out of Drumcarro House ? Ye ken 
 yoursel' there's little company in Drumcarro 
 House — you sitting here and the mistress 
 maybe in her bed, and neither kin nor friend 
 to say a pleasant word. Lord bless us a' ! I'm 
 twice her age and mair : but I would loup 
 ower the linn the first dark day, if I was like 
 that lassie without the sight of a face or the 
 sound of a voice of my ain kind." 
 
 " You're just an auld fool," said Drumcarro, 
 "the lassie is as well off as any lassie needs 
 to be. Kirsteen — oh ay, I mind now, ye have 
 always made a pet of Kirsteen. It's maybe 
 that that has given her her bold tongue and 
 set that spark in her eye." 
 
 " Na," said Marg'ret, " it was just her 
 Maker did that, to make her ane of the first 
 in the land if them she belongs to dinna shut 
 her up in a lonesome glen in a dull hoose. 
 But naebody shall say I'm speaking for Kir- 
 steen alone ; there's your bonny little Jeanie 
 that will just be a beauty. Where she got it 
 1 canna tell, ony mair than I can tell where
 
 io6 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 Kirsteen got her grand spirit and yon light 
 in her ee. No from her poor mother, that 
 was a bonny bit thing in her day, but never 
 Hke that. Jeanie will be just the flower o' 
 the haill country-side, if ye can ca it a 
 country-side that's a' howkit out into glens 
 and tangled with thae lochs and hills. If she 
 were in a mair open country there's no a 
 place from Ayr to Dumfries but would hear 
 of her for her beauty in twa or three years' 
 time. Ye may say beauty's but skin deep, 
 and I'm saying nothing to the contrary; but 
 it's awfu' pleasant to the sight of men ; and 
 I'll just tell you this, Drumcarro — though it's 
 maybe no a thing that's fit for me to say — 
 there's no a great man in a' the land that bairn 
 mightna marry if she had justice done her. 
 And maybe that will move ye, if naething 
 else will." 
 
 A gleam had come into Drumcarro's eyes 
 as she spoke, but he answered only by a loud 
 and harsh laugh, leaning back in his chair 
 and opening wide a great cavern of a mouth. 
 ''The deil's in the woman for marrying and
 
 VI. KIRSTEEN. 107 
 
 giving in marriage ! " he said. " A bit lassie in 
 a peenny ? It's a pity the Duke marriet, Mar- 
 g'ret, but it cannot be mended. If she's to 
 get a prince he'll come this way when she's old 
 enough. We'll just wait till that time comes.'' 
 
 *' The time has come for the rest, if no for 
 her," said Marg'ret, unexpectedly encouraged 
 by this tone. *' And eh ? if ye would but think, 
 they're young things, and youth comes but 
 ance in a lifetime, and ye can never win it 
 back when it's past. The laddies, bless them, 
 are all away to get their share ; the lassies will 
 never get as much, but just a bit triflin' 
 matter — a white gown to go to a pairty, or 
 a sight of Glasgow, or — " 
 
 " The woman's daft ! " said the laird. 
 " Glasgow ! what will they do there ? a white 
 gown ! a fiddlestick — what do they want that 
 they haven't got — plenty of good meat, and a 
 good roof over their heads, and nothing to do 
 for't but sew their seams and knit their stock- 
 ings and keep a pleasant tongue in their heads. 
 If ye stir up nonsense among them, I'll just 
 turn ye bag and baggage out of my house."
 
 To8 KIRSTEEN. chap. vi. 
 
 *' I would advise ye to do that, sir," said 
 MargVet calmly. " I'll no need a second 
 telling. And ye'll be sorry but ance for what 
 ye have done, and that'll be a' your life." 
 
 " Ye saucy jade ! " said the laird : but 
 though he glared at her with fiery eyes, he 
 added no more on this subject. '' The 
 lassies ! " he said, a " pingling set aye wanting 
 something ! To spend your money on feeding 
 them and clothing them, that's not enough it 
 would appear ! Ye must think of their finery, 
 their parties and their pleasures. Tell Kir- 
 steen she must get a man to do that for her. 
 She'll have no nonsense from me." 
 
 *'And where is she to get a man? And 
 when she has gotten a man — the only kind 
 that will come her gait — " 
 
 Mr. Douglas rose up from his chair, and 
 shook his clenched fist. Rage made him 
 dumb. He stammered out an oath or two, 
 Incapable of giving vent to the torrent of 
 wrath that came to his lips. But Marg'ret did 
 not wait till his utterances became clear.
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 This was one of the days when Mrs. 
 Douglas thought she felt a little better, and 
 certainly knew it was very dull in her bed- 
 room, where it was not possible to keep even 
 Kirsteen stationary all day, so she had ven- 
 tured to come down stairs after the heavy 
 midday dinner which filled the house with 
 odours. A little broth, served with what was 
 considered great delicacy in Drumcarro in a 
 china dish on a white napkin, had sufficed 
 for her small appetite ; and when everything 
 was still in the house, in partial somnolence 
 after the meal, she had been brought to the 
 parlour with all her shawls and cushions, and 
 established by the fire. The news of the 
 great ball at the Castle which had moved
 
 no KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 Marg'ret to the desperate step she had just 
 taken had its effect in the parlour too. Kir- 
 steen who had said at first proudly, '* What 
 am I heeding ? " had, notwithstanding every- 
 thing, begun to wake up a little to the more 
 usual sensations of a girl of twenty when any 
 great event of this description is about to 
 take place. It would be bonny to see — it 
 would be fine just for once to be in grand 
 company like the old Douglases her forbears, 
 and to see how the lords and ladies behaved 
 themselves, if they were really so different 
 from common folk. And then Kirsteen be- 
 gan to think of the music and the sound of 
 the dancers' feet upon the floor, in spite of 
 herself — and the imaginary strains went to her 
 head. She was caught in the measure of her 
 dreams, swaying a little involuntarily to keep 
 time, and interjecting a real step, a dozen 
 nimble twinklings of her feet in their strong 
 country shoes as she went across the room to 
 fetch a new clew for her mother's knitting. 
 
 "What's that you're doing Kirsteen, to 
 shake the whole place ? " said Mrs. Douglas.

 '' Oh, it's just nothing, mother." 
 
 " She's practising her steps," said Mary, 
 *' for the grand ball." 
 
 " Dear me, dear me," Mrs. Douglas saldi 
 " How well I know by myself! Many's the 
 time I've danced about the house so that 
 nothing would keep me still — but ye see what 
 it all comes to. It's just vanity and maybe 
 worse than vanity — and fades away like the 
 morning dew." 
 
 " But, mother," said KIrsteen, '' it was not 
 your dancing nor the pleasure you've 
 had that made you ill ; so we cannot say 
 that's what it comes to." 
 
 '' Pleasure ! " said her mother. *' It's very 
 little pleasure I have had in my life since I 
 marriet your father and came to this quiet 
 place. Na, na, it's no pleasure — I was very 
 light-hearted in my nature though you 
 would not think it. But that's a thing that 
 cannot last." 
 
 *' But you had it, mother," said Mary, 
 "even if it was short. There was that ball 
 you went to when you were sixteen, and the
 
 112 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 spangled muslin you had on, and the officer 
 that tore it with his spurs." 
 
 Mrs. Douglas's eyes lit up with a faint re- 
 flection of bygone fire. *' Eh, that spangled 
 muslin," she said, *' I'll never forget it, and 
 what they all said to me when I came home. 
 It was not like the grand gowns that are the 
 fashion now. It was one of the last of the 
 old mode before those awfu' doings at the 
 French Revolution that changed everything. 
 My mother wore a hoop under her gown 
 standing out round her like a cart-wheel. I 
 was not old enough for that ; but there was 
 enough muslin in my petticoat to have made 
 three of these bit skimpit things." 
 
 *' I just wish," said Mary with a sigh, *' that 
 we had it now." 
 
 *' It would be clean out of the fashion if ye 
 had It ; and what would ye do with a spangled 
 muslin here ? Ye must have parties to go 
 to, before ye have any need for fine cla'es." 
 
 Mary breathed again that profound sigh. 
 " There's the ball at the Castle," she said. 
 
 '' Lord keep us ! " cried her mother. '' Your
 
 VII. KIRSTEEN. 113 
 
 faither would take our heads ott our shoulders 
 if ye breathed a word of that." 
 
 '' But they say the whole country's going," 
 said Kirsteen ; '* it's like as if we were just 
 nobody to be always held back." 
 
 " Your father thinks of nothing but the 
 boys," said Mrs. Douglas, with a feeble wail ; 
 ** it's aye for them he's planning. Ye'll bring 
 nothing in, he says, and he'll have you take 
 little out." 
 
 There was a pause after this — indignation 
 was strong in Kirsteen's heart, but there was 
 also a natural piety which arrested her speech. 
 The injustice, the humiliation and hard bond- 
 age of the iron rule under w^hich she had been 
 brought up, but which she had only now 
 begun to look upon as anything more than 
 the rule of nature, was what was uppermost 
 in her thoughts. Mary's mind was not specu- 
 lative. She did not consider humiliation or 
 injustice. The practical affected her more, 
 which no doubt was in every way a more 
 potent argument. " I just wonder," she said, 
 '* that he has not more sense — for if we were 
 
 VOL. I. I
 
 114 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 away altogether we would take nothing out 
 — and that cannot be if nobody knows that 
 we are here." 
 
 '' Your father's a strange man," said Mrs. 
 Douglas. "You are old enough to see that 
 for yourselves. When there are men coming 
 about a house, there's more expense. Many's 
 the dinner he got off my father's table before 
 he married me — and to have your lads about 
 the house would never please him. Many is 
 the thought I take about it when ye think I 
 have nothing in my head but my own trouble. 
 He would never put up with your lads about 
 the house." 
 
 *' Mother ! " cried Kirsteen, with indigna- 
 tion, " w^e are not servant lasses with men 
 coming courting. Who would dare to speak 
 like that of us ? " 
 
 Mary laughed a little over her work. She 
 was darning the stockings of the household, 
 with a large basket before her, and her hand 
 and arm buried in a large leg of grey-blue 
 worsted. She did not blush as Kirsteen did, 
 but with a little simper accepted her mother's
 
 VII. KIRSTEEN. 115 
 
 suggestion. "If we are ever to get away 
 from here, there will have to be lads about 
 the house," she said, with practical wisdom ; 
 *' if we're not to do it Anne's way." 
 
 " Lord bless us, what are you saying ? 
 If your father heard you, he would turn us 
 all to the door," said Mrs. Douglas, in 
 dismay. *' I've promised him on my bended 
 knees I will never name the name of that — 
 poor thing, poor thing," the mother cried sud- 
 denly, with a change of voice, falling into 
 trembling and tears. 
 
 ''I've heard she was real well off," said Mary, 
 "and a good man, and two servant maids 
 keepit for her. And it's just an old fashion 
 thinking so much of your family. The old 
 Douglases might be tine folk, but what did 
 they ever do for us ? " 
 
 " Mary! hold your peace," cried Kirsteen, 
 flaming with scorn and wrath. •' Would ye 
 deny your good blood, and a grand race that 
 were as good as kings in their day ? And 
 what have we to stand upon if it's not them ? 
 We would be no more than common folk." 
 
 I 2
 
 ii6 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 The conviction of Kirsteen's indignant 
 tones, the disdainful certainty of being, on 
 the natural elevation of that grand race, 
 something very different from common folk, 
 over-awed the less convinced and less 
 visionary pair. Mrs. Douglas continued to 
 weep, silently rocking herself to and fro, while 
 Mary made what explanations she could to 
 her fiery assailant. 
 
 " I was meaning nothing," she said, " but 
 just that they're all dead and gone, and their 
 grandeur with them. And the fashion's aye 
 changing, and folk that have plenty are more 
 thought upon than them that have nothing, 
 whatever may be their name." 
 
 " Do you think," said Kirsteen, " if we had 
 my mother's old gown to cut down for you 
 and me, or even new gowns fresh from the 
 shop — do you think we would be asked to 
 the Castle or any other place if it were not 
 for the old Douglases that ye jeer at ? It's 
 liot a spangled muslin but an old name that 
 will carry us there." 
 
 " There's something in that," said Mary,
 
 VII. KIRSTEEN. 117 
 
 cowed a little. '' But," she added with a 
 sigh, "as we're not going it's no thanks to 
 them nor any person. When the ladies and 
 gentlemen are going to the ball we'll be sitting 
 with our seams with one candle between us. 
 And we may just spend our lives so, for any- 
 thing I can see — and the old Douglases w^ill 
 never fash their heads." 
 
 " Lord bless us ! there's your father ! " cried 
 Mrs. Douglas with a start, hastily drying her 
 eyes. Her ear was keener for that alarming 
 sound than the girls', who were caught almost 
 in the midst of their talk. The laird came 
 in, pushing open the door with a violent swing 
 which was like a gale of wind, and the sus- 
 picious silence that succeeded his entrance, 
 his wife having recourse to her knitting in 
 sudden desperation, and the daughters bend- 
 ing over their various tasks with devotion, 
 betrayed in a moment what they desired to 
 hide from his jealous eye. 
 
 ** What were ye colleaguing and planning, 
 laying your heads together — that you're all so 
 still when I come in ? "
 
 Ji8 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 " We were planning nothing, Neil, just 
 nothing," said Mrs. Douglas eagerly. " I 
 was telling the bairns a bit of an auld story 
 — just to pass the time." 
 
 " They'll pass the time better doing their 
 work," said their father. He came first to 
 the fireside round which they were sitting, 
 and stared into the glowing peat with eyes 
 almost as red : then he strode towards the 
 only window, and stood there shutting out 
 the light with his back towards them. There 
 was not too much light at any time from that 
 narrow and primitive opening, and his solid 
 person filled it up almost entirely. Kirsteen 
 laid down her work upon her lap. It was of 
 a finer kind than Mary's, being no less 
 than the hemming of the frills of Drum- 
 carro's shirts, about which he was very 
 particular. He had certain aristocratic 
 habits, if not much luxury, and the fine- 
 ness of his linen was one of these. 
 Kirsteen's hemming was almost invisible, 
 so small were the stitches and the thread 
 so delicate. She was accomplished with
 
 VII. KIRSTEEN. 119 
 
 her needle according to the formula of 
 that day. 
 
 *^ Drumcarro," said his wife timidly after a 
 few minutes of this eclipse, " I am not wanting 
 to disturb ye — but Kirsteen cannot see to do 
 her work — it's little matter for Mary and 
 me." 
 
 " What ails Kirsteen that she cannot do 
 her work ? " he said roughly, turning round 
 but keeping his position. " Kirsteen here 
 and Kirsteen there, I'm sick of the name 
 of her. She's making some cursed nonsense 
 I'll be bound for her ain back." 
 
 '' It's for your breast, father," said Kirsteen ; 
 '* but I'll stop if you like, and put it by." 
 
 He eyed her for a moment with sullen 
 opposition, then stepped away from the 
 window without a word. He had an uneasy 
 sensation that when Kirsteen was his opponent 
 the case did not always go his way. "A 
 great deal ye care, any of ye, for me and my 
 wishes," he said. " Who was it sent that 
 deevil of a woman to my own business-room, 
 where, if any place, a man may expect to be
 
 I20 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 left in peace ? No to disturb me ! Ye would 
 disturb me if I was on my deathbed for any 
 confounded nonsense of your ain." 
 
 " I am sure, Drumcarro," his wife replied, 
 beginning to cry. 
 
 '' Sure — you're sure of nothing but what 
 she tells ye. If it were not for one thing 
 more than another I would turn her out of 
 my house." 
 
 '' Dinna do that — oh, dinna do that, if 
 it's Marg'ret you're meaning," cried Mrs. 
 Douglas, clasping her hands. "She's just 
 a stand-by for everything about the place, 
 and the best cook that ever was — and thinks 
 of your interest, Drumcarro, though maybe 
 ye will not believe it, far above her own. 
 And if you take away Marg'ret I'll just lie 
 down and die — for there will be no comfort 
 more." 
 
 " You're very keen to die — in words ; but 
 I never see any signs in you of keeping to it," 
 he said ; then drawing forward a chair to the 
 fire, pushing against Kirsteen, who drew 
 back hurriedly, he threw himself down in it,
 
 VII. KIRSTEEN. 
 
 in the midst of the women who moved their 
 seats hastily on either side to give him room. 
 " What's this," he said, '■ about some nonsense 
 down at the Castle that is turning all your 
 silly heads ? and what does it mean ? " 
 
 Mrs. Douglas was too frightened to speak, 
 and as for Kirsteen she was very little disposed 
 to take advantage of the milder frame of mind 
 in which her father seemed to be to wheedle 
 or persuade him into a consent. 
 
 It was Mary who profited by the unusual 
 opportunity. " It's just the ball, father, 
 — that the Duke gives when he comes 
 home." 
 
 '' The Duke," said he. " The Duke is as 
 auld a man as I am, and balls or any other 
 foolishness, honest man, I reckon they're but 
 little in his w^ay." 
 
 "He does not do it for himself, father — 
 there's the young lords and ladies that like a 
 little diversion. And all the folk besides from 
 far and near — that are good enough," Mary 
 said adroitly. " There are some that say he's 
 too particular and keeps many out."
 
 122 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 " Nobody can be too particular, if he's a 
 duke or if he's a commoner," said Mr. Douglas. 
 " A good pedigree is just your only safe- 
 guard — and not always that," he added after a 
 moment, looking at her steadily. '' You'll be 
 one that likes a little diversion too ? " 
 
 '' And that I am, father," said Mary, sud- 
 denly grown into the boldest of the party, 
 exhilarated and stimulated, she could scarcely 
 tell how, by a sentiment of success that seemed 
 to have got into the air. Mrs. Douglas 
 here interposed, anxious apparently lest her 
 daughter should go too far. 
 
 " No beyond measure, Drumcarro — ^just in 
 reason, as once I liked it well myself." 
 
 " You," said Drumcarro hastily, " ye were 
 never an example. Let them speak for them- 
 selves. I've heard all the story from begin- 
 ning to end. They're weary of their life here, 
 and they think if they went to this folly, they 
 might maybe each get a man to deliver 
 them." 
 
 '' Father ! " cried Kirsteen springing to her 
 feet, with blazing eyes. To her who knew
 
 VII. KIRSTEEN. 123 
 
 better, who had not only the pride of her 
 young womanhood to make that suggestion 
 terrible, but the secret in her heart which 
 made it blasphemy — there was something 
 intolerable in the words and laugh and jibe, 
 which roused her mother to a wondering and 
 tremulous confidence, and made Mary's heart 
 bound with anticipated delight. But no notice 
 was taken of Kirsteen's outcry. The laird's 
 harsh laugh drew forth a tremulous accom- 
 paniment, which was half nervous astonish- 
 ment and half a desire to please him, from 
 his more subservient womankind. 
 
 " Well, Drumcarro," said his wife timidly, 
 " it would just be the course of nature ; and 
 I'm sure if it was men that would make them 
 happy, it's no me that would ever say them 
 nay. 
 
 "You!" said her husband again. ''Ye 
 would not say nay to a goose if ye saw him 
 waddlin' ben. It's not to your judgment 
 I'm meaning to trust. What's Kirsteen after 
 there, with her red head and her e'en on fire ? 
 Sit down on your chair and keep silent if ye
 
 124 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 have nothing pleasant to say. I'm not a man 
 for welrdless nonsense and promiscuous danc- 
 ing and good money thrown away on idle 
 feasts and useless claes. But if there's a 
 serious meaning at the bottom of it, that's 
 just another matter. Eelen, I suppose, that's 
 in all the folly of the place, and well known to 
 the Duke and his family, as she has a good 
 right to be from her name, will understand 
 all about it, and how to put them forth and 
 set them out to the best advantage. It must 
 be well done, if it's done at all." 
 
 " There's a great many things that they 
 will want, Drumcarro ; none of mine are fit 
 to wear, and the fashion's all changed since 
 my time. They will want " 
 
 *' Oh, mother, not half what you think ; 
 I've my cairngorms that Aunt Mary left me. 
 And Kirsteen, she has a very white skin 
 that needs nothing. It's just a piece of 
 muslin for our gowns " 
 
 ^'Eh, me," said Mrs. Douglas, ''when I 
 mind all my bonny dyes, and my pearlins 
 and ribbons, and high-heeled shoes, and my
 
 VII. KIRSTEEN. 12 
 
 fan as long as your arm ; and washes for my 
 skin and cushions for my hair ! " She sat up 
 in her chair forgetting her weakness, a colour 
 rising in her pale cheeks, her spirit rising 
 to the unaccustomed delightful anticipation 
 which was half regret and recollection, so 
 that for once in her life she forgot her hus- 
 band and escaped from his power. " Ah ! " she 
 exclaimed again with a little outcry of pain, 
 "if I had but thought upon the time I might 
 have lasses of my ain and keepit them for 
 my bairns " 
 
 '' Ye may make yourself easy on that 
 point," said Drumcarro, pushing back the 
 chair he had taken, " for ye never had a 
 thing but was rubbish, nothing fit for a 
 daughter of mine." 
 
