Did
ever
you
hear
,
"
said
I
,
"
of
Mr.
Rankeillor
of
the
Ferry
?
"
"
Rankeillor
the
writer
?
"
said
she
.
"
I
daur
say
that
!
"
"
Well
,
"
said
I
,
"
it
's
to
his
door
that
I
am
bound
,
so
you
may
judge
by
that
if
I
am
an
ill-doer
;
and
I
will
tell
you
more
,
that
though
I
am
indeed
,
by
a
dreadful
error
,
in
some
peril
of
my
life
,
King
George
has
no
truer
friend
in
all
Scotland
than
myself
.

Her
face
cleared
up
mightily
at
this
,
although
Alan
's
darkened
.
"
That
's
more
than
I
would
ask
,
"
said
she
.
"
Mr.
Rankeillor
is
a
kennt
man
.
"
And
she
bade
us
finish
our
meat
,
get
clear
of
the
clachan
as
soon
as
might
be
,
and
lie
close
in
the
bit
wood
on
the
sea-beach
.
"
And
ye
can
trust
me
,
"
says
she
,
"
I
'll
find
some
means
to
put
you
over
.
"
At
this
we
waited
for
no
more
,
but
shook
hands
with
her
upon
the
bargain
,
made
short
work
of
the
puddings
,
and
set
forth
again
from
Limekilns
as
far
as
to
the
wood
.
It
was
a
small
piece
of
perhaps
a
score
of
elders
and
hawthorns
and
a
few
young
ashes
,
not
thick
enough
to
veil
us
from
passersby
upon
the
road
or
beach
.
Here
we
must
lie
,
however
,
making
the
best
of
the
brave
warm
weather
and
the
good
hopes
we
now
had
of
a
deliverance
,
and
planing
more
particularly
what
remained
for
us
to
do
.

We
had
but
one
trouble
all
day
;
when
a
strolling
piper
came
and
sat
in
the
same
wood
with
us
;
a
red-nosed
,
bleareyed
,
drunken
dog
,
with
a
great
bottle
of
whisky
in
his
pocket
,
and
a
long
story
of
wrongs
that
had
been
done
him
by
all
sorts
of
persons
,
from
the
Lord
President
of
the
Court
of
Session
,
who
had
denied
him
justice
,
down
to
the
Bailies
of
Inverkeithing
who
had
given
him
more
of
it
than
he
desired
.
It
was
impossible
but
he
should
conceive
some
suspicion
of
two
men
lying
all
day
concealed
in
a
thicket
and
having
no
business
to
allege
.
As
long
as
he
stayed
there
he
kept
us
in
hot
water
with
prying
questions
;
and
after
he
was
gone
,
as
he
was
a
man
not
very
likely
to
hold
his
tongue
,
we
were
in
the
greater
impatience
to
be
gone
ourselves
.
The
day
came
to
an
end
with
the
same
brightness
;
the
night
fell
quiet
and
clear
;
lights
came
out
in
houses
and
hamlets
and
then
,
one
after
another
,
began
to
be
put
out
;
but
it
was
past
eleven
,
and
we
were
long
since
strangely
tortured
with
anxieties
,
before
we
heard
the
grinding
of
oars
upon
the
rowing-pins
.
At
that
,
we
looked
out
and
saw
the
lass
herself
coming
rowing
to
us
in
a
boat
.
She
had
trusted
no
one
with
our
affairs
,
not
even
her
sweetheart
,
if
she
had
one
;
but
as
soon
as
her
father
was
asleep
,
had
left
the
house
by
a
window
,
stolen
a
neighbour
's
boat
,
and
come
to
our
assistance
single-handed
.
I
was
abashed
how
to
find
expression
for
my
thanks
;
but
she
was
no
less
abashed
at
the
thought
of
hearing
them
;
begged
us
to
lose
no
time
and
to
hold
our
peace
,
saying
(
very
properly
)
that
the
heart
of
our
matter
was
in
haste
and
silence
;
and
so
,
what
with
one
thing
and
another
,
she
had
set
us
on
the
Lothian
shore
not
far
from
Carriden
,
had
shaken
hands
with
us
,
and
was
out
again
at
sea
and
rowing
for
Limekilns
,
before
there
was
one
word
said
either
of
her
service
or
our
gratitude
.