 " It's not the case, it's not the case," said 
 the poor lady, touched In the tenderest point. 
 " I had my mother's garnets, as bonny a set 
 as ever was seen, and I had a brooch with a 
 real diamant inside It, and a pearl pin — and 
 — oh, I'm no meaning to say a word to 
 blame your father, but what do men ken of
 
 126 KIRSTEEN. chap. mi. 
 
 such things? And it's not the case! It's 
 not the case ! Ye're not to beHeve him," 
 she said, with a feverish flush upon her 
 cheeks. 
 
 '* Bits of red glass and bits of white, and 
 a small paste head on the end of a brass 
 preen," said Drumcarro, with a mocking 
 laugh. 
 
 " Father, let her be," cried Kirsteen. '' I'll 
 not have her crossed, my bonny minnie, 
 not for all the balls that ever were." 
 
 " You'll not have her crossed ! You're a 
 bonny one to lift your face to your father. 
 If you say another word ye shall not go." 
 
 " I care not if I should never go — I will 
 not have my mother vexed, not for the Duke 
 nor the Castle nor a' Scotland," cried Kir- 
 steen, with fire gleaming in her hazel eyes. 
 
 " Oh, ye fool, ye fool ! and him for once 
 in a good key," cried Mary, in her sister's 
 ear.
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 Mrs. Douglas was the first to echo this 
 prudent advice when after she had wept 
 away the sting of that atrocious accusation 
 and minutely described her ''bonny dyes" 
 (her pretty things) to her children who, in- 
 deed, had heard all about them often, and 
 knew the pearl pin and the garnets by heart, 
 and had been comforted with a cup of tea, 
 she came to herself. And by that time 
 Kirsteen's indignation too had cooled, and 
 thoughts of the heaven of the Castle, with 
 fine ladies and grand gentlemen pacing forth 
 as in the ballads, and music playing and the 
 sound of the dancers' feet, began to buzz in 
 her young head and fill it with longings. If 
 he had been at home he would have been
 
 128 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 there. It would never now be what it might 
 have been had it happened before. But 
 even with that great blank of absence Kir- 
 steen was but twenty, and her heart did not 
 refuse to throb a little at this unthought of, 
 unhoped for prospect. Just to see it, and 
 how great persons behaved, and what like 
 the world was, when you were in it, that 
 world which represents itself in so many 
 different ways to the youthful imagination. 
 Kirsteen felt that at the Castle she would 
 see it in all its glory, nothing better in the 
 King's own court — for was it not under the 
 shadow of the Duke, and what could fancy 
 desire more ? She would need no further 
 enlightenment or experience of the aspect of 
 society, and what it was and how it looked, 
 than she could get there. This was the 
 Highland girl's devout belief; Vedi Napoli 
 e pot 7no7dre ; earth could not have anything 
 to show more fair. 
 
 Margret would have been more than a 
 woman had she not been all-glorious over 
 this event. '' I just daured him to do it,"
 
 VIII. KIRSTEEN. 129 
 
 she said, '' to let the occasion pass by and 
 nane of his daughters seen, and a their 
 chances lost." 
 
 '' Did ye speak of chances for me ? " cried 
 Kirsteen in youthful fury. "Me that would 
 not look at one of them, if it was the 
 prince out of the story book. Me that — !" 
 She turned away to dash a hot tear from her 
 dazzling wet eyes — '* me that am w^aiting for 
 him ! " Kirsteen said in her heart. 
 
 Her faithful champion looked at her with 
 anxious eyes. "If she would but say that's 
 what she's meaning," was Marg'ret's com- 
 mentary. '' Eh, I wonder if that's what 
 she's meaning ? but when neither the ane 
 nor the ither says a word, how Is a person to 
 ken?" It slightly overclouded her triumph 
 to think that perhaps for her favourite the 
 chances were all forestalled, and even that 
 trouble might come out of It If somebody 
 should throw the handkerchief at Kirsteen 
 whom her father approved. The cold chill 
 of such an alarm not seldom comes across 
 the designer of future events when all has 
 
 VOL. I. K
 
 I30 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 been carefully arranged to quicken the action 
 of Providence. But Marg'ret put that dis- 
 couraging alarm hastily out of her mind. 
 Right or wrong It was always a good thing 
 that her nurslings should see the world. 
 
 When the roll of white muslin arrived that 
 was to make the famous gowns, and when 
 Miss Macnab (who was not without claims 
 In some far-away manner to be connected 
 with a family In as near as the tenth remove 
 from the Laird of Macnab's own sovereign 
 race) came over with her little valise, and 
 her 7iecessaire full of pins and needles, and 
 was put Into the best room, and became for 
 the time the centre of Interest In the house- 
 hold — Marg'ret could scarcely contain herself 
 for pleasure. ''A' the hoose" with the ex- 
 ception of the boys, who at this stage of their 
 development counted for little, snatched 
 every available moment to look in upon Miss 
 Macnab — who sat in state, with a large table 
 covered with cuttings, and two handmaids 
 at least always docile beside her, running up 
 gores or laying hems. It might be thought,
 
 VIII. KIRSTEEN. 131 
 
 Indeed, that the fashion of that time required 
 no great amount of labour in the construction 
 of two white dresses for a pair of girls. But 
 Miss Macnab was of a different opinion. She 
 did not know, indeed, the amount of draping 
 and arranging, the skill of the artist in the 
 fine hanging of folded stuffs, or even the mul- 
 titudinous flouncings of an intermediate age 
 into which the art of dress was to progress. 
 
 The fashions of 18 14 look like simplicity 
 itself; the long, straight, narrow skirt, the 
 short waist, the infantile sleeves, would seem 
 to demand little material and less trouble 
 for their simple arrangement. But no doubt 
 this was more in appearance than in reality, 
 and the mind of the artist is always the same 
 whatever his materials may be. 
 
 Miss Macnab kept the young ladies under 
 hand for hours fitting every line — not folds, 
 for folds there were none — so that the skirt 
 might cling sufficiently without affording too 
 distinct a revelation of the limbs beneath, an 
 art perhaps as difficult as any of the more 
 modern contrivances.

 Mary stood like a statue under the dress- 
 maker's hands. She was never weary ; so 
 long as there was a pleat or seam that 
 needed correction, a pinch too little here, 
 a fulness too much there, she was always 
 ready. The white gown was moulded upon 
 her with something like a sculptor's art. 
 Miss Macnab, with her mouth full of pins, 
 and her fingers seamed with work, pinned 
 and pulled, and stretched out and drew in, 
 with endless perseverance. She was an 
 artist in her way. It was terrible to her, as 
 a mistake on the field of battle to a general, 
 to send forth into the world a gown that did 
 not fit, a pucker or a twist in any garment 
 she made. There are no Miss Macnabs 
 nowadays, domestic professors of the most 
 primitive yet everlasting of arts. The 
 trouble she took over her composition would 
 tire out a whole generation of needlewomen, 
 and few girls even for a first ball would stand 
 like Mary to be manipulated. And there is 
 no such muslin now as the fine and fairy 
 web, like the most delicate lawn, which was
 
 VIII. . KIRSTEEN. 133 
 
 the material of those wonderful gowns, and 
 little workmanship so delicate as that which 
 put together the long seams, and made invisible 
 hems round the scanty but elaborate robe. . 
 Kirsteen, who was not so patient as her 
 sister, looked on with a mixture of contempt 
 and admiration. It did not, to her young 
 mind and thoughts occupied with a hundred 
 varying interests, seem possible at first to 
 give up all that time to the perfection even 
 of a ball-dress. But presently the old seam- 
 stress with her devotion to her art began to 
 impress the open-minded girl. It was not a 
 very rich living which Miss Macnab derived 
 from all this labour and care. To see her 
 kneeling upon her rheumatic knees, directing 
 the easy fall of the soft muslin line to the 
 foot which ought to peep from underneath 
 without deranging the exactness of the deli- 
 cate hem, was a wonder to behold. A 
 rivulet of pins ran down the seam, and Miss 
 Macnab's face was grave and careful as if 
 the destinies of a kingdom were upon that 
 muslin line.
 
 134 KIRSTEEN. • chap. 
 
 '' What trouble you are taking ! " cried 
 Kirsteen. " And it's not as if it were silk or 
 velvet but just a muslin gown." 
 
 Miss Macnab looked up from where she 
 knelt by Mary's knee. She had to take the 
 pins out of her mouth before she could speak, 
 which was inconvenient, for no pincushion is 
 ever so handy. '' Missie," she said, ''my 
 dear, ye just show your ignorance : for there's 
 nothing so hard to take a good set as a fine 
 muslin ; and the maist difficult is aye the 
 maist particular, as ye would soon learn if 
 ye gave yoursel' to any airt." 
 
 Kirsteen, who knew very little of any art, 
 but thought it meant painting pictures, here 
 gave vent, to her own shame afterwards, to a 
 little laugh, and said hastily, " I would just 
 set it straight and sew it up again if it was 
 me. 
 
 " I have no objection that ye should try," 
 said Miss Macnab, rising from her knees, 
 " it's aye the best lesson. When I was in 
 a lairger way of business, with young ones 
 working under me, I aye let them try their
 
 vin. KTRSTEEN. 135 
 
 ain way ; and maistly I found they were well 
 content after to turn to mine — that is if they 
 were worth the learning," she added com- 
 posedly ; " there are many that are just a 
 waste of time and pains." 
 
 '' And these are the ones that take their 
 own way ? But if I were to take mine I 
 would never yield, I would make it answer," 
 said Kirsteen. She added with a blush, '' I 
 just cannot think enough of all your trouble 
 and the pains ye take." 
 
 Miss Macnab gave the blushing girl a 
 friendly look. She had again her mouth 
 full, so that speech was impossible, but she 
 nodded kindly and with dignity in return for 
 this little burst of approval which she knew 
 to be her due ; and it was with all the con- 
 fidence of conscious merit and a benign con- 
 descension that she expounded her methods 
 afterwards. " If ye dinna get the skirt to 
 fall straight from the waist, ye will never 
 mend it at the foot," she said. " I can see 
 you're ane that can comprehend a principle, 
 my bonnie missie. Take a' the trouble ye
 
 136 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 can at the beginning, and the end will come 
 right of itsel'. A careless start means a 
 double vexation in the finish. And that ye'll 
 find to apply," said this mild philosopher, *'to 
 life itsel' as well as to the dressmaking, which 
 is just like a' the airts I ever heard tell of, 
 a kind of epitome of life." 
 
 Kirsteen could not but break out into a 
 laugh again, notwithstanding her compunc- 
 tion, at the dressmaker's high yet mild pre- 
 tension ; but she listened with great interest 
 while Mary stood and gave all her thoughts 
 to the serious subject of the skirt and how 
 it would hang. " I just pay no attention to 
 what she's saying, but I would like my gown 
 to hang as w^ell as any there, and you must 
 take trouble for that," was Mary's report 
 afterwards when the gown was found to be 
 perfect. And what with these differing 
 motives and experiences the workroom was 
 the opening of new interests in Drumcarro, 
 as important as even the ball at the Castle. 
 The excitement and continued interest made 
 the greatest improvement in Mrs. Douglas's
 
 VIII. KIRSTEEN. 137 
 
 health, who came and sat in Miss jNIacnab's 
 room and eave a hundred directions which 
 the dressmaker received blandly but paid no 
 attention to. Marg'ret herself was stirred 
 by the presence of the artist. She not only 
 excelled herself in the scones she made for 
 Miss Macnab's tea, but she would come in 
 the afternoon when she was not "throng" 
 
 and stand with her hands uoon each side of 
 
 1. 
 
 her ample waist and admire- the work and add 
 no insignificant part to the conversation, dis- 
 coursing of her own sister, Miss Jean Brown, 
 that was in a very large way of business In 
 London, having gone there as a lady's maid 
 twenty years before. The well-born Miss 
 Macnab allowed with a condescending wave 
 of her hand that many began in that way. 
 '' But my opinion is that it wants good blood 
 in your veins and a leddy's breeding before 
 you'll ever make a gown that will set off a 
 leddy," she said to the little circle, but only, 
 not to hurt her feelings, after Marg'ret was 
 gone. 
 
 While these proceedings were occupying
 
 138 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 all his family, Drumcarro himself proceeded 
 with the practical energy which hitherto had 
 only been exercised on behalf of his sons to 
 arrange for his daughters' presentation to the 
 world. More exciting to the county than a 
 first drawing-room of the most splendid 
 season was the ball at the Castle which was 
 by far the finest thing that many of the 
 Argyllshire ladies of those days ever saw. 
 Even among those who like the family of 
 Drumcarro owned no clan allegiance to the 
 Duke, the only way of approaching the beatt 
 monde, the great world which included Lon- 
 don and the court as well as the Highlands 
 was by his means. The Duke in his own 
 country was scarcely second to the far off and 
 unknown King whose throne was shrouded 
 in such clouds of dismay and trouble, and the 
 Duchess was in all but name a far more 
 splendid reality than the old and peevish 
 majesty, without beauty or prestige, who sat 
 in sullen misery at Windsor. To go to 
 London, or even to Edinburgh, to the Lord 
 High Commissioner's receptions at Holyrood,
 
 VIII. KIESTEEN. 139 
 
 was a daring enterprise that nobody dreamed 
 of; but to go to the Castle was the seal of 
 good blood and breeding. When he had got 
 this notion into his head Drumcarro was as 
 determined upon it as the fondest father could 
 have been. The girls were of no conse- 
 quence, but his daughters had their rights 
 with the best, and he would not have the 
 family let down even in their insignificant 
 persons ; not to speak of the powerful sug- 
 gestion of relieving himself from further 
 responsibility by putting them each in the 
 way of finding " a man." 
 
 He made his appearance accordingly one. 
 afternoon in the little house inhabited by 
 Miss Eelen, to the great surprise of that 
 lady. It was a very small, gray house, 
 standing at a corner of the village street, 
 with a small garden round it, presenting a 
 curious blank and one-eyed aspect, from the 
 fact that every window that could be spared, 
 and they were not abundant to start with, had 
 been blocked up on account of the window- 
 tax. Miss Helen's parlour was dark in con-
 
 140 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 sequence, though It had originally been very 
 brieht, with a corner window towards the 
 loch and the quay with all its fishing-boats. 
 This, however, was completely built up, and 
 the prospect thus confined to the street and 
 the merchant's opposite — a little huckster's 
 shop in which everything was sold from 
 needles to ploughshares. Miss Eelen was 
 fond of this window, it was so cheerful ; and 
 it was true that nobody could escape her who 
 went to Robert Duncan's — the children who 
 had more pennies to spend than was good for 
 them, or the servant girls who went surrepti- 
 tiously with bottles underneath their aprons. 
 Miss Eelen kept a very sharp eye upon all 
 the movements of the town, but even she 
 acknowledged the drowsiness that comes 
 after dinner, and sat in her big chair near 
 the fire with her back turned to the window, 
 "her stocking" in her lap, and her eyes, as 
 she would have described it, '' gathering 
 straes," when Mr. Douglas paid her that 
 visit. Her cat sat on a footstool on the 
 other side, majestically curling her tail
 
 VIII. KIRSTEEN. 141 
 
 around her person, and winking at, the fire 
 Hke her mistress. The peats were burning 
 with their fervent flameless glow, and com- 
 fort was diffused over the scene. When 
 Drumcarro came in Miss Eelen started and 
 instinctively put up her hands to her cap, 
 which in these circumstances had a way of 
 getting awry. 
 
 '' Bless me, Drumcarro ! is this you ? " 
 
 '' It's just me," he said. 
 
 '* I hope they're all well ? " 
 
 *' Very well, I am obliged to you. I just 
 came in to say a word about — the Castle — " 
 
 *' What about the Castle ? " with astonished 
 eyes. 
 
 " I was meaning this nonsense that's 
 coming on — the ball," said Mr. Douglas, 
 with an effort. A certain shamefacedness 
 appeared on his hard countenance — some- 
 thing like a blush, if that were a thing 
 possible to conceive. 
 
 " The ball ? Bless us all ! have ye taken 
 leave of your senses, Neil ? " 
 
 "Why should I take leave of my senses ?
 
 142 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 I'm informed that the haill country — every- 
 body that's worth calling gentry will be going. 
 You're hand and glove with all the clanjamfry. 
 Is that true ?" 
 
 '' Who you may mean by * clanjamfry' I can- 
 not say. If you mean that his Grace and her 
 Grace are just bye ordinary pleasant, and the 
 young lords and ladies aye running out and 
 in — no for what I have to give them, as is 
 easy to be seen — " 
 
 *' I'm not surprised," said Drumcarro ; 
 *' one of the old Douglas family before the 
 attainder was as good as any one of their 
 new-fangled dukes." 
 
 " He's no' a new-fangled duke, as you 
 know well ; and as for the Douglas family, it 
 is neither here nor there. Ye were saying 
 ye had received information ? " Miss Eelen 
 divined her kinsman's errand, though it sur- 
 prised her, but she would not help him out. 
 
 '' Just that," said Drumcarro ; " I hear 
 there's none left out that are of a good stock. 
 Now I'm not a man for entertainment, or any 
 of your nonsense of music and dancing, nor
 
 VIII. KIRSTEEN. 143 
 
 ever was. I have had too much to do in my 
 life. But I'm told it will be a slight to the 
 name if there's none goes from Drumcarro. 
 Ye know what my wife is — a complaining 
 creature with no spirit to say what's to be 
 done, or what's not — " 
 
 "Spirit!" cried IMiss Helen. " Na, she 
 never had the spirit to stand up to the like 
 of you : but, my word, you would soon have 
 broken it if she had." 
 
 "I'm not here," said Mr. Douglas, "to 
 get any enlightenment on her character or 
 mine. I've always thought ye a sensible 
 woman, Eelen, even though we do not always 
 agree. They tell me it'll be like a scorn put 
 upon Drumcarro if the lasses are not at this 
 ploy. Confound them a' and their meddling, 
 and the fools that make feasts, and the 
 idiots that yammer and talk ! I've come to 
 you to see what you think. There shall 
 come no scorn on Drumcarro while I'm to 
 the fore." 
 
 " Well, Neil, if you ask me," said Miss 
 Eelen, '' I would have taken the first word,
 
 144 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 and given ye my opinion If I had thought it 
 would be of any use ; but it's just heaven's 
 truth ; and farewell to the credit of Drum- 
 carro when It's kent there are two young 
 women, marriageable and at an age to come 
 forward, and not there. It Is just the truth. 
 It will be said — for that matter it is said al- 
 ready — that ye're so poor or so mean that 
 ye grudge the poor things a decent gown, 
 and keep them out of every chance. I 
 would not have said a word If you had 
 not asked me, but that's just what folk 
 say. 
 
 Drumcarro got up hastily from his chair 
 and paced about the room, and he swore an 
 oath or two below his breath that relieved his 
 feelings. There was a great deal more in 
 Miss Helen's eyes. The "auld slave-driver" 
 knew that his name did not stand high among 
 his peers, and his imagination was keen 
 enough to supply the details of the gossip of 
 which his cousin gave so pleasant a summary. 
 *' Ye may tell them then," he said, "with 
 many thanks to you for your candid opinion,
 
 VIII. KIRSTEEN. 145 
 
 that Drumcarro's lassies, when he pleases, can 
 just show with the best, and that I'll thole no 
 slight to my name, any more than I would 
 were I chief of this whole country as my 
 forbears were. And that's what ye can tell 
 your gossips, Eelen, the next time ye 
 ask them to a dish of tea — no' to say 
 you're a Douglas yourself and should 
 have more regard for your own flesh and 
 blood." 
 
 " Bless me ! " cried Miss Eelen, '' the 
 man's just like a tempest, up in a moment. 
 Na, Drumcarro, I always gave ye credit if 
 but your pride was touched. And it's just 
 what I would have wished, for I was keen 
 for a sight of the ploy mysel' but too old to 
 go for my own pleasure. You will just send 
 them and their finery over to me in the gig, 
 and I'll see to all the rest. Bless me, to 
 think of the feeling that comes out when ye 
 least expect it. I was aye convinced that if 
 once your pride was touched. And who 
 knows what may come of it ? There's 
 plenty of grand visitors at the Castle — 
 
 VOL. I. L
 
 146 KIRSTEEN. chap. viii. 
 
 a sight of them's as good as a king's 
 court." 
 
 *' I hope a man will come of it, to 
 one or the other of them," Drumcarro 
 said.
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 Mr. Douglas himself went to the ball at 
 the Castle. He was of opinion that when a 
 thing is to be done, it is never so well done 
 as when you do it in your own person, and 
 like most other people of similar sentiments, 
 he trusted nobody. Miss Eelen, as one of 
 the race, was no doubt on the whole in the 
 interests of the family, but Drumcarro felt 
 that even she was not to be trusted with so 
 delicate a matter as the securing of '' a man " 
 for Mary or Kirsteen. It was better that he 
 should be on the spot himself to strike when 
 the iron was hot, and let no opportunity slip. 
 It is true that his costume was far from being 
 in the latest fashion ; but to this he was 
 supremely indifferent, scarcely taking it into 
 
 L 2
 
 148 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 the most cursory consideration. If he went 
 in sackcloth he would no less be a Douglas, 
 the representative of the old line upon whose 
 pedigree there was neither shadow nor break. 
 He was very confident that he could not 
 appear anywhere without an instant recogni- 
 tion of his claims. Those of the Duke him- 
 self were in no way superior : that potentate 
 was richer, he had the luck to have always 
 been on the winning side, and had secured 
 titles and honours when the Douglases had 
 attainder and confiscation — but Douglas was 
 Douglas when the Duke's first forbear was 
 but a paidling lairdie with not a dozen men 
 to his name. Such at least was the conviction 
 of Drumcarro ; and he marched to the Castle 
 in his one pair of black silk stockings — with 
 his narrow country notions strangely crossed 
 by the traditions of the slave-driving period, 
 with all his intense narrow personal ambitions 
 and grudges, and not an idea beyond the 
 aggrandisement of his family — in the full 
 consciousness of equality (if not superiority) 
 to the best there, the statesman Duke, the
 
 IX. KIRSTEEN. 149 
 
 great landowners and personages who had 
 come from far and near. Such a conviction 
 sometimes gives great nobleness and dignity 
 to the simple mind, but Drumcarro's pride 
 was not of this elevating kind. It made him 
 shoulder his way to the front with rising rage 
 against all the insignificant crowd that got 
 before him, jostle as he might ; it did not 
 give him the consolatory assurance that 
 where he was, there must be the most digni- 
 fied place. It must be allowed, however, in 
 defence of his attitude, that to feel yourself 
 thrust aside into a crowd of nobodies when 
 you know your place to be with the best, is 
 trying. Some people succeed in bearing it 
 with a smile, but the smile is seldom warm 
 or of a genial character. And Drumcarro, 
 at the bottom of the room, struggling to get 
 forward, seeing the fine company at the other 
 end, and invariably, persistently, he scarcely 
 knew how, put back among the crowd, was 
 not capable of that superlative amiability. 
 The surprise of it partially subdued him for a 
 time, and Miss Helen's exertions, who got
 
 150 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 him by the arm, and endeavoured to make 
 him hear reason. 
 
 '* Drumcarro ! bless the man — can ye not 
 be content where ye are ? Yon's just the 
 visitors, chiefly from England and foreign 
 parts — earls and dukes, and such like." 
 
 " Confound the earls and the dukes ! what's 
 their titles and their visitors to me ? The 
 Douglases have held their own and more for 
 as many hundred years " 
 
 *' Whisht, whisht, for mercy's sake ! Lord, 
 ye'll have all the folk staring as if we were some 
 ferly. Everybody knows who the Douglases 
 were ; but man, mind the way of the world 
 that ye are just as much affected by as any 
 person. Riches and titles take the crown of 
 the causeway. We have to put up with it 
 whether we like it or no. You're fond of 
 money and moneyed folk yourself " 
 
 '' Haud your fuilish tongue, ye know noth- 
 ing about it," said Drumcarro. But then he 
 felt that he had gone too far. '' I'm so used to 
 my wife I forget who I'm speaking to. You'll 
 excuse me, Eelen ? "
 
 IX. KIRSTEEN. 151 
 
 "The Lord be praised I'm not your wife," 
 said jMiss Eelen devoutly. She added, per- 
 ceiving a vacant chair a Httle higher up near 
 the edge of the privileged line, " I see my 
 harbour, Drumcarro, and there I'll go, but no 
 further ; " and with an able dive through the 
 throng and long experience of the best 
 methods, managed adroitly to settle herself 
 there. She caught by the elbow as she made 
 her dart a gentleman who stood by, a man 
 with grey hair still dressed in a black silk bag 
 in the old-fashioned way which was no longer 
 the mode. " Glendochart," she said, '' one 
 word. I'm wanting your help ; you were 
 always on the Douglas' side." 
 
 " Miss Eelen ? " he cried with a litde sur- 
 prise, turning round. He was a man between 
 fifty and sixty, with a fresh colour and gentle, 
 friendly air, much better dressed and set up 
 than Drumcarro, but yet with something of 
 the look of a man more accustomed to the 
 hill-side and the moor than to the world. 
 
 " For gudesake look to my cousin Neil, of 
 Drumcarro ; he's just like a mad bull raging
 
 i52 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 to be in the front of everything. Auld Earl 
 Douglas, our great forbear, was naething to 
 him for pride. He will just shame us all 
 before the Duke and Duchess and their grand 
 visitors, if some one will not interfere." 
 
 The gentleman thus appealed to turned 
 round quickly with a glance at the two girls, 
 who with difficulty, and a little breathless and 
 blushing with excitement, had emerged out 
 of the crowd behind Miss Eelen, less skilled 
 in making their way than she. '' These 
 young ladles," he said, '' are with you ? they'll 
 be—" 
 
 '' Just Drumcarro's daughters, and the first 
 time they've ever been seen out of their own 
 house. But yonder's their father making 
 everybody stand about. For ainy sake, 
 Glendochart." 
 
 " I'll do your bidding, Miss Eelen." 
 
 The girls both thought, as his look dwelt 
 upon them, that he was a most kind and 
 pleasant old gentleman, and sighed with a 
 thought that life would be far easier and 
 everything more practicable if their father
 
 IX. KIRSTEEN. 153 
 
 was but such another. But alas, that was 
 past praying for. They had a little more 
 space now that they had gained this compara- 
 tive haven at the side of Miss Helen's chair 
 to take breath and look about them, and shake 
 themselves free of the crowd. 
 
 The muslin gowns had been very success- 
 ful ; the skirts fell in a straight line from the 
 waistband high under their arms to their feet, 
 one with a little edge of fine white embroidery, 
 the other with a frill scarcely to be called a 
 flounce round the foot. The bodices were no 
 longer than a baby's cut in a modest round 
 with a little tucker of lace against the warm 
 whiteness of the bosom : the sleeves were 
 formed of little puffs of muslin also like a 
 baby's. Mary wore her necklace of cairn- 
 gorms with much pride. Kirsteen had nothing 
 upon her milkwhite throat to ornament or 
 conceal it. Nothing could have been whiter 
 than her throat, with the soft warmth of life 
 just tinging its purity ; her red hair, which 
 goes so well with that warm whiteness, was 
 done up in what was called a classic knot at
 
 154 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 the back of her head, but there were some 
 little curls which would not be gainsaid about 
 her forehead and behind her ear. Her arms 
 were covered with long silk gloves drawn up 
 to meet the short sleeves. She was In a great 
 tremor of excited Imagination and expected 
 pleasure. She was not thinking ot partners 
 indeed, nor of performing at all in her own 
 person. She had come to see the world — to 
 see the fine ladles and gentlemen, to hear 
 some of their beautiful talk perhaps, and 
 watch the exquisite way in which they would 
 behave themselves. This was the chief pre- 
 occupation of her mind. She looked round her 
 as If It had been " the play." KIrsteen knew 
 nothing at all of the play, and had been brought 
 up to believe that It was a most depraved and 
 depraving entertainment, but still there had 
 never been any doubt expressed of Its en- 
 thralling character. The ball she had decided 
 from the first day It had been mentioned, 
 would be as good as going to the play. 
 
 Miss Eelen very soon found an old lady 
 sitting near with whom she could talk, but
 
 IX. KIRSTEEN. i55 
 
 Mary and KIrsteen stood together looking 
 out upon the faces and the moving figures 
 and speaking to no one. They scarcely cared 
 to talk to each other, which they could do, 
 they both reflected, very well at home. They 
 stood pressing close to each other, and 
 watched all the coming and going. In the 
 position which they had gained they could 
 see all the sets, the great people at the head 
 of the room, the humbler ones below. Kir- 
 steen had an advantage over her sister. She 
 had met Lady Chatty several times at Miss 
 Helen's and had admired her, half for herself, 
 half for her position, which had a romantic 
 side very delightful to her simple imagination. 
 "That's Lady Chatty," she whispered to 
 Mary, proud of her superior knowledge. " I 
 don't think much of her," said Mary, whisper- 
 ing back again. This gave Kirsteen a shock 
 in the perfect pleasure with which she watched 
 the graceful movements and animated looks 
 of the future beauty. She had felt a disinter- 
 ested delight in following the other girl 
 through her dance, admiring how happy she
 
 156 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 looked and how bright ; but Mary's criticism 
 had a chilling effect. 
 
 A long time passed thus, and Kirsteen 
 began to feel tired in spite of herself ; the 
 pleasure of watching a room full of animated 
 dancers very soon palls at twenty. Her 
 expectation of pleasure gradually died away. 
 It was very bonny, but not the delight she 
 had thought. Mary stood with a smile which 
 had never varied since they entered the room, 
 determined to look pleased whatever hap- 
 pened — but Kirsteen was not able to keep up 
 to that level. U /^e had but been here ! then 
 indeed all things would have been different. 
 It gave her a singular consolation to think of 
 this, to feel that it was in some sort a pledge 
 of her belonging to him that she was only a 
 spectator in the place where he was not ; but 
 she was too sensible not to be aware that her 
 consolation was a fantastic one, and that she 
 would in fact have been pleased to dance and 
 enjoy herself. She and her sister were pushed 
 a little higher up by the pressure of the crowd 
 which formed a fringe round the room, and
 
 IX. KIRSTEEN. 157 
 
 which consisted of a great many young men 
 too timid to break into the central space where 
 the tine people were performing, and of tired 
 and impatient girls who could not dance till 
 they were asked. Somehow it began to look 
 all very foolish to Kirsteen, not beautiful as 
 she had hoped. 
 
 And then by ill luck she overheard the 
 chatter of a little party belonging to the 
 house. It was the kind of chatter which no 
 doubt existed and was freely used at the balls 
 given by the Pharaohs (if they gave balls), 
 or by Pericles, or at least by Charlemagne. 
 ** Where do all these funny people come 
 from?" *' Out of the ark, I should think," 
 the young lords and ladies said. " Antedi- 
 luvian certainly — look, here is a pair of very 
 strange beasts." The pair in question seemed 
 to Kirsteen a very pretty couple. The young 
 man a little flushed and blushing at his own 
 daring, the girl, yes ! there could be no doubt, 
 Agnes Drummond, Ronald's sister, of as 
 good family as any in the room. But the 
 young ladies and gentlemen from London
 
 158 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 laughed *' consumedly." '^ Her gown must 
 have been made in the year one." '* And no 
 doubt that's the coat his grandfather was 
 married in." But all their impertinences 
 Avere brought to a climax by Lord John, one 
 of the family, who ought to have known 
 better. " Don't you know," he said, " it's my 
 mother's menagerie ? We have the natives 
 once a year and make 'em dance. Wait a 
 little till they warm to it, and then you shall 
 see what you shall see." Kirsteen turned 
 and flashed a passionate glance at the young 
 speaker, which made him step backwards 
 and blush all over his foolish young face ; for 
 to be sure he had only been beguiled into 
 saying what the poor young man thought 
 was clever, and did not mean it. Kirsteen's 
 bosom swelled with pride and scorn and in- 
 jured feeling. And she had thought every- 
 body would be kind ! and she had thought it 
 would all be so bonny ! And to think of a 
 menagerie and the natives making a show 
 for these strangers to see ! 
 
 '' Miss Kirsteen, there is a new set making
 
 IX. KIRSTEEN. 159 
 
 up, and your sister would be glad of you for 
 a vees-d-vis if ye will not refuse an old man 
 for a partner." Kirsteen looked round and 
 met the pleasant eyes, still bright enough, of 
 Glendochart, whom Miss Eelen had bidden 
 to look after the indignant Drumcarro. Kir- 
 steen looked every inch Drumcarro's daughter 
 as she turned round, an angry flush on her 
 face, and her eyes shining with angry tears. 
 
 "■ I will not dance. I am obliged to you, 
 sir," she said. 
 
 *' Not dance," said Mary, in an indignant 
 whisper, *' when we're both asked ! And 
 what would ye have ? We cannot all have 
 young men." 
 
 "• I will not dance — to make sport for the 
 fine folk," said Kirsteen in the same tone. 
 
 "You are just like my father," said Mary, 
 " spoiling other folks' pleasure. Will ye 
 come or will ye not, and the gentleman wait 
 ing — and me that cannot if you will not." 
 
 " Come, my dear," said old Glendochart. 
 He patted her hand as he drew It through his 
 arm. '* I have known your father and all
 
 i6o KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 your friends this fifty years, and ye must not 
 refuse an old man." 
 
 Neither of the girls were very much at 
 their ease in the quadrille, but they watched 
 the first dancers with anxious attention, and 
 followed their example with the correctness 
 of a lesson just received. Kirsteen, though 
 she began very reluctantly, was soothed in 
 spite of herself by the music and the measure, 
 and the satisfaction of having a share in what 
 was going on. She forgot for a moment the 
 gibes she had listened to with such indigna- 
 tion. A quadrille is a very humdrum per- 
 formance nowadays to those who know 
 nothing so delightful as the wild monotony 
 of the round dance. But in Kirsteen's time 
 the quadrille was still comparatively new, and 
 very '* genteel." It was an almost solemn 
 satisfaction to have got successfully through 
 it, and her old partner was very kind and 
 took her out to the tea-room afterwards with 
 the greatest attention, pointing out to her 
 the long vista of the corridor and some of the 
 pictures on the walls, and everything that
 
 IX. KIRSTEEX. i6i 
 
 was worth seeing. They were met as they 
 came back by a very fine gentleman with a 
 riband and a star, who stopped to speak to 
 her companion, and at whom Kirsteen looked 
 with awe. "And who may this bonny lass 
 be?" the great man said. "A daughter of 
 yours, Glendochart } " 
 
 " No daughter of mine," said the old gen- 
 tleman in a testv tone. " I thouQfht vour 
 Grace was aware I was the one of your clan 
 that had not married. The young lady is 
 Miss Kirsteen Douo^las, a dauQ^hter of Drum- 
 carro." 
 
 "I beg your — her pardon and yours; I 
 ought to have known better," said the Duke. 
 " But you must remember, Glendochart, 
 when you are in such fair company, that it is 
 never too late to mend." 
 
 " He should indeed have known better," 
 said Glendochart, when they had passed on. 
 ** These great folk. Miss Kirsteen, they 
 cannot even take the trouble to mind — which 
 kings do, they say, who have more to think 
 of. And yet one would think my story is 
 
 VOL. I. M
 
 i62 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 not a thing to forget. Did you ever hear 
 how it was that John Campbell of Glen- 
 dochart was a lone auld bachelor ? It's 
 not a tale for a ball-room, but there's some- 
 thing in your pretty eyes that makes me 
 fain to tell." 
 
 *' Oh, it is little I care for the ball-room," 
 cried Kirsteen, remembering her grievance, 
 which she told with something of the fire and 
 indignation of her original feeling. He 
 laughed softly, and shook his head. 
 
 " Never you fash your head about such 
 folly. When my Lord John goes to St. 
 James's the men of fashion and their ladies 
 will say much the same of him, and you will 
 be well avenged." 
 
 " It's very childish to think of it at all," 
 said Kirsteen, with a blush. " And now will 
 you tell me ? " She looked up into his face 
 
 with a sweet and serious attention which 
 
 bewitched the old gentleman, who was not 
 
 old at all. 
 
 " I was away with my regiment on the 
 
 continent of Europe and in the Colonies and
 
 IX. KIRSTEEN. 163 
 
 Other places for many years, when I was a 
 young man," Glendochart said. 
 
 •' Yes ? " said Kirsteen, with profoundest 
 interest — for was not that the only prospect 
 before him too ? 
 
 '' But all the time I was confident there 
 was one waiting for me at home." 
 
 " Oh, yes, yes," said Kirsteen, as if it had 
 been her own tale. 
 
 *' The news from the army was slow in 
 those days, and there was many a mistake. 
 Word was sent home that I was killed when 
 I was but badly wounded. I had neither 
 father nor mother to inquire closely, and 
 everybody believed it, and she too. I believe 
 her friends were glad on the whole, for I was 
 a poor match for her. Her heart was nearly 
 broke, but she was very young and she got 
 over it, and, whether with her own will or 
 without it I cannot tell, but when I came 
 home at last it was her wedding-day." 
 
 " Oh ! " Kirsteen cried almost with a 
 shriek, ''was that the end of her waiting? 
 
 Me, I would have waited and waited on " 
 
 M 2
 
 i64 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 *' Wait now and ye will hear. The mar- 
 riage was just over when I came to her 
 father's house thinking no evil. And we 
 met ; and when she saw me, and that I was 
 a living man, and remembered the ring that 
 was on her finder and that she was another 
 man's wife — she went into her own maiden 
 chamber that she had never left and shut to 
 the door. And there she just died, and 
 never spoke another word." 
 
 "Oh, Glendochart ! " cried Kirsteen with 
 an anguish of sympathy, thinking of Ronald, 
 and of the poor dead bride, and of the sorrow 
 which seemed to her throbbing heart impos- 
 sible, as if anything so cruel could not have 
 been. She clasped his arm with both her 
 hands, looking up at him with all her heart 
 in her face. 
 
 *' My bonny dear!" he said with surprised 
 emotion, touching her clasped hands with his. 
 And then he began to talk of other things : 
 for they were in the ball-room, where, though 
 every one was absorbed in his or her own 
 pleasure, or else bitterly resenting the ab-
 
 IX. KIRSTEEN. 165 
 
 sence of the pleasure they expected, yet 
 there were a hundred eyes on the watch for 
 any incident. Kirsteen, in the warmth of 
 her roused feeHngs, thought nothing of that. 
 She was thinking of the other who was away 
 with his regiment, for who could tell how 
 many years — and for whom one was waiting 
 at home — one that would never put another 
 in his place, no, not for a moment, not what- 
 ever news miorht come !
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 "It was just a very bonny ball," said Mary. 
 " No, I was not disappointed at all. I danced 
 with young Mr. Campbell of the Haigh, and 
 once with old Glendochart, who is a very 
 well-mannered man, though he is not so 
 young as once he was." 
 
 *' He was by far, and by far, the nicest 
 there," cried KIrsteen with enthusiasm. 
 
 " For them that like an auld joe," said 
 Mary demurely. Kirsteen had no thought 
 of *'joes" old or young, but she thought 
 with pleasure that she had gained a friend. 
 
 '' The Duke took me for his daughter — 
 and oh ! if there was such a person she would 
 be a happy lass. Aunt Eelen, did you ever 
 hear "
 
 CHAP. X. KIRSTEEX. 167 
 
 Kirsteen cast a orlance round and checked 
 further question, for her father consuming a 
 delicate Loch Fyne herring, with his atten- 
 tion concentrated on his plate, and Mary 
 seated primly smiling over her scone, were 
 not at all In sympathy with the tale she had 
 been told last night. Miss Eelen, with the 
 tray before her on which stood the teapot 
 and teacups, peering Into each to count the 
 lumps of sugar she had placed there, did not 
 appear much more congenial, though there 
 were moments w^hen the old lady showed a 
 romantic side. No trace of the turban and 
 feathers of last night was on her venerable 
 head. She wore a muslin mutch, fine but 
 not much different from those of the old 
 wives in the cottaores, with a broad black 
 ribbon round it tied in a laro^e bow on the 
 top of her head ; and her shoulders were 
 enveloped in a warm tartan shawl pinned at 
 the neck with a silver brooch. The fringes 
 of the shawl had a way of getting entangled 
 In the tray, and swept the teaspoons to the 
 o-round when she made an Incautious move-

 meat ; but nothing would Induce Miss Eelen 
 to resign the tea-making into younger hands. 
 
 " Did I ever hear ? " she said. " I would 
 like to know, Kirsteen Douglas, what it is I 
 havena heard in my long pilgrimage of nigh 
 upon seventy years. But there's a time for 
 everything. If ye ask me at another moment 
 I'll tell ye the whole story. Is It you, Drum- 
 carro, that takes no sugar in your tea ? No 
 doubt you've had plenty In your time In 
 yon dreadful West Indies where you were 
 so long." 
 
 " What's dreadful about them ? " said 
 Drumcarro. " It's ignorance that makes ye 
 say so. Ye would think ye were In paradise 
 If ye were there." 
 
 *' Oh, never with all those meeserable 
 slaves ! " 
 
 '' You're just a set of Idiots with your pre- 
 judices," said the laird, who had finished 
 his herrings and pushed away his plate. 
 " Slaves, quo' she ! There's few of them 
 would change places, I can tell ye, with your 
 crofters and such like that ye call free men."
 
 X. KIRSTEEN. 169 
 
 "Ye were looking for something, father," 
 said Mary. 
 
 " I'm looking for that mutton bone," said 
 her father. '' Fish is a fine thing ; but there's 
 nothing like a bit of butcher's meat to begin 
 the day upon." 
 
 '•' It's my ain curing," said Miss Eelen. 
 "Ye can scarcely call it butcher's meat, and 
 it's just a leg of one of your own sheep, 
 Drumcarro. Cry upon the lassie, Kirsteen, 
 and she'll brinof it ben in a moment. We're 
 so used to womenfolk in this house, we just 
 forget a man's appetite. I can recommend 
 the eggs, for they're all our own laying. Two- 
 three hens just makes all the difference in a 
 house ; ye never perceive their feeding, and 
 there's aye a fresh egg for an occasion. And 
 so you were pleased with your ball ? I'm 
 glad of it, for it's often not the case when 
 lassies are young and have no acquaintance 
 with the world. They expect ower much. 
 They think they're to get all the attention 
 like the heroines in thae foolish story-books. 
 But that's a delusion that soon passes away.
 
 T70 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 And then you're thankful for what you get, 
 which is a far more wholesome frame of 
 mind." 
 
 Kirsteen assented to this with a grave 
 face, and a little sigh for the beautiful visions 
 of ideal pleasure which she had lost. 
 
 But Mary bridled, and declared that all her 
 expectations had been fulfilled. *' I got a 
 great deal of attention," she said, " and per- 
 haps I had not such grand fancies as other 
 folk." 
 
 '* I have bidden Glendochart to come and 
 see us at Drumcarro. Ye'll have to see to 
 the spare cha'amer, and that he gets a good 
 dinner," said Mr. Douglas. '' Him and me 
 we have many things in common. He's one 
 of the best of his name, with a good record 
 behind him — not to match with our auld 
 Douglas line, but nothing to snuff at, and 
 not far off the head of the house himsel'." 
 
 " You would be at the school together, 
 Drumcarro," Miss Eelen said. 
 
 " No such a thing — he's twenty years 
 younger than me," said Mr. Douglas angrily.
 
 KIRSTEEN. 171 
 
 " And I was at no schule, here or there, as 
 ye might well mind." 
 
 " Twenty years ! If there's ten between 
 ye that's the most of it. There's no ten be- 
 tween ye. When I was a young lass in my 
 teens John Campbell was a bit toddling bairn, 
 and ye were little mair, Drumcarro. Na, na, 
 ye need not tell me. If there's five, that's 
 the most. Ye mieht have been at the schule 
 together and nothing out of the common. 
 But he's had none of the cares of a family, 
 though maybe he has had as bad to bear ; 
 and a man that is not marriet has aye a 
 younger look. I ken not why, for with 
 women it's just the contrair." 
 
 '' Mr. Campbell is a very personable man," 
 said Mary. " I'm no judge of ages, but I 
 would say he was just in middle life." 
 
 " It's but little consequence what you say," 
 said her father roughly. ''If Kirsteen was 
 to express an opinion " 
 
 Kirsteen's mind had a little wandered 
 during this discussion. Glendochart's age 
 appeared to this young woman a subject
 
 172 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 quite unimportant. He was of the age of 
 all the fathers and old friends. Had she 
 been a modern girl she would have said he 
 was a darling, but no such liberties were 
 taken in her day. 
 
 " And that I will/' she said, " for we made 
 friends though I've only seen him one night. 
 He is just a man after my own heart," said 
 Kirsteen with warmth, with a sigh at the 
 thought of his sad story, and a rising colour 
 which was due to the fact that her imagina- 
 tion had linked the idea of young Ronald 
 with that of this old and delightful gentleman 
 who had been what her young lover was — 
 but born to a less happy fate. 
 
 '' Well," said Drumcarro, " now ye've 
 spoken, Kirsteen, ye've made no secret of 
 your feelings ; and, so far as I can judge, he 
 has just as fine an opinion of you. And if 
 you give your attention to making him com- 
 fortable and let him see the mettle you're of, 
 there is no saying what may happen. And 
 it's not me that will put obstacles in the 
 way."
 
 KIRSTEEN. 173 
 
 '' Drumcarro," cried Miss Eelen, " ye get 
 credit for sense among your own kind, but 
 if ever there was a donnered auld fool 
 in affairs of a certain description ! Cannot 
 ye hold your tongue, man, and let things 
 take their course ? They will do that 
 without either you or me." 
 
 Mr. Douglas had disposed of a great deal 
 of the mutton ham. He had made a very 
 good breakfast, and he felt himself free to 
 retire from the table with a final volley. 
 '' If you think," he said, " that I am going to 
 give up my mind to manage, as you women- 
 folks call it, and bring a thing about, and 
 draw on the man and fleech the lassie, ye are 
 just sair mistaken, Eelen. When I say a 
 word in my house I'm accustomed to see it 
 done, and no nonsense about it. If a man 
 comes seeking that I approve of, it's my 
 pleasure that he shall find what he's askin' 
 for. I'll have no picking and choosing. 
 Men are no so plenty, and lassies are just 
 a drug in the market. You have never got 
 a man yourself"
 
 174 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 " The Lord be praised ! " said Miss Eelen. 
 "I would have broken his heart, or he would 
 have broken mine. But I've kent them that 
 would have married me, Neil Douglas, if it 
 was for me or for my tocher I leave you to 
 judge. I'm thankful to think I was never 
 deceived for a moment," said the old lady 
 with a nod which sent the black bow upon 
 her head into a little convulsion of tremu- 
 lous movement. " I name nae names," she 
 said. 
 
 Drumcarro walked to the window discom- 
 fited, and turned his back upon the party, 
 looking out upon the village street. To tell 
 the truth he had forgotten that trifling inci- 
 dent in his life. To taunt a woman who has 
 refused you with never having got a man is 
 a little embarrassing, and his daughters ex- 
 changed astonished looks which he divined, 
 though it took place behind his back. Their 
 opinion did not interest him much, it is true, 
 but the thought that they had discovered 
 a humiliation in his past life filled him with 
 rage, insignificant as they were. He stood
 
 X. KIRSTEEN. 175 
 
 there for a moment swallowing his fury ; 
 then, " There's the gig," he said, thankful for 
 the diversion. " Ye'll better get on your things 
 and get back to your work, and mind your 
 mother and the concerns of the house instead 
 of senseless pleasure. But it's just what I 
 said, when ye begin that kind of thing there's 
 no end to it. When the head's once filled 
 with nonsense it's a business to get it out." 
 
 ''Well, father," said Mary, ''the ball's 
 done, and there is no other coming if w^e 
 were ever so anxious. So you need not be 
 feared. It's a little uncivil to Auntie Eelen 
 to rise up the moment w^e've swallowed our 
 breakfast." 
 
 " Oh, dinna take me into consideration," 
 said Miss Eelen. "Ye must do your father's 
 bidding, and I'll never lay it to your charge. 
 But you'll take a piece of yon fine seed cake 
 to your mother, poor thing, and some of the 
 bonny little biscuits that were round the 
 trifle at the supper. I just put them in my 
 pocket for her. It lets an invalid person see 
 the way that things are done — and a wheen
 
 176 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 oranges In a basket. She has very little to 
 divert her — though, poor thing, she has got 
 a man." 
 
 Drumcarro did not appear to take any 
 notice of this Parthian arrow, though he 
 fumed inwardly. And presently the girls' 
 preparations were made. The muslin dresses 
 did not take up so much room as ball-dresses 
 do nowadays, and had been carefully packed 
 early in the morning in a box which was to 
 go home by the cart in the afternoon. And 
 they tied on their brown bonnets and 
 fastened their cloth pelisses with an activity 
 becoming young persons who were of so 
 little account. To mount beside their father 
 in the gig, squeezed together in a seat only 
 made for two persons, and in which he 
 himself took an undiminished share, with a 
 basket upon their knees, and several parcels 
 at their feet, was not an unalloyed pleasure, 
 especially as he gave vent to various threats 
 of a vague description, and instantly stopped 
 either daughter who ventured to say a word. 
 But they had few pleasures In their life, and
 
 X. KIRSTEEN. 177 
 
 the drive home, even in these circumstances, 
 was not without its compensations. The 
 girls knew that every cottar woman who 
 came out to the door to see them pass was 
 aware that they had been at the ball at the 
 Castle, and looked after them with additional 
 respect. And even the shouting children 
 who ran after the gig and dared a cut of 
 Drumcarro's whip in their effort to hang on 
 behind amused them, and orave them a feel- 
 ing of pleased superiority. Coming home 
 from the ball — it was perhaps the best part 
 of it, after all. 
 
 When they were drawing near the house 
 their father made a speech to them which 
 Kirsteen at least listened to without alarm 
 but with much wonder. " Xow," he said, 
 suddenly, as if adding a last word to some- 
 thing said before, " I will have no nonsense 
 whatever you may think. If a man comes 
 to my door that I approve, Til have no 
 denial thrown into his teeth. You're all 
 ready enough when it's to your own fancy, but 
 by , this time I'll make ye respect mine."

 178 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 " What is It, father ? " said Kirsteen with 
 astonished eyes. 
 
 Mary gave her sister a smart poke with 
 her elbow. "We'll wait till we're asked 
 before we give any denial," she said. 
 
 " Ye shall give none whether or no," said 
 Drumcarro, unreasonably it must be allowed; 
 "but it's no you I'm thinking of," he added 
 with contempt. 
 
 Kirsteen felt herself deficient in Mary's 
 power of apprehension. It was not often 
 that this was the case, but her sister had 
 certainly the better of her now. There were 
 however many things said by Drumcarro to 
 which his family did not attach a great in- 
 terest, and she took it for granted that this 
 was one of the dark sayings and vague de- 
 clarations in which, when he was out of 
 humour, he was wont to indulge. Her heart 
 was not overwhelmed with any apprehension 
 when she jumped lightly down from the gig 
 glad to escape from these objurgations and 
 feeling the satisfaction of having news to tell, 
 and a revelation to make to the eager house-
 
 X. KIRSTEEN. 179 
 
 hold which turned out to the door to meet 
 her : Marg'ret in the front with cap-ribbons 
 streaming behind her and her white apron 
 folded over her arm, and little Jeanie with 
 her hair tumbled and in disorder, her mouth 
 and her ears open for every detail, with one 
 or two other heads in the background — they 
 had never seen the Castle, these ignorant 
 people, never been to a ball. The mortifica- 
 tions of the evening all melted away in the 
 delight of having so much to tell. Certainly 
 the coming home was the best ; it brought 
 back something of the roseate colour of the 
 setting out. And what a world of new 
 experiences and sensations had opened up 
 before Kirsteen since yesterday. 
 
 " Was it bonny ? " said little Jeanie. '' Did 
 you see all the grand folk ? Was it as fine 
 as ye thought ? " 
 
 And then Mrs. Douglas's voice was heard 
 from the parlour, " Come ben, come ben, this 
 moment, bairns. I will not have ye say a 
 word till ye're here." She was sitting up 
 with a delicate colour in her cheeks, her eyes 
 
 N 2
 
 I So KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 bright with anticipation. " Now just begin 
 at the beginning and tell me everything," 
 she said. Certainly the best of it was the 
 coming home. 
 
 Mary gave her little narrative with great 
 composure and precision, though it surprised 
 her sister. " Everybody was just very 
 attentive," she said. " It w^as clear to be 
 seen that the word had been passed who we 
 are. It was young Mr. Campbell of the 
 Haigh that took me out at the first, but I 
 just could not count them. They were most 
 ceevil. And once I saw young Lord John 
 looking very hard at me, as if he would like 
 to ask me, but there was no person to 
 introduce him. And so that passed by." 
 
 '' Oh, Mary, I wish ye had danced with a 
 lord and a duke's son," cried, little Jeanie, 
 clapping her hands. 
 
 *' Well, he was no great dancer," said Mary. 
 " I liked the young laird of the Haigh far 
 better, and even old Glendochart — but he 
 was Kirsteen's one." 
 
 '' He w^as the nicest of all," cried Kirsteen.
 
 X. KIRSTEEN. i8t 
 
 " But, Jeanle, ye should have seen all the 
 bonnie ladles with their diamonds like sparks 
 of light. You would have thought the 
 Duchess had stars on her head — all glinting 
 as they do in a frosty sky — and a circle about 
 her neck that looked just like the King's 
 Ellwand,^ but far more of them. It's not like 
 stones or things out of the earth, as folks say. 
 It's like wearing little pieces of light." 
 
 " Oh, I wish I had seen them," said 
 Jeanie. 
 
 ''Whisht, whisht. I've seen diamonds 
 many a time, but I never thought them like 
 pieces of light. They're more like bits of 
 glass, which I have seen just as bonny. 
 And who was it you danced with most, 
 Kirsteen ? You have not given us a 
 list like Mary." 
 
 " I danced with Glendochart," said Kir- 
 steen, looking down a little. '' I stood a long 
 time just looking about me. When you are 
 dancing you cannot see the rest of the ball, 
 and it was very bonny. Glendochart took 
 1 The belt of Orion.
 
 1 82 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 me into the tea-room and showed me all the 
 pictures and things." 
 
 " But Lord John never looked in that 
 fixed way at you ? " 
 
 " No," said Kirsteen very shortly, per- 
 ceiving that it was inexpedient to repeat 
 the little episode of Lord John. 
 
 *' Then ye were not so much taken notice 
 of as Mary ? " cried Jeanie with disappoint- 
 ment. 
 
 *' But she spoke to the Duke — or at least 
 he spoke to Glendochart when Kirsteen was 
 on his arm — and there was Lady Chatty that 
 made great friends with her," said Mary with 
 benevolence, not to leave her sister quite in 
 the background. But there was a momentary 
 pause of disappointment, for they all felt that 
 Lady Chatty was not so suggestive — had not 
 in her name so many possibilities as Lord 
 John. 
 
 " I hear of nothing but Glendochart," said 
 Mrs. Douglas ; '' if he is the man I mind 
 upon, he will be the same age as your father ; 
 and what was he doing dancing and hanging
 
 X. KIRSTEEN. 
 
 about the like of you, a man at his time of 
 life ? " 
 
 Mary gave a little laugh, and repeated, 
 ''He was Kirsteen's one." 
 
 *' What is the meaning of that, Kirsteen ? " 
 
 " The meaning of it is that Glendochart, 
 tho' he is old, is a real gentleman," said 
 Kirsteen ; " and he saw that we were strangers 
 and neglected, and nobody looking the way 
 we were on — " 
 
 At this there was an outcry that drowned 
 the rest of the sentence. Strangers, the 
 daughters of Drumcarro ! — neglected when 
 Mary had just said how attentive everybody 
 had been ! '' You are just in one of your ill 
 keys, Kirsteen," said her mother. 
 
 '' No," said Mary, *' but she's looking for 
 him to-morrow : for my father has asked him, 
 and she is feared you will not like him when 
 ye see him. But my opinion is, though he is 
 old, that he is still a very personable man."
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 A FEW days afterwards Glendochart ap- 
 peared at Drumcarro riding a fine horse, and 
 dressed with great care, in a costume very 
 different from the rough and ill-made country 
 clothes to which the family were accustomed. 
 Jock and Jeanie who had come home from 
 school rushed emulously to take the horse to 
 the stable, and the household was stirred to 
 its depths with the unaccustomed sensation 
 of a visitor, a personage of importance bring- 
 ing something of the air of the great world 
 with him. He was conducted to the laird's 
 room by Marg'ret herself, much interested in 
 the stranger — and there remained for a short 
 time to the great curiosity of the family, all 
 of whom were engaged in conjectures as to
 
 CHAP. XI. KIRSTEEN. 185 
 
 what was being said within those walls, all 
 but Kirsteen, who, being as it appeared most 
 closely concerned, had as yet awakened to no 
 alarm on the subject, and assured her mother 
 quietly that there was nothing to be fluttered 
 about. '' For he is just very pleasant, and 
 makes you feel at home, and like a friend," 
 she said. Mrs. Douglas had come down to 
 the parlour earlier than usual in expectation 
 of this visit. She had put on her best cap ; 
 and there was a little fresh colour of excite- 
 ment in her cheeks. " But what will he be 
 saying to your father ? " she said. " Sitting 
 so long together, and them so little acquainted 
 with each other." 
 
 " Oh, but they were at the school together, 
 and at the ball they were great friends," 
 replied Kirsteen. She was the only one 
 about whom there was no excitement. She 
 sat quite cheerfully over her work '' paying 
 no attention," as Mary said. 
 
 '' Why should I pay attention ? I will just 
 be very glad to see him," replied Kirsteen. 
 *' He is just the kind of person I like best."
 
 i86 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 "Whisht, Kirsteen, whatever you may feel 
 ye must not go just so far as that." 
 
 " But it's true, mother, and why should I 
 not go so far ? He's a very nice man. If he 
 had daughters they would be well off. He 
 is so kind, and he sees through you, and 
 sees what you are thinking of." 
 
 "You must not let him see what you are 
 thinking of, Kirsteen ! " 
 
 "Why not?" she said, glancing up with 
 candid looks. But after a moment a vivid 
 colour came over Kirsteen's milk-white fore- 
 head. Then a smile went over it like a 
 sudden ray of sunshine. " I would not be 
 feared," she cried, " for he would understand." 
 She was thinking of his own story which he 
 had told her, and of the one who was like 
 him, away in a far distant country. How 
 well he would understand it ! and herself who 
 was waiting, more faithful than the poor lady 
 who had not waited long enough. Oh, but 
 that should never be said of Kirsteen ! 
 
 Presently the two gentlemen were seen 
 to be walking round the place, Drumcarro
 
 XI. KIRSTEEN. 187 
 
 showing to his visitor all that there was to 
 show in the way of garden and stables and 
 farm offices, which was not much. But still 
 this was the right thing for one country 
 gentleman to do to another. The ladies 
 watched them from the window not without 
 an acute sense of the shortcomings of the 
 place, and that there was no horse in the 
 stable that could stand a moment's comparison 
 with Mr. Campbell of Glendochart's beautiful 
 beast. Drumcarro was a house in the wilds, 
 standing on a grassy bank without so much 
 as a flower plot near, or any ** grounds" or 
 "policy," or even garden to separate and 
 enclose it, and a sense of its shabbiness and 
 poverty came into the minds of all, instinc- 
 tively, involuntarily. "If that's what he's 
 thinking of he will never mind," Mrs. 
 Douglas said under her breath. " Whisht, 
 mother," said Mary. Kirsteen did not even 
 ask Mary what her mother meant. Mrs. 
 Douglas indeed said a great many things 
 that meant little or nothing, but this did not 
 quite explain the fatal unconsciousness of the
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 girl upon whose preoccupied ear all these 
 warnings seemed to fall in vain. 
 
 The dinner had been prepared with more 
 than usual care, and Marg'ret herself carried 
 in several of the dishes in order to make a 
 further inspection of the visitor. She had 
 not been precisely taken into anybody's con- 
 fidence, and yet she knew very well that he 
 had come more or less in the capacity of a 
 suitor, and that Drumcarro's extreme polite- 
 ness and the anxiety he displayed to please and 
 propitiate the stranger were not for nothing. 
 Marg'ret said to herself that if it had been 
 anybody but the laird, she would have thought 
 it was a question of borrowing money, but she 
 knew that Drumcarro would rather die than 
 borrow, with a horror and hatred not only of 
 debt but of the interest he must have had to 
 pay. So it could not be that ; nor was the 
 other gentleman who was so well preserved, 
 so trim, " so weel put on," at all like a money- 
 lender. It became clear to her, as she 
 appeared in the dining-room at intervals, 
 what the real meaning was. Glendochart
 
 XI. KIRSTEEN. 189 
 
 had been placed next to Kirsteen at table, 
 and when he was not disturbed by the 
 constant appeals of Drumcarro, he talked to 
 her with an evident satisfaction which half 
 flattered, half disgusted the anxious spectator. 
 He was a real gentleman, and it was a 
 compliment to Miss Kirsteen that a man who 
 had no doubt seen the world and kings' 
 courts and many fine places should distinguish 
 her so — while on the other hand the thouo^ht 
 
 o 
 
 was dreadful that, in all her bloom of youth, 
 Kirsteen should be destined to a man old 
 enough to be her father. As old as her 
 father ! and she so blooming and so young. 
 But Marg'retwas perhaps the only one in the 
 party who thought so. The others were all 
 excited by various interests of their own, 
 which might be affected by this union be- 
 tween January and May. Mrs. Douglas, 
 with that fresh tint of excitement on her 
 cheeks, was wholly occupied by the thought 
 of having a married daughter near her, within 
 her reach, with all the eventualities of a new 
 household to occupy and give new interest to
 
 ipo KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 life ; and Mary with a sense that her sister s 
 house to visit, in which there would be plenty 
 of company and plenty of money, and op- 
 portunity of setting herself forth to the best 
 advantage, would be like a new existence. 
 The young ones did not know what it was 
 that was expected to happen, but they too 
 were stirred by the novelty and the grand 
 horse in the stable, and Glendochart's fine 
 riding-coat and silver-mounted whip. Kir- 
 steen herself was the only one unexcited and 
 natural. There was little wonder that 
 Glendochart liked her to talk to him. She 
 was eager to run out with him after dinner, 
 calling to little Jeanie to come too to show 
 him the den, as it was called, where the burn 
 tumbled over successive steps of rock into a 
 deep ravine, throwing up clouds of spray. 
 She took care of the old gentleman with a 
 frank and simple sense that it was not he but 
 she who was the best able to guide and guard 
 the other, and used precautions to secure him 
 a firm footing among the slippery rocks with- 
 out a single embarrassing thought of that
 
 XI. KIRSTEEN. 191 
 
 change of the relationship between old and 
 young which is made by the fictitious equality 
 of a possible marriage. Far, very far were 
 Kirsteen's thoughts from anything of the 
 kind. She felt very tenderly towards him 
 because of the tragedy he had told her of, and 
 because he had gone away like Ronald, and 
 had trusted in some one less sure to wait 
 than herself. The very sight of Glendochart 
 was an argument to Kirsteen, making her 
 more sure that she never could waver, nor 
 ever would foreet. 
 
 When they came back from this expedition 
 to the dish of tea which was served before 
 the visitor set out again, Mrs. Douglas exerted 
 herself to fill out the cups, a thing she had not 
 been known to do for years. '' Indeed," she 
 said, '* I have heard of nothing but Mr. 
 Campbell since they came back from the ball : 
 it has been Glendochart this and Glendochart 
 that all the time, and it would ill become me 
 not to show my gratitude. For I'm but a 
 weak woman, not able myself to go out with 
 my daughters ; and they are never so well
 
 192 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 i> 
 
 seen to, Mr. Campbell, when they are without 
 a mother's eye." 
 
 Drumcarro uttered a loud " Humph ! " of 
 protest when this bold principle was enunciat- 
 ed ; but he dared not contradict his wife, or 
 laugh her to scorn in the presence of a visitor 
 so particular and precise. 
 
 *' You might trust these young ladies, 
 madam," said Glendochart gallantly, " in any 
 company without fear ; for their modest looks 
 would check any boldness, whatever their 
 beauty might call forth." 
 
 This was still the day of compliments, and 
 Glendochart was an old beau and had the 
 habits of his race. 
 
 '* Oh, you are very kind," said Mrs. 
 Douglas, her faint colour rising, her whole 
 being inspired. " If gentlemen were all 
 like you, there would be little reason 
 for any uneasiness ; but that is more than 
 we can expect, and to trust your bairns 
 to another's guidance is always a very heavy 
 thouQfht." 
 
 ** Madam, you will soon have to trust them
 
 XI. KIRSTEEN. 193 
 
 to the guidance of husbands, there can be 
 little doubt." 
 
 " But that's very different : for then a 
 parent is free of responsibility," said the 
 mother, rising to the occasion ; " that is just 
 the course of nature. And if they are so 
 happy as to chance upon good, serious. God- 
 fearing men." 
 
 " Let us hope," said Glendochart, not with- 
 out a glance at Kirsteen, '' that your bonny 
 young misses will be content with that sober 
 denomination ; but they will no doubt add 
 for themselves, young and handsome and 
 
 gay." 
 
 '' No, no," Mrs. Douglas said, led away by 
 enthusiasm, *' you will hear no such wishes 
 out of the mouths of lassies of mine." 
 
 " Let them answer for themselves," said 
 Drumcarro, '' they're old enough : or maybe 
 they will wait till they're asked, which would 
 be the wisest way. Glendochart, I am very 
 sorry to name it and if ye would take a bed 
 with us, I would be most pleased. But if 
 you're determined to go to-day, I must warn 
 VOL. I. o
 
 194 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 ye the days are short and it's late enough 
 to get dayhght on the ford." 
 
 ** If ye would take a bed — " Mrs. Douglas 
 repeated. 
 
 The visitor protested that he was much 
 obliged but that he must go. " But I will 
 take your permission to come again," he said, 
 " and my only fear is that you will see too 
 much of me, for there are strong temptations 
 here." 
 
 '' Ye cannot come too often nor stay too 
 long ; and the more we see of you, the more 
 we will be pleased/' said the mistress of the 
 house. And the girls went out to see him 
 mount his horse, which the boys had gone to 
 fetch from the stable. Never was a visitor 
 more honoured. A third person no doubt 
 might have thought the welcome excessive 
 and the sudden interest in so recent an ac- 
 quaintance remarkable. But no one, or at 
 least very few are likely to consider them- 
 selves and the civilities shown to them in the 
 same light as an impartial spectator would do. 
 It seems always natural that friends new or
 
 XI. KIRSTEEN. 195 
 
 old should lavish civilities upon ourselves. 
 Glendochart rode away with a glow of 
 pleasure. He was not at all afraid of the 
 ford, dark or light. He was as safe in his 
 saddle as he ever had been, and had no fear 
 of taking cold or getting damp. He feared 
 neither rheumatism nor bronchitis. He said 
 to himself, as he trotted steadily on, that fifty- 
 five was the prime of life. He was a little 
 over that golden age, but not much, nothing to 
 count ; and if really that bonny Kirsteen with 
 her Highland bloom, and her fine spirits, and 
 her sense — It was a long time since that 
 tragedy of which he had told her. Perhaps, 
 as his Grace had said, it was never too late. 
 
 " Ye havering woman," said Drumcarro to 
 his wife, '' you are just like your silly kind. I 
 would not wonder if going so fast ye had 
 not just frightened the man away." 
 
 '* I said nothing but what ye said I was to 
 say," said Mrs. Douglas, still strong in her 
 excitement ; " and it was never me that 
 began it, and if him and you are so keen, it's 
 not for me to put obstacles in the way." 
 
 o 2
 
 196 KIRSTEEN. CH. xi. 
 
 IVunicarro stood for a momont astonished 
 that his feeble wife should venture to indulo^e 
 in a personal effort even when it was in his 
 own aid : then he oave a shrug of his shoulders. 
 ' * A man knows when to speak and when to 
 refrain from speaking," he said ; '* but you 
 womenfolk, like gabbling geese ye can never 
 keep still if once you ha\'e anything to cackle 
 about."
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 All this time, strange to say, Kirsteen 
 took no fright about old Glendochart whom 
 she had calmly set down, as is not unusual 
 at her age, upon the footing of a man of 
 eighty or so, an old, old gentleman to whom 
 she could be as kind as her friendly young 
 soul dictated, giving him her hand to lead 
 him down the rough road to the linn,, and 
 feeling with her foot if the stones wer^ steady 
 before she let him trust his weight to them. 
 It had been quite natural to come out to the 
 door to see him mount and ride away, to 
 stroke and pat the shining well-groomed 
 horse, who looked as great an aristocrat as 
 his master beside the sober and respectable 
 matron Mally, who drew the gig and some-
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 times the cart, and had carried barebacked 
 all the children at once as carefully as if she 
 had been their mother. Kirsteen was even 
 pleased with the sense that she herself was 
 Glendochart's favourite, that he had talked 
 more to her than to any one, perhaps even 
 had come to see her rather than the rest, 
 with the pleasant partiality of an old friend. 
 To be preferred is delightful to everybody, 
 and especially to a girl who has had little 
 petting in her life. It was an exhilarating 
 consciousness, and she took the little jibes 
 that flew about in the family and the laugh of 
 Mary and the shout of the boys with perfect 
 good humour. Yes, very likely Glendochart 
 liked her best. He was a true gentleman, 
 and he had seen her standing neglected and 
 had come to her help. But for him the ball, 
 if indeed always an experience and a fine 
 sight, would have left only a sting in Kir- 
 steen's mind instead of the impression bitter- 
 sweet which it had produced. If she were 
 glad now that she had gone, and pleased 
 with the sight and the fact of having been
 
 xn. KIRSTEEN. 199 
 
 there, it was to Glendochart chiefly that the 
 credit was due. She had taken him into her 
 heart warmly in the position of an old friend, 
 an old, kind, and true gentleman whom she 
 would always run to meet and brighten to 
 see. In this easy state of mind, pleased with 
 him and even better pleased with herself be- 
 cause of his liking for her, she received calmly 
 all the family jests, quite satisfied that they 
 were true. 
 
 Glendochart became a frequent visitor. 
 He would ride over, or sometimes drive 
 over, in a high gig much better appointed 
 than the old gig at Drumcarro, saying that 
 he had come ''to his dinner" or to eat one 
 of Marg'ret's scones, or to see how they all 
 were this cold weather. And he would per- 
 mit Jock to drive the gig for a mile or two to 
 the boy's delight, though it took all the 
 strength of his young wrists to hold in the 
 horse. Once even upon a great occasion 
 Glendochart managed to persuade Drumcarro, 
 who was ready to attend to all his sugges- 
 tions, to bring the girls to a great hurling-
 
 200 
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 match, at which — for he was a master of the 
 game — he himself appeared to great advan- 
 tage and not at all like the old, old gentleman 
 of Kirsteen's thoughts. And when the New 
 Year came he brought them all '' fairings," 
 beautiful boxes of sweets such as had never 
 been seen in the Highlands, and gloves 
 wonderful to behold, which he begged Mrs. 
 Douglas's permission to offer to her daughters. 
 These visits and his pleasant ways, and the 
 little excitement of his arrival from time to 
 time, and the hurling-match which afforded a 
 subject of conversation for a long time, and 
 the little presents, all quickened existence at 
 Drumcarro, and made life more pleasant for 
 all concerned. Kirsteen had taken him by 
 this time for many a walk to the edge of the 
 linn, springing down before him, by the side 
 of the waterfall, to point out which of the 
 stepping-stones were safe to trust to. 
 
 '' Put your foot here, and it is quite steady, 
 but take care of that moss, Glendochart, for 
 it's very soft, and I've nearly sunk into it," 
 she would call to him stopping in mid-descent,
 
 XII. KIRSTEEN. 
 
 her young voice raised clear above the roar 
 of the water, and her hand held out to help. 
 If there was one thing that fretted the elderly- 
 suitor it was this, and sometimes he would 
 make a spring to show his agility, not always 
 with successful results. ''You see you should 
 do as I bid you," said Kirsteen gravely, help- 
 ing him to get up on one such occasion, 
 " and let me try first whether it will bear 
 you or not." 
 
 " I will always do as you bid me," said the 
 old gentleman, trying to look younger and 
 younger and as if he did not mind the fall at 
 all ; " but it is my part to take care of you, 
 and not you of me." 
 
 " Oh, no, not when the moss is so wet and 
 the stones so shoogly," Kirsteen said. 
 
 All this was very pretty fooling; but 
 Drumcarro was not the man to be kept 
 hanging upon the chances of a propitious 
 moment when it might please the wooer to 
 make the leap. The additional cheerfulness 
 of the household did not extend to him. He 
 became very tired of Glendochart's "daid-
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 ling," and of the over-delicacy of his atten- 
 tions. His eyes grew fiery and his grizzled 
 eyebrows menacing„ He would come into 
 the parlour where the visitor was making 
 himself very agreeable, keeping up the 
 pleasantest conversation, paying compliments 
 to Mrs. Douglas (whose health had greatly 
 improved at this period), and with a devotion 
 which was half fatherly, though he had no 
 such intention, distinguishing Kirsteen who 
 was always pleased to think that he liked her 
 best. Drumcarro would come in with his 
 hands thrust into the depths of his pockets, 
 and his shoulders up to his ears. " Are ye 
 not tired yet of the weemen, Glendochart ? 
 Weel, I would not sit there phrasin' and 
 smilin', not for a king's ransom." ** Perhaps, 
 my friend, I'm getting more than any king's 
 ransom, for what could buy such kind looks ? " 
 the old beau would reply. And then Drum- 
 carro, with an oath muttered under his breath, 
 would fling out again, not concealing his 
 impatience, '* I cannot put up with such 
 daidling ! " Whether Glendochart under-
 
 XII. KIRSTEEN. 203 
 
 stood, or whether his host took the matter 
 into his own hands, never was known by the 
 female portion of the household. But one 
 morning shortly after the New Year, Glen- 
 dochart having paid a long visit on the day 
 before, Kirsteen received a most unexpected 
 summons to attend her father in his own 
 room. 
 
 " My father wants to speak to me ! You 
 are just sending me a gowk's errand," she 
 said to Jock who brought the message. 
 
 " It's no a gowk's errand. It's just as true 
 as death," said Jock. '' He's sent me hissel'." 
 
 " And what can he want to say to me in 
 his own room ? " cried Kirsteen. 
 
 " He did not tell me what he wanted to 
 say ; but I can guess what it is," said Jock. 
 
 " And so can I," said Jeanie. 
 
 "What is it, ye little mischief?" cried 
 Kirsteen. " I have done nothing. I have a 
 conscience void of offence, which is more 
 than you can say." 
 
 Upon this they both gave vent to a burst 
 of laughter loud and long.
 
 204 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 *' It's about your auld joe, Kirsteen. It's 
 about Glendochart," they cried in concert. 
 
 '' About Glendochart ? — he is just my 
 great friend, but there is no harm in that," 
 she cried. 
 
 " Oh, Kirsteen, just take him, and I'll 
 come and live with ye," said Jeanie. 
 
 ''And I'll come," added Jock encourag- 
 ingly, ''whenever we have the play." 
 
 " Take him ! " said Kirsteen. She bade 
 them with great dignity to hold their tongues 
 and went to her father's room with consterna- 
 tion in her breast. 
 
 Mr. Douglas was sitting over his news- 
 paper with the air of being very much 
 absorbed in it. It was no less than a 
 London paper, a copy of the Twzes which 
 Glendochart had brought, which had been 
 sent to him from London with the news 
 of the escape of Boney, news that made 
 Drumcarro wild to think that Jock was but 
 fourteen and could not be sent off at once 
 with such chances of promotion as a new war 
 would bring. He had given the lad a kick
 
 XII. KIRSTEEN. 205 
 
 with a " Useless monkey ! Can ye not grow 
 a little faster ; " as Jock had clattered up to 
 bed in his country shoes the previous night. 
 But he was not reading, though he pretended 
 still to be buried in the paper when Kirsteen 
 came in. He took no notice of her till she 
 had been standing for a minute before him 
 repeating, "Did you want me, father?" 
 when he looked up, as if surprised. 
 
 " Oh, you're there. I calculated ye would 
 take an hour to come." 
 
 '' Jock said you wanted to speak to me, 
 father." 
 
 *' And so I did — but you might have had 
 to put your gown on, or to brush your hair 
 or something — for anything I knew." 
 
 " I never do that at this time of the 
 day." 
 
 " Am I to mind your times of day ? 
 Kirsteen, I have something to say to 
 you." 
 
 '' So Jock told me, father." 
 
 *' Never mind what Jock told ye. It is 
 perhaps the most serious moment of all
 
 2o6 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 your life ; or I might say it's the beginning 
 of your Hfe, for with the care that has been 
 taken of ye, keepit from the cold and shadit 
 from the heat, and your meat provided and 
 everything you could require — the like of 
 you doesn't know what life is as long as 
 ye bide in your father's house." 
 
 Kirsteen's heart gave a throb of opposi- 
 tion, but she did not say or scarcely think 
 that this position of blessedness had never 
 been hers. She was not prepared to blas- 
 pheme her father's house. 
 
 ''Well! now that's all changed, and ye'll 
 have to think of acting for yourself. And ye 
 are a very lucky lass, chosen before your 
 sister, who is the eldest, and according to 
 
 the law of Laban But I think he was 
 
 too particular. What the deevil maittered 
 which of them was to go first so long as 
 he got them both safe off his hands ? " 
 
 *' I have no light," said Kirsteen with 
 suppressed impatience, '' as to what you're 
 meaning, father ! " 
 
 '' Oh, ye have no light ! Then I'll give
 
 XII. KIRSTEEN. 207 
 
 ye one, and a fine one, and one that should 
 make ye thankful to me all your days. I've 
 settled it all with Glendochart. I thought he 
 was but a daidlin' body, but that was in 
 appearance, not in reality. He's just very 
 willing to come to the point." 
 
 Kirsteen said nothing, but she clasped 
 her hands before her with a gesture which 
 was Marg'ret's, and which had long been 
 known to the young people as a sign of 
 immovable determination. She did not 
 adopt it consciously, but with the true 
 instinct of hereditary action, an impulse so 
 much misrepresented in later days. 
 
 '' Very willing," said Drumcarro, " to come 
 to the point ; and all the settlements just 
 very satisfactory. Ye will be a lucky woman. 
 Ye're to have Glendochart estates for your 
 life, with remainder, as is natural, to any 
 family there may be ; and it's a very fine 
 downsitting, a great deal better house than 
 this, and a heap of arable land. And ye're 
 to have " 
 
 '' For what am I to have all this, father ? "
 
 2o8 KIRSTEEN. chap 
 
 said Kirsteen in a low voice with a tremble 
 in it, but not of weakness. 
 
 " For what are ye to have it ? " He gave 
 a rude laugh. '' For yourself I suppose I 
 must say, though I would think any woman 
 dear at the price he's willing to pay for ye." 
 
 "And what does Glendochart want with 
 me ? " said Kirsteen with an effort to steady 
 her voice. 
 
 '' Ye fool ! But you're not the fool ye 
 pretend to be. I cannot wonder that you're 
 surprised. He wants to mairry ye," her 
 father said. 
 
 Kirsteen stood with her hands clasped, 
 her fine figure swayed in spite of her with 
 a wave of agitation, her features moving. 
 '' Glendochart ! " she said. " Father, if he 
 has friends ye should warn them to keep 
 him better and take care of him, and not 
 let him be a trouble to young women about 
 the country that never did any harm to him." 
 
 " Young women," said Drumcarro, '' there 
 is not one I ever heard of except yourself, 
 ye thankless jaud ! "
 
 XII. KIRSTEEN. 209 
 
 "One is plenty to try to make a fool of," 
 said Kirsteen. 
 
 *' I would like to see him make a fool of 
 one belonging to me. Na, it's the other way. 
 But that's enough of this nonsense," he 
 added abruptly ; " it's all settled. Ye can 
 go and tell your mother. He's away for 
 a week on business, and when he comes 
 back ye'll settle the day. And let it be as 
 soon as possible, that we may be done wi't. 
 It's been as much as I could do to put up 
 with it all this time. Now let any man say 
 I've done much for my sons and little for 
 my daughters ! " said Drumcarro, stretching 
 his arms above his head with a gesture of 
 fatigue. *' I've got them their commissions 
 and outfit and all for less trouble than it 
 has cost me to get one of you a man ! " 
 He yawned ostentatiously and rubbed his 
 eyes, then opening them again to see 
 Kirsteen still standing in the same attitude 
 before him he gave vent to a roar of 
 dismissal. " G'away with ye. Go and tell 
 your mother. I've said all I have to say." 
 
 VOL. I. p
 
 2 CO KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 '' But I have something more to say," 
 said Kirsteen. *' I'll not marry Glendochart. 
 It's just been a mistake, and I'm sorry, 
 but " 
 
 ''You'll not mairry Glendochart! Ye shall 
 marry whatever man I choose for ye." 
 
 *' No, father ! " said Kirsteen clasping her 
 hands more closely. 
 
 " No ! " he said, pushing back his chair. 
 He was honestly astonished, taken com- 
 pletely by surprise. ** No ! Lord, but ye 
 shall though when I say it. And what ails 
 ye at Glendochart ? And him running 
 after ye like a fool the whole winter, and 
 nothing but pleasant looks for him till 
 now." 
 
 *' I'm very sorry," repeated Kirsteen. 
 " I'm very sorry — I never, never thought 
 of that. He's an old man, and it seemed all 
 kindness to one as much as another. Oh, 
 I'm sorry, father. Tell him, I would not 
 have vexed him for the world." 
 
 *' I'll tell him no such thing. I'll tell him 
 ye're very proud and pleased, as sets ye
 
 XII. KIRSTEEN. 211 
 
 better ; and I'll take you to Glasgow to buy 
 your wedding-gown." He said this with an 
 attempt at seduction, perhaps a little startled 
 by the first idea that to subdue Kirsteen by 
 violence would not be so easy as he thought. 
 
 '' Father, you're meaning it for great 
 kindness ; but oh, if ye would just under- 
 stand ! I cannot marry Glendochart. I 
 could not if there was no other man." 
 
 '' It is just Glendochart ye shall marry 
 and no other. It's all settled. You have 
 nothing more to do with it but what I've 
 promised and fixed for ye." 
 
 ''No, father " 
 
 " But I say yes," he said, bringing down 
 his clenched fist on the table with a noise 
 that made the window^s ring. 
 
 '' It cannot be settled without me," said 
 Kirsteen, growing first red and then pale, 
 but standing firm. 
 
 " You're not of the least importance," he 
 said, foam flying from his lips. " What are 
 ye ? A creature of no account. A lass that 
 has to obey her father till she gets a man, 
 
 p 2
 
 212 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 and then to obey him. Say what ye like, 
 or do what ye like, It will never alter a thing 
 I've fixed upon ; and of that ye may be as 
 sure as that you stand there. G'away to 
 your mother, and tell her it's to be soon, 
 In a month or so, to get done with it — for 
 I've made up my mind." 
 
 KIrsteen stood silent for a moment, not 
 daunted but bewildered, feeling with a force 
 which no girl in her situation would now 
 recognize the helplessness of her position, 
 not a creature to take her part, seeing no 
 outlet. She burst forth suddenly when a 
 new idea occurred to her. " I will speak 
 to him mxyself ! He is a good man, he will 
 never hold me to it. I will tell him " 
 
 ** If ye say a word to him," cried Drum- 
 carro rising from his chair and shaking his 
 clenched hand in her face, *' one word ! I'll 
 just kill ye where ye stand ! I'll drive ye 
 from my doors. Neither bit nor sup more 
 shall ye have in this house. Ye may go and 
 tramp from door to door with a meal-pack on 
 your shoulder."
 
 XII. KIRSTEEN. 213 
 
 *' I would rather do that," cried Kirsteen, 
 " far rather than make a false promise and 
 deceive a good man. Oh, father, I'll do any- 
 thing ye bid me. I'll be your servant, I'll 
 ask for nothing ; but dinna, dinna do this ! 
 for I will not marry Glendochart, not if you 
 were to kill me, not if you were to turn me 
 from the door." 
 
 " Hold your peace, ye lang-tongued — ye 
 shall do what I bid you, that and nothing else." 
 
 " No, father, no, father ! " cried Kirsteen 
 tremblino^ ; ''I will not — for nothino^ in the 
 world." 
 
 *' Go out of my sight," he cried, " and hold 
 your tongue. Away this moment ! Ye shall 
 do just what I say." 
 
 '' Father " 
 
 '* None of your fathers to me. Get out 
 of my sight, and make yourself ready to do 
 what I tell ye. It shall be in a fortnight. 
 That's all you shall make by your rebellion. 
 Not another word, or I'll turn you out of 
 my house." 
 
 Kirsteen retired as he made a step towards
 
 2T4 KIRSTEEN. ch. xii. 
 
 her with his hands raised to her shoulders, to 
 put her out. His fiery eyes, the foam that 
 flew from his lips, the fury of his aspect 
 frightened her. She turned and fled from 
 the room without any further attempt to 
 speak.
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 KiRSTEEN rushed out of the house with 
 the instinct of passion, to shake off all re- 
 straint, to get into the free air, where an 
 oppressed bosom might get breath. She 
 flew like a hunted deer, flashing past the 
 window where Mary, sitting at her seam, saw 
 her hurried escape and divined more or less 
 what was the meaning of it. 
 
 "Who's that?" said Mrs. Douglas, con- 
 scious of the flying shadow. 
 
 '' It's Kirsteen, and my father will have 
 told her, and she's just beside herself." 
 
 "Beside herself!" said the mother tran- 
 quilly over her knitting. *' She may well be 
 that ; for who would have thought of such a 
 prospect for the like of her, at her age."
 
 2i6 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 Mary was not so sure that the agitation 
 was that of joy, but she said nothing. And 
 Kirsteen was out of sight in a moment, 
 darting by. 
 
 She went towards the linn, without know- 
 ing why. The stream was strong with the 
 winter floods, and the roar of it as it poured 
 down the rocky cleft was enough to make all 
 voices inaudible, and to deaden more or less 
 even the sound of one's thoughts buzzing in 
 one's head with the passion and the sweep 
 of them, themselves like a hurrying stream. 
 Kirsteen fled as to a covert to the " den," 
 down which this passionate rivulet, swollen 
 into a torrent, stormed and poured, flinging 
 its spray over the wet and spongy turf into 
 which her feet sank. She cared nothing for 
 this in the absorption of her excitement, and 
 flung herself down upon that damp slope, 
 feeling the spray on her forehead and the roar 
 of the water in her ears as a sort of relief 
 from herself Her feelings had been like to 
 burst her heart and her brain together as she 
 flew along, like some struggling things shut
 
 XIII. KIRSTEEN. 217 
 
 up in a space too narrow for them. She 
 could not get her breath nor contain the 
 hurry and confusion of her own being. But 
 in that damp retreat where nobody would be 
 likely to pursue her, where she could scarcely 
 even hear the thumping of her own heart nor 
 any voice calling her, nor be subject to inter- 
 ruption of any kind, Kirsteen after a moment 
 began to come to herself. The shock, the 
 fright, the horror quieted a little ; her mind 
 became accustomed, as it does so rapidly, to 
 the new alarm, to the frightful danger which 
 had suddenly revealed itself. It was a danger 
 which Kirsteen had not expected or foreseen. 
 She had very well understood when she 
 pledged herself to wait for Ronald what 
 that meant. It was In all the traditions of 
 romance with which she was acquainted — 
 not waiting relieved by constant communica- 
 tion, and with a certain distinct boundary, 
 but silent, unbroken, perhaps for life, certainly 
 for years. In the beginning at least such 
 a visionary burden may be taken up with 
 enthusiasm, and Kirsteen had been proud of
 
 2iS KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 it and of the deep secret of which there was 
 nothing to tell, which was in spirit alone, with 
 no bond to be displayed in the sight of men. 
 But it had never occurred to her that she 
 might be bidden to forswear herself as she 
 said, that she might have to struggle against 
 all about her for the right to keep her vow. 
 This danger had never appeared before her 
 as a possibility. She had not thought of any 
 wooer, nor had any such presented himself 
 to her consciousness. Without warning, with- 
 out thought of precaution or self-defence, the 
 danger had come. 
 
 To marry Glendochart : Glendochart — 
 there burst through Kirsteen's distressful 
 thoughts a sudden picture of the old gentle- 
 man descending the side of the linn guided 
 by her hand, the safe places selected for him ; 
 and then his little plunge, his slip, her cry, 
 *' Oh, Glendochart, you have hurt yourself! " 
 and there burst from her in the midst of her 
 trouble an irrepressible laugh, which rang 
 into the roar of the linn and went down with 
 it into the depths echoing among all the
 
 XIII. KIRSTEEN. 219 
 
 rocks. KIrsteen had been ashamed to laugh 
 when that accident happened for fear of hurt- 
 ing his feehngs, but all the ludicrousness of 
 the incident burst upon her now. He had 
 got so red, poor old gentleman ! he had seized 
 upon a thorn bush to pull him up, rather than 
 take her hand. He had said that it was 
 nothing, nothing, though her keen young 
 senses, compunctious of their own percep- 
 tions, had seen how he limped up the bank 
 again. She had not dared to offer her sup- 
 port any more than to laugh, seeing it hurt 
 his feelings. And it was because he wanted 
 to marry her, her — Kirsteen, troth-plighted 
 to her own lad — and him as old as her father. 
 Oh, for shame, for shame ! 
 
 That laugh did Kirsteen good. It liber- 
 ated her soul ; she escaped as from the hand 
 of fate and became able to think. And then 
 a wild anger swept over her mind against her 
 father, who wanted nothing but to get her, 
 as he said, off his hands, and against Glen- 
 dochart for daring to think that she would 
 take him, an old, old man. All the sense of
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 his kindness disappeared in this illumination 
 as to his motives : indeed the more Kirsteen 
 esteemed him before, the more she despised 
 and hated him now. She thought of auld 
 Robin Gray, but that was too good for him. 
 The old, ill man, to tell her a story of faith- 
 fulness and make her cry and mix him up in 
 her mind with Ronald and her own love, and 
 then to betray her, and want to marry her, — 
 doubly faithless, to her that died for him, and 
 to Kirsteen that had wept for him ! It was 
 for constancy and pity and true love that the 
 girl had been so sorry, so touched in her 
 heart, so wishful to please him and make him 
 smile. And now to turn upon her, to try to 
 tear her from her own lad, to make her man- 
 sworn ! There was nothing that was too 
 bad for him, the old, ill man ! Kirsteen saw 
 herself stand before him indignant, her eyes 
 flashing with injured honour and a sense of 
 wrong. 
 
 But then suddenly all this sustaining force 
 of anger went from her as Glendochart's kind 
 and gentle face so full of feeling came before
 
 XIII. KIRSTEEN. 221 
 
 her imagination. Oh, he knew better than 
 that ! If she could but speak to him, and 
 tell him ! perhaps show him that little blue 
 Testament, whisper to him that there was 
 One — away with his regiment, fighting for 
 the King, like Glendochart himself, like the 
 story he had told her ! Tears filled Kir- 
 steen's eyes. Her father might be dour and 
 hard, but Glendochart would understand. 
 It was just his own story ; he would never 
 let her break her heart and die on her wed- 
 ding-day like his own lass. Oh, no ! oh, no ! 
 he would never do that. He would never 
 let it happen twice, and all for him. With 
 a quick gleam of her imagination, Kirsteen 
 saw herself in her white wedding-gown, 
 lying at his feet, the second bride that had 
 burst her heart ! Oh, no ! oh, no ! Glen- 
 dochart would never do that : the tears 
 streamed from Kirsteen's eyes at the thought, 
 but her quivering mouth smiled with gene- 
 rous confidence. No, no ! She had only to 
 speak to Glendochart and all would be well. . 
 But then came her father's threat, his
 
 222 
 
 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 blazing fiery eyes, his hand clenched and 
 shaken in her face, the fury of his outcry : 
 '' I'll just kill ye where ye stand — I'll put you 
 to the door." Kirsteen remembered Anne, and 
 her soul sank. Anne had a husband to take 
 care of her, she had a house, wherever it was ; 
 but Kirsteen would have nothing. And what 
 would become of her if she were put to the 
 door ? Where would she go to find a shelter ? 
 Another grotesque vision — but not so gro- 
 tesque to her imagination — of the poor beg- 
 gar-woman with a meal-pack on her shoulder 
 which her father had evoked, flitted before 
 her mind. No, she would not be like that. 
 She would take care of bairns, or keep a 
 house, or even make muslin gowns like Miss 
 Macnab. There were plenty of things she 
 could do ! — it would be long, long before she 
 need come to the meal-pack. But then there 
 burst over Kirsteen's mind another revelation : 
 the shame of it ! She, a Douglas — one of the 
 old Douglases, that had been the lords of the 
 whole land, not only of poor Drumcarro — a 
 gentlewoman of as good blood as the Duchess
 
 XIII. KIRSTEEN. 223 
 
 or any grand lady, and one that could not be 
 hidden or made to appear as if she were a 
 common person ! And the scandal of it, to 
 open up the house and all its concerns to ill 
 talk — to make it open to all the world to say 
 that Drumcarro was an ill father, and the 
 house a cruel house, or that the Douglas 
 lassies were not what ladies should be, but 
 lightheaded and ill-conducted, rebels against 
 their own kith and kin. This was the most 
 terrible thought of all. The others seemed to 
 open up a way of escape, but this closed the 
 door ; it is an ill bird that files its own nest. 
 How could Kirsteen do that ? shame her 
 family so that even Sandy and Nigil and 
 Charlie and Donald in India, even little 
 Robbie, should hear of it and think shame — 
 so that he should hear that Kirsteen had let 
 herself be talked about ? so that Drumcarro 
 should be lightly spoken of and all its secrets 
 laid bare ? This new suggestion brought back 
 all the passion and the confusion that the in- 
 fluence of the air and the freedom out of doors, 
 and the quiet time to think had calmed down
 
 2 24 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 To endure is always possible if you set your 
 heart to do it, whatever happens ; but to 
 shame and to expose your own house ! 
 
 '' Where have ye been, Kirsteen ? " said 
 Mrs. Douglas. " I never saw a person like 
 you for running out when you're most wanted. 
 You should not take your walks in the fore- 
 noon when we're all at work." 
 
 " Did you want me, mother ? I was not 
 fit to sit down to my work. I had a — buzzing 
 in my head." 
 
 **'Deed I think ye have always a buzzing 
 in your head. Sometimes I speak to ye three 
 times before ye answer me." 
 
 *' She's uplifted with her prospects," said 
 Mary, " and no wonder. I think ye should 
 excuse her this day." 
 
 Mary intended to be very kind to Kirsteen. 
 She had made up her mind to be a very 
 frequent visitor at her sister's house. 
 
 '' Well, well," said Mrs. Douglas, " that may 
 be true enough ; but I think she might have 
 come and told me the news herself, instead of 
 letting me find it out through your father —
 
 XIII. KIRSTEEN. 
 
 22! 
 
 not that I had not judgment enough to see 
 what was coming this many a day." 
 
 Kirsteen was still trembling with the re- 
 sults of her self-argument at the linn — which 
 indeed had come to no result at all save 
 the tremor in her frame and the agitation 
 in her heart. She had knelt down by her 
 mother's side to wind the wool for which it 
 appeared Mrs. Douglas had been waiting, 
 and she was not prepared with any reply. 
 
 '' She doesn't seem to have much to say 
 to us now, mother," said Mary. 
 
 " Kirsteen, you should not be so proud. 
 You will be a finer lady than ever your 
 mother was, with a carriage and horses of 
 your own, and no doubt everything that 
 heart can desire ; for an auld man is far 
 more silly than a young one." 
 
 Kirsteen gave the wool a jerk which tangled 
 it wildly. *' Mother, I just w^onder what you 
 are all havering about," she said. 
 
 " Kirsteen, I'm well used to rude speaking," 
 cried the mother, ready to cry at a moment's 
 notice ; '' but not from my own bairns." 
 
 VOL. I. Q
 
 226 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 *'0h, mother, I beg your pardon. It was 
 not you that was havering. Dlnna speak to 
 me, for I cannot bear it. My heart is just 
 like to break." 
 
 "With pleasure?" said Mary in her soft 
 tones. 
 
 Kirsteen darted a glance of fire at her calm 
 sister, but turned nervously to her occupation 
 again and answered nothing. She had enough 
 to do with her yarn which, in sympathy with 
 her confused thoughts, had twisted itself in 
 every possible way and refused to be disen- 
 tangled. Her mother remarked the tremor 
 of her hands. 
 
 ^* Ye have got the hank into a terrible 
 tangle, and what are ye trembling at, Kir- 
 steen — is it the cold ? " 
 
 *' I'm not trembling, mother," said Kirsteen. 
 
 " Do ye think I am blind or doited and 
 cannot see ? Na, I'm a weak woman, sore 
 held down with many infirmities ; but I'm 
 thankful to say my eyes are as good as ever 
 they were. Ye're all trembling, Kirsteen ; is 
 it the cold ? "
 
 XIII. KIRSTEEN. ' 227 
 
 " She has gotten her gown all wet, mother. 
 She has been down by the linn, it's no wonder 
 she's trembling. She ought to go and change 
 her things." 
 
 " Are your feet wet, Kirsteen ?" 
 
 " Oh," said Kirsteen springing to her feet, 
 "if ye would just let me alone ; I'm neither 
 wet nor cold, but my heart's like to break. I 
 don't know what I am doing for misery and 
 trouble. If ye would only have peety upon 
 me and let me alone ! " 
 
 " Dear Kirsteen, how can ye speak like 
 that ? Where will ye get any person you can 
 open your heart to like your mother ? Just 
 tell me what's wrong and that will ease your 
 mind. What can Mary and me mean but 
 what is for your good ? Eh, I never thought 
 but what you would be pleased, and a blithe 
 woman this bonny day." 
 
 " She'll maybe open her mind best between 
 you two, if I were away," said Mary rising. 
 She was really full of good feeling towards 
 her sister, with no doubt an anticipation of 
 good to come to herself, but yet a certain 
 
 Q 2
 
 228 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 amount of solid sympathy genuine enough of 
 its kind. 
 
 " Now, Kirsteen, my bonny woman, just 
 tell me what's the maitter," said Mrs. Douglas 
 when Mary was gone. 
 
 " It seems you know what has happened, 
 mother, and how can you ask me ? Am I 
 likely to be a blithe woman as ye say when 
 it's just been told me ? " 
 
 " That a good man and a good house are 
 waiting for ye, Kirsteen ? And one that's 
 very fond of ye, and asks no better than to 
 give ye all ye can desire ? " 
 
 " That I'm to be turned out of the house," 
 cried Kirsteen; "that I'm no more to see 
 your face; that I'm to go from door to door 
 with a meal-pack like a beggar woman ! " 
 
 ''Whisht, whisht, and don't speak non- 
 sense : that will be some of your father's 
 joking. Whiles he says things that are hard to 
 bear. What should bring all this upon ye, 
 Kirsteen ? You will be the Leddy of Glen- 
 dochart and an honoured woman, holding 
 your head as high as ainy in the whole
 
 XIII. KIRSTEEN. 229 
 
 county, and silk gowns as many as ye desire, 
 and coaches and horses ; and what ye'U Hke 
 best of all, my bonny bairn, the power to be 
 of real service and just a good angel to them 
 that ye like best." 
 
 *' O mother, mother," cried Kirsteen, 
 burying her face in her mother's lap, ** that is 
 the worst of it all ! Oh, if ye have any peety 
 don't say that to me ! " 
 
 '' But I must, for it's all true. Oh, Kir- 
 steen, I hope I'm not a complaining woman ; 
 but just you think what it would be to me to 
 have my daughter's house from time to time 
 to take shelter in. Many and many a time 
 have I been advised change of air, but never 
 got it, for who dared name it to your father ? 
 I have been thinking this w^hole morning it 
 would make me just a new woman. To get 
 away for a while from this hole — for it's just 
 a hole in the winter though it may be bonny 
 at other times, and to see my bairn sitting 
 like a queen, happy and respectit." 
 
 '' Not happy, mother ! " 
 ' That's just your fancy, my dear. You
 
 230 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 think he's old, but he's not really old, and as 
 kind a face as ever I saw, and full of con- 
 sideration, and not one that ever would say 
 ye had too many of your own folk about ye, 
 or that ye ought to forget your father's house. 
 Oh, Kirsteen, it's very little a lassie knows : 
 ye think of a bonny lad, a bright eye or a 
 taking look, or a fine figure at the dancing, 
 or the like of that. But who will tell ye if he 
 may not be just a deevil in the house ? Who 
 will tell ye that he may not just ding ye into 
 a corner and shame ye before your bairns, or 
 drive ye doited with his temper, or make 
 your bed and your board a hell on earth ? 
 Oh," cried poor Mrs. Douglas in accents of 
 deep conviction, "it's little, little a lassie 
 kens ! She thinks she will please her fancy, 
 or she listens to a flattering tongue, or looks 
 to a bonny outside. And all the time It's 
 just meesery she's wedding, and not a bonny 
 lad. But, Kirsteen," she said, giving a fur- 
 tive little kiss to the rings of hair on Kir- 
 steen's milk-white forehead, " Kirsteen, my 
 bonny woman, when ye take a man that
 
 XIII. KIRSTEEN. 231 
 
 everybody knows, that is just kent for a good 
 man and a kind man, and one that loves the 
 very ground you tread on, oh, my dear ! what 
 does it maitter that he's not just that young ? 
 Is it anything against him that he knows the 
 world and has had trouble of his own, and 
 understands w^hat it is to get a bonny lass 
 and a good bairn like you ? And oh, Kir- 
 steen, think what ye can do for us all if you 
 take him, for your sisters and for the callants, 
 he's just made the house a different thing 
 already ; and though that's scarcely worth the 
 thinking of, for I'm very near my grave and 
 will want nothing long, — Kirsteen, for me, 
 too !— " 
 
 " Oh, mother, mother ! " cried the girl with 
 her face still hidden in her mothers lap, "ye 
 just break my heart." 
 
 ** Na, na," said Mrs. Douglas in soft quick 
 tones like one who consoles a child, " we'll 
 have no breaking of hearts. Ye will not be 
 a month marriet before ye'll think there's no 
 such a man in the world. And there's noth- 
 ing he will deny ye, and from being of little
 
 232 KIRSTEEN. ch. xiii. 
 
 account ye'll be one of the first ladies in the 
 country side. Whisht, whisht, my darling ! 
 Ye'll make him a happy man, and is not he 
 worthy of it ? Kirsteen ! Rise up and dry 
 your eyes. I hear your father coming. And 
 dinna anger him, oh ! dinna anger him, for 
 he never minds what ill words he says ! "
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 Mrs. Douglas retired to her room after 
 dinner in a very tearful mood. She had 
 made a great effort and she had not been 
 successful, and all her hopes which had been 
 gradually built up into a palace of delight 
 came tumbling down about her ears. The 
 only comfort she could feel now was in the 
 source of her chief troubles. " Ye may say 
 W'hat you like to me," she cried as Kirsteen 
 helped her to take off her cap and arrange 
 herself comfortably upon her bed, " but your 
 father will never put up with it. It would 
 have been more natural in ye, Kirsteen, if ye 
 had yielded to your mother, for well I wot 
 ye'll have to yield to him, whether ye like it 
 or no."
 
 234 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 " Oh, mother, I think ye might under- 
 stand," Kirsteen said. 
 
 " Understand ! it's easy enough to under- 
 stand. Ye've got a silly notion in your head 
 that ye cannot mairry an old man. Better 
 than you have done it before ye, and it would 
 be a blessing to all your family, and maybe 
 help me to live to see some of my boys come 
 back. But na, ye will never think of that, of 
 nothing but your own pleasure. And you'll 
 see what your father will say to you," said 
 Mrs. Douglas, with a vindictive satisfaction, 
 while Kirsteen drew the coverlet over her 
 and arranged the pillow for her head. 
 
 '* Are ye comfortable, mother ? " 
 
 ** Oh, ay, as much as I can be, so little 
 considered as I am. Ye need not wait. 
 Put my stick within my reach, I'll chap upon 
 the floor if I want ye, or ye can send Mary If 
 it's too much trouble," the angry mother said. 
 She had been very tender up to this point, 
 very anxious to show how entirely it was for 
 everybody's advantage that this step should 
 be taken. But to spend your strength thus
 
 XIV. KIRSTEEN. 235 
 
 upon an unconvinced and unyielding child Is 
 hard to bear, and Mrs. Douglas's disappoint- 
 ment had turned to wrath. 
 
 " Oh, mother," KIrsteen said with an- 
 guish, but the remonstrance met with no 
 reply except a fretful '' Go away ! " She 
 went down stairs very slowly and reluc- 
 tantly to the parlour where Mary sat at the 
 household mending, in all the placid superior- 
 ity of one who is at peace with the w^orld. 
 She had rejected no one's advice. She had 
 not crossed her father or her mother, or 
 disappointed her family. When Kirsteen sat 
 down and took her work, Mary looked at her 
 and gave utterance to a faint ''tshish, tshlsh " 
 of mild animadversion, but for some time 
 nothing was said. When the silence was 
 broken it was by a question from Mary, 
 " Ye'll not be expecting Glendochart to- 
 day ? " 
 
 " Me expecting him ? I never expected 
 him ! He just came of his own will," 
 Kirsteen cried, moved in her anger and 
 wretchedness to a few hasty tears.
 
 2;6 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 ''Well, well, I'm saying nothing; but I 
 suppose he's not expected, if that's the right 
 way." 
 
 ** I know nothing about it," said Kirsteen : 
 which indeed was not quite true. 
 
 '' It was just to tell Marg'ret she need take 
 no extra trouble about the scones. It's been 
 a great expense a visitor like that, especially 
 when it comes to nothing : often to his 
 dinner, and still oftener to his tea. And 
 always new scones to be made, and jam on 
 the table, and the boys partaking freely : for 
 how could I tell Jock and Jamie before a 
 stranger, ' It's no for you.' And all to come 
 to nothing ! " said Mary, holding up her 
 hands. 
 
 " What could it have come to ? " cried 
 Kirsteen. *' I think I will be just driven out 
 of my senses between my mother and you." 
 
 *' Poor mother," said Mary. '' She had 
 just set her heart upon it. It would have 
 been a grand change to her to go and visit 
 ye. It would have done her health good, but 
 there are some that never think on such
 
 XIV. KIRSTEEN. 237 
 
 things. I just wish it had been me that had 
 got the chance." 
 
 "And so do I, with all my heart," cried 
 Kirsteen, with a hot and angry blush. She 
 felt however that there was something like 
 a dishonesty, an irritating attempt to despoil 
 her of something belonging to her in ^Mary's 
 wish. 
 
 " I would have put myself in the back- 
 ground," said Mary. " I would not have 
 thought w^hether I liked it or not. I would 
 just have taken the man however old he 
 had been. I would have said, it will be 
 fine for my mother and a good thing 
 for Kirsteen and all the bairns ; and I 
 would just have taken him and never said 
 a word." 
 
 "That would have been pleasant for him 
 — that you should take him for the sake of 
 the family." 
 
 " He would have been none the wiser," 
 said Mary composedly. " There would have 
 been no necessity to tell him. And he would 
 never have found it out. They say men are
 
 238 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 very vain ; they just think ye are in 
 love with them whether ye are or not. 
 And I would have managed Glendochart 
 fine. But it was not me that had the 
 chance." 
 
 Kirsteen cast of gleam of mingled Indigna- 
 tion and contempt at her sister, who went 
 on diligently with her mending while she 
 gave vent to these sentiments. Mary was 
 fitting on a patch upon one of the boys' 
 undergarments, carefully laying it by the 
 thread. Her mending was famed in the 
 family ; nobody made repairs so neatly. She 
 spoke very softly, never lifting her eyes from 
 the work, which indeed required all her at- 
 tention. And there is a special power, 
 especially for irritation, in the words of wis- 
 dom that are thus addressed to one without 
 any lifting of the eyes. 
 
 " But that's just the way of the world," 
 Mary said with a sigh. " The one that would 
 do it, that would not think of herself, but just 
 do it, is never the one that has it in her 
 power. I've seen the same thing many a
 
 XIV. KIRSTEEN. 239 
 
 time. The wilful one that will please herself, 
 it is her that folk seek — " 
 
 Kirsteen's heart swelled high with mortifi- 
 cation and pain. If there was anything that 
 she had desired in her visionary moods it 
 had been to sacrifice herself, to do some 
 great thing for her mother, to be the saving 
 of little Jeanie. She had made many a plan 
 how to do this, how to perform prodigies for 
 them, to deliver them from dangers. In her 
 dreams she had saved both from fire and 
 flood, from the burning house w^hich fancy 
 sacrificed lightly to give her the chance of a 
 piece of heroism, or from the roaring stream 
 when it ran to its highest, cutting off Drum- 
 carro, which was a thing that had happened 
 once. And now the smooth and smiling 
 Mary, who would have thought of nobody in 
 such a strait but herself, could reproach Kir- 
 steen ! And it was a true reproach. Here 
 was the way, with no need to set the house 
 on fire, or flood the country : here was a 
 deliverance to be accomplished, that was 
 within her power, that she could do so easily
 
 240 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 with no trouble to any one save to him who 
 was far away, who perhaps would never hear 
 of it, who might have changed his mind and 
 forgotten Kirsteen long before he heard of it. 
 All the best part of her seemed to rise 
 against Kirsteen, demanding of her this 
 sacrifice. Oh, it was so easy to do it in your 
 head, to make a sacrifice of everything when 
 nothing was wanted ! — but when the time 
 came — 
 
 And as if this was not enough, litde Jeanie 
 came running after Kirsteen when the poor 
 girl escaped and wandered out again towards 
 the linn in hope of a little soothing from 
 Nature — Jeanie stole her hand into Kirsteen's 
 and rubbed her golden locks against her 
 sister's sleeve, '' When ye go to Glendochart 
 take me with you," said Jeanie, '' Oh, I 
 would like to live in a grand house. I would 
 like a powney to ride, and to play upon 
 the harpsichord as my mother did when 
 she was young. They say ye'll be very 
 rich, Kirsteen, when you go with Glen- 
 dochart."
 
 XIV. KIRSTEEN. 241 
 
 '^ But I will never go with Glendochart ! " 
 Kirsteen cried. 
 
 " Oh, will ye no ? And why will ye no, 
 Kirsteen ? Will ye send him away ? Oh, 
 you could never be so cruel as to do that ! 
 Will he come here no more ? — and everything 
 be just as it used to be ? Oh, Kirsteen ! " 
 cried Jeanie, " I wish you would marry 
 Glendochart ! — I would if it was me. He is 
 the kindest man in the whole world. He 
 speaks to me as if he was — No, fathers are 
 not kind like that. I like him, Kirsteen, I 
 am awfu' fond of him ; and so is Jock and 
 Jamie — Oh, I wish ye would change your 
 mind ! " 
 
 " But, Jeanie, ye would not wish me to be 
 meeserable,'' cried poor Kirsteen. 
 
 " No," said Jeanie — but she added with 
 youthful philosophy, '' you wouldna be 
 meeserable when me and the rest were so 
 happy. And it is us that will be meeser- 
 able if you send him away that has been so 
 good to us all. And how would ye like 
 that ? " 
 
 VOL. I. R
 
 242 ■ KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 Jeanie s small voice became almost stern as 
 she asked the question, *' How would ye like 
 that? — to make all the rest meeserable — 
 w^hen the alternative was nothing more than 
 being meeserable yourself ? " Kirsteen had 
 nothing to say against that logic. She told 
 Jeanie to run to a certain drawer where 
 she would find some oranges and share 
 them with the boys. They were Glen- 
 dochart's oranges like everything pleasant in 
 the house. And he was the kindest man in 
 the world. And he would be miserable 
 too as well as her mother and Jeanie and 
 the laddies. '' Oh, poor Kirsteen, with 
 all her best feelings turning traitors to 
 her ! would it not be far easier to consent 
 and make them all happy, and just be 
 miserable herself ? 
 
 But she was not to be left free even now. 
 Before she had gof to the side of the linn, to 
 be deafened with the roar and drenched with 
 the spray, which were the only things she 
 could think of in which any solace was, 
 Marg'ret coming round the back of the house
 
 XIV. KIRSTEEX. 243 
 
 Interrupted her on her way, '' Where are ye 
 going, down by the linn to get your death of 
 cold and maybe an accident into the bargain ? 
 You have nothing upon your head, and no 
 gloves on your arms, and the grass is drookit. 
 No, my bonny lamb, ye must not go there." 
 
 " Let me be, Marg'ret. What do I care ! 
 If I get my death it will be all the better ; 
 but I'll no get my death." 
 
 '' Lord, save us, to hear her speak ! Ye'll 
 no get your death, — it's just a figure of 
 speech ; but ye may get the cauld or a sair 
 throat, or something that will settle on your 
 chest, and that's as bad. What for would ye 
 go and tempt Providence ? Come into my 
 bonny kitchen that is all redd up and like a 
 new pin, and get a good warm." 
 
 " Neither warm nor cold is of any conse- 
 quence to me," said Kirsteen, '' if folk would 
 just leave me alone." 
 
 " What's the maitter with my bonny doo ? 
 Many a time you've come to Marg'ret with 
 your trouble and we've found a way out 
 of it." 
 
 R 2
 
 244 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 " I see no way out of it," said Kirsteen. 
 She had reached that point of young despair 
 when comfort or consolation is an additional 
 aggravation of the evil. She preferred to be 
 told that everything was over, and that there 
 was no hope. 
 
 " Ye may tell me a' the same," said 
 Marg'ret, putting her arm round her nursling 
 and drawing her close. " It's about auld 
 Glendochart, that's plain for all the world 
 to see." 
 
 " You call him auld Glendochart," cried 
 Kirsteen. 
 
 '' Weel, and what would I call him ? He's 
 auld compared to the like of you. He's no 
 blate to come here with his grey pow and 
 choose the best of the flock. But dinna break 
 your heart for that, Kirsteen. Ye must say 
 to him that ye canna have him. He will 
 take a telling. A man of that age he 
 kens most things in this world. He will 
 just mount his horse again, and ride 
 away." 
 
 '* It's easy speaking," cried Kirsteen, "but
 
 XIV. KIRSTEEN. 245 
 
 it's me that dare not say a word. For my 
 father is just red weed, and will have it, 
 Marg'ret. And my mother, she w^ants it too. 
 And all of them they are upon me because 1 
 cannot consent : for oh, I cannot consent ! — 
 whatever folk may think or say, it's just 
 this, that I cannot do it. I would sooner 
 die." 
 
 " There is nobody that will force you," 
 said Marg'ret. " Dinna lose heart, my bonny 
 bairn. The laird himself is very fierce some- 
 times, but his bark is worse than his bite. 
 Na, na, ye must just keep up your heart. 
 Glendochart will soon see, he will let nobody 
 force ye. Things like that never come to pass 
 noo. They're just a relic of the auld times. 
 Maybe the auld Douglases that we hear so 
 much about, that had the rights of fire and 
 sword, and dark towers and dungeons to 
 shut ye up in, might have done it. But 
 where would he shut ye up here ? There's 
 no a lock to any room door in this house ! " 
 Marg'ret's laugh had a cheerful sound in the
 
 246 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 air, it broke the spell. ''Your father may 
 want to frighten you, and bring ye to his will 
 — but he will do nae mair ; and as for the 
 mistress, she will reproach ye for a day and 
 then it'll be a' done." 
 
 Kirsteen was obliged to confess that there 
 was something in this. Her mother had been 
 in despair for twenty-four hours, and "just 
 her ordinary " the day after on many previous 
 occasions. It might all ''blow over" as 
 Marg'ret said, especially if Glendochart 
 should see with his own eyes how little dis- 
 posed was the bride whom the family were so 
 anxious to put into his arms. No doubt his 
 feelings would be hurt, which was a thing 
 Kirsteen did not like to think of But some- 
 body must suffer it was clear, and if so, 
 perhaps it was better that it should be 
 Glendochart who was an old man, and no 
 doubt used to it, and who was also a rich 
 man, and could go away and divert himself 
 as Marg'ret suggested. 
 
 Marg'ret was of opinion that though it
 
 XIV. KIRSTEE.V. 247 
 
 might hurt his feelings it was not likely at his 
 age that it would break his heart. For hearts 
 are more fragile at twenty than at sixty — at 
 least in that way.
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 Marg'ret had said with truth that the 
 troubles of her young favourite had often 
 been smoothed away after a consultation with 
 herself. The best of us have our weak points, 
 and the excellent Marg'ret was perhaps a 
 little vain of the faculty of " seeing a way out 
 of it," which she believed herself to possess. 
 She had seen a way out of it in many family 
 tribulations which had a way of appearing less 
 desperate when she took them in hand. 
 And her last grand success in respect to the 
 ball at the Castle had no doubt added to her 
 confidence in herself. But after having 
 turned it over in her mind for the best part 
 of the night Marg'ret found that even her 
 courage did not sustain her when she thought
 
 CH. XV. KIRSTEEN. 249 
 
 of confronting Drumcarro and requiring of 
 him that he should give up the marriage on 
 which he had evidently set his heart. 
 Marg'ret was conscious that she was herself 
 partly to blame : had she not set before him 
 in the famous argument about the ball the 
 fact that in no other way was there any 
 likelihood of finding "a man" for either of 
 his daughters ? Alas, the man had been too 
 easy to find, and how was she to confront 
 him now and bid him let go his prize ? 
 Marg'ret's heart sank, though it was not 
 given to sinking. She lay awake half the 
 niorht turninor it over and over in her mind, 
 first representing to herself under every light 
 the possible argument with Drumcarro and 
 what he would say, and what she would say. 
 She heard herself remonstrating, '' Sir, ye 
 canna force your ain bairn, to make her 
 meeserable," and the response, " What the 
 deevil have you to do with it, if I make her 
 meeserable or no ? " She had been c/a7is son 
 droit when she had interfered about the 
 muslin gowns and the ball, and the necessity
 
 250 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 of letting the young ladies be seen in the 
 world — but who was she to meddle with a 
 marriage when everybody was pleased but 
 just the poor lassie herself? A poor lassie 
 will change her mind as Marg'ret knew, and 
 will sometimes be very thankful to those who 
 opposed her foolish youth, and made her do 
 what turned out to be so good for her. 
 There was nothing so little to be calculated 
 upon, as the sentiments of a girl whose 
 position would be unspeakably improved by 
 marriage, and whose silly bits of feeling 
 might change at any moment. It is true that 
 Kirsteen was not silly but full of sense far 
 beyond her years. But even she might 
 change her mind, and who could doubt that 
 Drumcarro's daughter would be far better off 
 as Glendochart's wife ? 
 
 All this " dautoned " Marg'ret as she would 
 herself have said. She beg^an even to elide 
 away from her conviction that the master 
 must be wrong. This is a fine working 
 sentiment, and helps to surmount many diffi- 
 culties, but when a reasonable soul is smitten
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 251 
 
 by hesitation and feels that it is possible for 
 even a habitual wrongdoer to be for once in 
 the ri2:ht, it takes the stren^rth out of all 
 eftbrt. Finding herself less and less likelv to 
 be able with any comfort to object. Alarg'ret 
 began instinctively to turn to the other side 
 of the question ; and she found there was a 
 o-reat deal to be said on that other side. 
 Glendochart was old — but after all he was not 
 so dreadfullv old, not in the stao-e of extreme 
 age, as Kirsteen supposed. He was a '• per- 
 sonable man." He would give his young 
 wife everything that heart of woman (in 
 Argyllshire* could desire. She would have a 
 carriao-e to drive about in and a saddle-horse 
 to ride. She would get a spinet, or a harp- 
 sichord, or the new-fanq-led thin^ that was 
 called a piany to play upon if she pleased ; 
 and as many books as she could set her face 
 to ; and mavbe a sic-ht of London and the 
 King's court, "decent man! if he were but 
 weel ao-ain," said Mar^"ret to herself, for the 
 name of the Prince Regent was not in good 
 odour. All this would be Kirsteen's if she
 
 252 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 could but just get over that feellngabout theold 
 man. And after all Marg'ret went on, reasoning 
 herself into a more and more perfect adoption 
 of the only practicable side, he was not such 
 an old man. Two or three years younger than 
 Drumcarro — and Drumcarro had life enouo^h 
 in him, just a very born devil as fierce as ever 
 he was. They would be bold that would call the 
 laird an old man, and Glendochart was three at 
 least, maybe five years younger. Not an old 
 man at all — just a little over his prime ; and 
 a well-made personable man, doing every- 
 thing that the youngest did, riding every day 
 and out stalking on the hills in the season, 
 and hurling, as Kirsteen herself had allowed, 
 with the best. When everything was done 
 and said what should hinder her to take 
 Glendochart ? He was a far finer gentleman 
 than anybody that Kirsteen was likely to 
 meet with. He was a good man, everybody 
 said. He was what you might call a near 
 kinsman of the Duke's, not more than four 
 or five times removed. She would be in the 
 best of company at Glendochart, invited out
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 253 
 
 to dinner, and to all the diversions that were 
 going. What could a lassie want more ? 
 Marg'ret woke in the morning in a great 
 hurry, having overslept herself after a wakeful 
 night, with the same conviction in her mind 
 which was so strongly impressed upon all the 
 others. It was just for everybody's advantage 
 that Kirsteen should marry Glendochart, and 
 for her own most of all. 
 
 Kirsteen herself had been much calmed 
 and invigorated by her consultation with 
 Marg'ret. That authority had made so little 
 of the obstacles and the dangers, as if it would 
 be the easiest thing in the world to shake off 
 Glendochart, and convince Drumcarro that 
 nothing could be done. For the moment 
 Kirsteen's heart rose. She was accustomed 
 to put great trust in Mar'gret, to see her 
 cheerful assurances more or less justified. 
 INI any a storm had blown over which had 
 filled the girl with terror, but which Marg'ret 
 had undertaken should come to nothing. And 
 if that was what Marg'ret thought now, all 
 might be well. That day Kirsteen bore her-
 
 254 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 self with great courage, getting back her 
 colour, and singing about the house as was 
 her wont, though It was only by a great effort 
 that she dismissed the foreboding from her 
 heart. And this brave front she kept up 
 heroically during the greater part of the week 
 of Glendochart's absence, finding her best 
 help in silence and a determined avoidance of 
 the subject — but the courage oozed out at 
 her finger tips as the days stole away. They 
 seemed to go like conspirators one by one 
 bringing her near the dreadful moment which 
 she could not avoid. It had been on Thursday 
 that her father had spoken to her, and now 
 the week had gone all but a day. Kirsteen 
 had just realized this with a sick fluttering at 
 her heart, as she stood at the door watching 
 the ruddy colours of the sunset die out of the 
 heavens. Something of the feeling of the 
 condemned who watches his last sun setting 
 had come into her mind in spite of her- 
 self : what might have happened to her 
 before to-morrow ? Would her father's 
 curse be on her, or the still heavier malison
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 255 
 
 of a creature mansworn, false to her dearest 
 vow ? 
 
 While she was thus musing, all her fictitious 
 courage forsaking her, she felt herself sud- 
 denly and roughly caught by the arm from 
 behind. "Well," said her father, "are ye 
 thinking what ye'll say to your joe ? He's to 
 be here to-morrow to his dinner, and he'll 
 expect to find all settled. Have ye fixed with 
 your mother about the day ? " 
 
 " Father," cried Kirsteen in a wild sudden 
 panic, " you know what I said to ye. There's 
 no day to be settled. I will tell him I cannot 
 do it. I cannot do it. There's no question 
 about a day." 
 
 He swung her round with that iron grasp 
 upon her arm so that she faced him. His 
 fierce eyes blazed upon her with a red light 
 from under his heavy eyelids. " Dare to say 
 a word but what I tell ye, and I'll dash ye — 
 in pieces like a potter's vessel ! " cried Drum- 
 carro, taking the first similitude that occurred 
 to him. He shook her as he spoke, her 
 frame, though it was well-knit and vigorous^
 
 256 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 quivering In his grasp. ** Just say a word 
 more of your damned . nonsense and I'll lay 
 ye at my feet ! " 
 
 KIrsteen's heart fluttered to her throat with 
 a sickening terror ; but she looked him In the 
 face with what steadiness she could command, 
 and a dumb resolution. The threat gave her 
 back a sense of something unconquerable in 
 her, although every limb shook. 
 
 "Yell see Glendochart when he comes 
 — In my presence — ye'll have the day fixed 
 and all put In order. Or If ye want to 
 appear like a woman and not a petted bairn 
 before your man that is to be, you'll settle 
 it yourself. I give you full liberty If you'll 
 behave yourself. But hearken," he said, 
 giving her another shake, " I'll have no 
 confounded nonsense. If ye go against me 
 In a strange man's presence and expose the 
 family, I will just strike ye down at my feet, 
 let what will come of It. Do you hear what 
 I say ? " 
 
 " He will not let you strike me," she cried 
 in terror, yet defiance.
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 257 
 
 '' Ye'll be at my feet before he has the 
 chance," cried Drumcarro. " And who's 
 will be the wyte if your father, the last of 
 the Douglases, should be dragged to a jail 
 for you ? If ye expose my family to scorn 
 and shame, I'll do it more. Do you hear 
 me ? Now go and settle it with your mother," 
 he said, suddenly letting her go. Kirsteen, 
 thrown backward by the unexpected libera- 
 tion, fell back with a dizzying shock against 
 the lintel of the door. She lay against it 
 for a moment sick and giddy, the light fading 
 from her eyes ; and for a minute or two 
 Kirsteen thought she was going to die. 
 It is a conviction that comes easily at such 
 a crisis. It seemed to the girl so much the 
 best way out of it, just to be done with 
 it all. 
 
 " The only art her guilt to cover, 
 
 To hide her shame from every eye. 
 To bring repentance to her lover. 
 And wring his bosom — " 
 
 Poor Kirsteen had no guilt, nor had she 
 any clear apprehension what this meant, or 
 VOL. I. s
 
 258 KIRSTEEN. CHAP. 
 
 what guilt it was — it might have been only 
 the guilt of disobedience, the shame of 
 exposing the family for anything she knew ; 
 but the words flashed through her mind in 
 her half-faint, lying speechless against the 
 door. It would bring repentance to them 
 all and wring their bosoms — it would save 
 the shame of a disturbance and the dreadful 
 sight of a struggle between father and 
 daughter. The only art — just to die. 
 
 He had said, " Go to your mother." 
 This came vaguely back to her mind as she 
 came to herself. Her mother — no, her 
 mother would say just the same, they would 
 all say the same. She had no one to go to. 
 Then Kirsteen's gradually quickening senses 
 heard something which sounded like an 
 approaching footstep. She roused herself 
 in a moment, and still sick and faint, with 
 a singing in her ears, turned and fled — not 
 to her mother, to Marg'ret in the kitchen, 
 who was her only hope. 
 
 The kitchen was, as Marg'ret had said 
 " like a new pin" at that hour, all clean and
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 259 
 
 bright, the fire made up, the hearth swept, 
 the traces of dinner all cleared away. It 
 was the moment when Marg'ret could sit 
 down to needlework or spell out some old, 
 old newspaper which even the minister had 
 done with ; her assistant Merran was out 
 in the byre looking after the kye, and 
 Marg'ret was alone. When Kirsteen rushed 
 in unsteadily and threw herself down in the 
 big wooden chair by the fireside, Marg'ret 
 was threading a needle which was a work of 
 patience. But this sudden Invasion dis- 
 tracted her completely and made her lay 
 down both thread and needle with a sigh. 
 
 ** My bonny woman ! What is the matter 
 now ? " 
 
 " Marg'ret, I nearly fainted standing 
 against the door." 
 
 " Fainted ! bless the bairn ! na, na, no so 
 bad as that. Your head's cool and so Is 
 your hand. W^hat w^as It, Kirsteen ? " 
 
 " Or nearly died would be more like It, 
 and that would maybe have been the best.' 
 And then with moist eyes fixed upon her
 
 26o KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 anxious companion and a tremulous smile 
 about her mouth Kirsteen repeated her 
 verse — 
 
 *' The only art her guilt to cover, 
 
 To hide her shame from every eye, 
 To bring repentance to her lover. 
 And wring his bosom — is to die." 
 
 '' Kirsteen ! what is that you are saying ? " 
 cried Marg'ret, a sudden flush showing even 
 upon her ruddy colour. " Guilt and shame ! 
 What have those dreadfu' things to do with 
 you ? " 
 
 " I am disobeying both father and mother," 
 said the girl solemnly, '' isna that guilt ? And 
 oh, it's shaming all belonging to me to stand 
 against them ; but I canna help it, I canna 
 help it. Oh, Marg'ret, hide me from him, 
 find me a place to go to ! What will I do ! 
 what will I do ! " 
 
 '* My dear, my dear ! " said Marg'ret, " you 
 make my heart sair. What can I say to 
 you ? I have ever taken your pairt as you 
 ken weel — but oh, my bonny woman, I 
 canna but think you're a little unreasonable.
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 261 
 
 What ails you at Glendochart ? He's a good 
 man and an honourable man, and it would 
 please everybody. To think so much of 
 his age when there's no other objection is 
 not like you that had always such sense. 
 And ye would be far happier, Kirsteen, in a 
 house of your own. Because there's white 
 on his head is that a cause to turn your heart 
 from a good man ? " 
 
 Kirsteen said nothing for a moment : 
 she looked with wistful eyes and a faint 
 smile in Marg'ret's face, shaking her head ; 
 then suddenly rising up went away out of 
 the kitchen, hurrying as much as her limbs, 
 still feeble with the late shock and struggle, 
 would let her. Marg'ret stood aghast while 
 her hurried irregular step was audible going 
 up stairs. 
 
 " Now I have just angered her," said 
 Marg'ret to herself, " and cast back her bit 
 heart upon herself, and made her feel she 
 has no true friend. Will I go after her, — 
 or will I wait till she comes back ? " 
 
 This question was settled for her as she
 
 262 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 stood listening and uncertain, by the sound 
 of Kirsteen's return. Marg'ret listened 
 eagerly while she came down stairs again 
 step by step. She came into the kitchen 
 with the same vague deprecating smile upon 
 her face. She had a little Testament in its 
 blue boards in her hand. She said nothing, 
 but opening it held out to her faithful adviser 
 the fly-leaf upon which there stood the initials 
 together of R. D. and C. D., connected wath 
 the feeble pencilling of the runic knot. 
 Kirsteen said not a word, but held it out 
 open, pointing to this simple symbol with 
 her other hand. " R. D.," said Marg'ret, 
 *' wha is that ? CD., that will just stand 
 for yourself. It's not one of Robbie's books 
 — it's — it's — Oh ! " she cried with sudden 
 enlightenment, "now I understand!" 
 
 Kirsteen put the little page solemnly to 
 her trembling lips, a tear almost dropped 
 upon it, but she shut the book quickly that 
 no stain should come upon it, even of a tear. 
 She did not say a word during this little 
 tender revelation of her heart, but turned her
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 263 
 
 eyes and her faint propitiatory smile to 
 Marg'ret as if there was no more to be 
 said. 
 
 '' And this has been In your heart all the 
 time ! " cried Marg'ret, drying her eyes with 
 her apron. '' I thought of that, twa-three 
 times. There was something In his look 
 yon day he gaed away, but I never said a 
 word, for who can tell ? And this was In your 
 heart a' the time ? " 
 
 *' He said, ' Will ye wait till I come back ? ' 
 and I said, ' That I will ! ' " said KIrsteen, 
 but very softly, the sweetness of the re- 
 collection coming back to soothe her in the 
 midst of all the pain. 
 
 " And that's how they've tied their lives, 
 thae young things ! " said Marg'ret also with 
 a kind of solemnity. " A word spoken that 
 Is done In a moment, and after that — a' thae 
 long and weary years — and maybe for all 
 they ken never to see Ilk Ither again." 
 
 ''And If It should be so," said KIrsteen, 
 " It would just be for death instead of life, 
 and all the same."
 
 264 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 " Oh, weel I ken that," said Marg'ret 
 shaking her head. She made a pause, and 
 then she added hurriedly, " What's to be 
 done with you, lassie ? If Glendochart's 
 coming the morn to mairry ye there's no 
 time to be lost." 
 
 " Marg'ret, I will just go away." 
 
 '* Where will ye go to ? I t's easy speaking : 
 a creature like you cannot travel the country- 
 side like a servant lass going to a new place. 
 And ye've nae friends that will take such a 
 charge. Miss Eelen would be frightened out 
 of her wits. I know nobody that will help 
 you but Glendochart himself — and you 
 couldna go to him." 
 
 '' What is that letter on the table, Marg'ret, 
 and who is it from ? " 
 
 '' The letter ? What's in the letter ? Can 
 ye think of that at sic a moment ? It's a 
 letter from my sister Jean." 
 
 '' Marg'ret, that's just where I am 
 going ! I see it all in a flash like lightning. 
 I am going to London to your sister 
 Jean."
 
 XV. KIRSTEEX. 265 
 
 ** The bairn is clean out of her senses ! " 
 cried Marg'ret almost with a scream. 
 
 And then they stood and looked at each 
 other for a long rapid minute, interchanging 
 volumes in the silent meeting of their eyes. 
 Kirsteen had sprung in a moment from the 
 agitated creature who had come to Marg'ret 
 to be hidden, to be sheltered, not knowing 
 what could be done with her, to the quick- 
 witted, high-spirited girl she was by nature, 
 alive with purpose and strong intuition, fear- 
 ing nothing. And Marg'ret read all this new 
 world of meaning in the girl's eyes more 
 surely than words could have told her. She 
 saw the sudden flash of the resolution, the 
 clearing away of all clouds, the rise of the 
 natural courage, the Kirsteen of old whom 
 nothing could " dauton " coming back. " Oh, 
 my lamb ! " she breathed under her breath. 
 
 " There's not a moment to be lost," said 
 Kirsteen, '* for I must go in the morning 
 before anybody is up. And ye must not tell 
 a living creature but keep my secret, Marg'ret. 
 For go I must, there is no other thing to do.
 
 266 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 And maybe I will never come back. My 
 father will never forgive me. I will be like 
 Anne cut off from the family. But go I 
 must, for no more can I bide here. Give me 
 the letter from your sister to let her see it's 
 me when I get there. And give me your 
 blessing, Marg'ret — It's all the blessing 1 will 
 get. And let me go ! " 
 
 '' Not to-night, Kirsteen ! " 
 
 "No, not to-night ; but early — early in the 
 morning before daylight. Dinna say a w^ord 
 — not a word. It's all clear before me. I'll 
 beat nobody's charges, I'll fend for myself ; 
 and your sister Jean will show me the way." 
 
 There was another silence during which 
 Kirsteen, quite regardless of the rights of 
 propriety which existed no more between 
 Marg'ret and herself than between mother 
 and daughter, took possession of Miss Jean 
 Brown's letter, while Marg'ret stood reflect- 
 ing, entirely alarmed by the revelation made 
 to her, and by the sudden re-birth of the 
 vehement young creature who had been for 
 a time so subdued and broken down by her
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 267 
 
 first contest with the world. To keep Kir- 
 steen back was, in the circumstances and 
 with the strong convictions of the Scotch 
 serving woman as to the force of a troth- 
 pHght and the binding character of a vow, 
 impossible. But to let her go thus unfriended, 
 unaided, alone into an unknown world, far 
 more unknown to Marg'ret than the ends of 
 the earth would be to her representative now, 
 was somethinof more than could be borne. 
 She suddenly exclaimed in a sharp tone with 
 a cruel hope : " And where are ye to get the 
 siller? It's mad and mad enough any way, 
 but madder still without a penny in your 
 pocket. How are ye to get to London with- 
 out money ? It's just impossible." 
 
 '' I can walk, others have done it before 
 me. I'm well and strong and a grand 
 walker," said Kirsteen, but not till after a 
 pause of consternation, this consideration not 
 having crossed her mind before. 
 
 " Walk ! it's just hundreds of miles, and 
 takes a week in the coach," cried Marg'ret. 
 " Ye cannot walk, no to say ye would want
 
 268 KIRSTEEN. chap. 
 
 money even then, for I'm no supposing that 
 you mean to beg your bread from door to 
 door. Without money ye canna go a step. 
 I'll not permit it. Have ye anything of your 
 ain ? " 
 
 *' I have the gold guinea my grandmother 
 left me in her will ; but I have no more. 
 How should I have any more ?" 
 
 Marg'ret stood for a moment undecided, 
 while Kirsteen waited a little eager, a little 
 expectant like a child. It did not occur to 
 her to deprecate help from Marg'ret as a 
 more high-minded heroine might have done. 
 Marg'ret was a little Providence at Drumcarro. 
 She had store of everything that the children 
 wanted, and had been their resource all their 
 lives. And Kirsteen had not realized the 
 difference between money and other indis- 
 pensable things. She waited like a child, 
 following Marg'ret with her eyes until some 
 expedient should be thought of. She breathed 
 a sigh of suspense yet expectation when 
 Marg'ret hurried away to her bedroom at the 
 back of the house, seating herself again in the
 
 XV. KIRSTEEN. 269 
 
 big chair to wait, not impatiently, for the 
 solution of the problem. Marg'ret came 
 back after a few minutes with a work-box in 
 her hand. All kinds of things had come out 
 of that box in the experience of the children 
 at Drumcarro, things good and evil, little 
 packets of powders for childish maladies, 
 sweeties to be taken after the nauseous 
 mouthful, needles and thimbles and scissors 
 when these needful implements had all been 
 lost, as happened periodically, even a ribbon 
 or a pair of gloves in times of direst need. 
 She began to turn over the well-remembered 
 contents — old buttons, hooks and eyes from 
 old gowns long departed, MargVet's two 
 brooches that formed all her jewellery, wrap- 
 ped up in separate pieces of paper. ** My 
 sister Jean," said Marg'ret with her head 
 bent over the box, " has often bidden me to 
 come and see her in London town. You 
 ken why I couldna go. I couldna thole to 
 leave you that are leavin' me without a tear. 
 And she sent me what would do for my 
 chairges. It was never touched by me. It
 
 270 KIRSTEEN. chap. xv. 
 
 took me a great deal of trouble to get Scotch 
 notes for it, and here it is at the bottom of 
 my box with many an auld relic on the top of 
 it — just a' I'll have of ye when yeVe got your 
 will," said Marg'ret, a tear dropping among 
 the miscellaneous articles in the box. She 
 took from the bottom a little parcel in an old 
 letter, folded square and written closely to the 
 very edge of the seal. " Hae ! take it ! and 
 ye maun just do with it what pleasures 
 yoursel'," Marg'ret cried.

 Tlie Edinburgh Review says : — " We cannot leave this subject •without erpressing, 
 however briefly, our arlmiration for the beartiful volume A\'hich Mi-s. Oliphant has 
 devoted to the ' Makers of Florence ' — one of the nn 'St elegant and interesting books 
 which has been iiispired in our time by the arts and annals of that celebrated 
 Republic." 
 
 The Westminster Review says :— " In the^e days, no one \isiting Florence can 
 better prepare for a just appreciation of the temper and spirit of the place than by 
 studjing Mrs. Oliphant' s capital treatise."

 BlackiDOod's Magazine says: — "Mrs Ob'phant's hand has not lost its cunning. 
 ' The Makers of Venice ' is even more delightful tlian ' The Makere of Florence.' The 
 writing is bright and animated, the research thorough, the presentation of Venetian 
 life brilliantly vivid. It is an entirely workmanlike piece of work by an artist who 
 knows how to mix the colours on her palette to the best advantage, and by a story- 
 teller who can transhite the lay figures of the past into real men and women. .... 
 We are grateful to Mrs. Olijihant for this very charming and iustructive volume."

 MACMILLAN'S ELEMENTARY CLAS- 
 SICS. iSmo. IS. 6d. each. 
 This Series falls into two classes : — 
 
 (i) First Reading Books for Beginners, 
 provided not only with Introductions and 
 Notes, but with Vocab7daries, and in some 
 cases with Exercises based upon the Text. 
 _ (2) Stepping-stones to the study of par- 
 ticular authors, intended for more advanced 
 students, who are beginning to read such 
 authors as Terence, Plato, the Attic Drama- 
 tists, and the harder parts of Cicero, Horace, 
 Virgil, and Thucydides. 
 
 These are provided with Introductions and 
 Notes, but no Vocabiilary. The Publishers 
 have been led to provide the more strictly 
 Elementary' Books with Vocabularies by the 
 representations of manj' teachers, who hold 
 that beginners do not understand the use of 
 a Dictionarj^ and of others who, in the case 
 of middle-class schools where the cost of 
 books is a serious consideration, advocate the 
 Vocabulary- system on grounds of economy. 
 It is hoped that the two parts of the Series, 
 fitting into one another, may together fulfil 
 all the requirements of Elementary and 
 Preparatory Schools, and the Lower Forms 
 of Public Schools. 
 
 The following Elementary Books, ivith 
 
 Introductions, Notes, and Vocabularies, and 
 
 in some cases with Exercises, are either 
 
 ready or in preparation :
