had found refuge.
As he approached the door, he heard whispering and tittering
amongst his sisters. "The deevil's in the women," said poor
Hobbie; "they would nicker, and laugh, and giggle, if their best
friend was lying a corp--and yet I am glad they can keep up their
hearts sae weel, poor silly things; but the dirdum fa's on me, to
be sure, and no on them."
While he thus meditated, he was engaged in fastening up his horse
in a shed. "Thou maun do without horse-sheet and surcingle now,
lad," he said, addressing the animal; "you and me hae had a
downcome alike; we had better hae fa'en i, the deepest pool o'
Tarras."
He was interrupted by the youngest of his sisters, who came
running out, and, speaking in a constrained voice, as if to
stifle some emotion, called out to him, "What are ye doing there,
Hobbie, fiddling about the naig, and there's ane frae Cumberland
been waiting here for ye this hour and mair? Haste ye in, man;
I'll take off the saddle."
"Ane frae Cumberland!" exclaimed Elliot; and putting the bridle
of his horse into the hand of his sister, he rushed into the
cottage. "Where is he? where is he!" he exclaimed, glancing
eagerly around, and seeing only females; "Did he bring news of
Grace?"
"He doughtna bide an instant langer," said the elder sister,
still with a suppressed laugh.
"Hout fie, bairns!" said the old lady, with something of a good-
humoured reproof, "ye shouldna vex your billy Hobbie that way.--
Look round, my bairn, and see if there isna ane here mair than ye
left this morning."
Hobbie looked eagerly round. "There's you, and the three
titties."
"There's four of us now, Hobbie, lad," said the youngest, who at
this moment entered.
In an instant Hobbie had in his arms Grace Armstrong, who, with
one of his sister's plaids around her, had passed unnoticed at
his first entrance. "How dared you do this?" said Hobbie.
"It wasna my fault," said Grace, endeavouring to cover her face
with her hands to hide at once her blushes, and escape the storm
of hearty kisses with which her bridegroom punished her simple
stratagem,--"It wasna my fault, Hobbie; ye should kiss Jeanie and
the rest o' them, for they hae the wyte o't."
"And so I will," said Hobbie, and embraced and kissed his sisters
and grandmother a hundred times, while the whole party half-
laughed, half-cried, in the extremity of their joy. "I am the
happiest man," said Hobbie, throwing himself down on a seat,
almost exhausted,--"I am the happiest man in the world!"
"Then, O my dear bairn," said the good old dame, who lost no
opportunity of teaching her lesson of religion at those moments
when the heart was best open to receive it,--"Then, O my son,
give praise to Him that brings smiles out o' tears and joy out o'
grief, as He brought light out o' darkness and the world out o'
naething. Was it not my word, that if ye could say His will be
done, ye might hae cause to say His name be praised?"
"It was--it was your word, grannie; and I do praise Him for His
mercy, and for leaving me a good parent when my ain were gane,"
said honest Hobbie, taking her hand, "that puts me in mind to
think of Him, baith in happiness and distress."
There was a solemn pause of one or two minutes employed in the
exercise of mentaldevotion, which expressed, in purity and
sincerity, the gratitude of the affectionate family to that
Providence who had unexpectedly restored to their embraces the
friend whom they had lost.
Hobbie's first enquiries were concerning the adventures which
Grace had undergone. They were told at length, but amounted in
substance to this:--That she was awaked by the noise which the
ruffians made in breaking into the house, and by the resistance
made by one or two of the servants, which was soon overpowered;
that, dressing herself hastily, she ran downstairs, and having
seen, in the scuffle, Westburnflat's vizard drop off, imprudently
named him by his name, and besought him for mercy; that the
ruffian instantly stopped her mouth, dragged her from the house,
and placed her on horseback, behind one of his associates.
"I'll break the accursed neck of him," said Hobbie, "if there
werena another Graeme in the land but himsell!"
She proceeded to say, that she was carried southward along with
the party, and the spoil which they drove before them, until they
had crossed the Border. Suddenly a person, known to her as a
kinsman of Westburnflat, came riding very fast after the
marauders, and told their leader, that his cousin had learnt from
a sure hand that no luck would come of it, unless the lass was
restored to her friends. After some discussion, the chief of the
party seemed to acquiesce. Grace was placed behind her new
guardian, who pursued in silence, and with great speed, the
least-frequented path to the Heugh-foot, and ere evening closed,
set down the fatigued and terrified damsel within a quarter of a
mile of the dwelling of her friends. Many and sincere were the
congratulations which passed on all sides.
As these emotions subsided, less pleasing considerations began to
intrude themselves.
"This is a miserable place for ye a'," said Hobbie, looking
around him; "I can sleep weel eneugh mysell outby beside the
naig, as I hae done mony a lang night on the hills; but how ye
are to put yoursells up, I canna see! And what's waur, I canna
mend it; and what's waur than a', the morn may come, and the day
after that, without your being a bit better off."
"It was a cowardly cruel thing," said one of the sisters, looking
round, "to harry a puir family to the bare wa's this gate."
"And leave us neither stirk nor stot," said the youngest brother,
who now entered, "nor sheep nor lamb, nor aught that eats grass
and corn."
"If they had ony quarrel wi' us," said Harry, the second brother,
"were we na ready to have fought it out? And that we should have
been a' frae hame, too,--ane and a' upon the hill--Odd, an we had
been at hame, Will Graeme's stamach shouldna hae wanted its
morning; but it's biding him, is it na, Hobbie?"
"Our neighbours hae taen a day at the Castleton to gree wi' him
at the sight o' men," said Hobbie, mournfully; "they behoved to
have it a' their ain gate, or there was nae help to be got at
their hands."
"To gree wi' him!" exclaimed both his brothers at once, "after
siccan an act of stouthrife as hasna been heard o' in the country
since the auld riding days!"
"Very true, billies, and my blood was e'en boiling at it; but the
sight o' Grace Armstrong has settled it brawly."
"But the stocking, Hobbie'" said John Elliot; "we're utterly
ruined. Harry and I hae been to gather what was on the outby
land, and there's scarce a cloot left. I kenna how we're to
carry on--We maun a' gang to the wars, I think. Westburnflat
hasna the means, e'en if he had the will, to make up our loss;
there's nae mends to be got out o' him, but what ye take out o'
his banes. He hasna a four-footed creature but the vicious blood
thing he rides on, and that's sair trash'd wi' his night wark.
We are ruined stoop and roop."
Hobbie cast a mournful glance on Grace Armstrong, who returned it
with a downcast look and a gentle sigh.
"Dinna be cast down, bairns," said the grandmother, "we hae gude
friends that winna forsake us in adversity. There's Sir Thomas
Kittleloof is my third cousin by the mother's side, and he has
come by a hantle siller, and been made a knight-baronet into the
bargain, for being ane o' the commissioners at the Union."
"He wadna gie a bodle to save us frae famishing," said Hobbie;
"and, if he did, the bread that I bought wi't would stick in my
throat, when I thought it was part of the price of puir auld
Scotland's crown and independence."
"There's the Laird o' Dunder, ane o' the auldest families in
Tiviotdale."
"He's in the tolbooth, mother--he's in the Heart of Mid-Louden
for a thousand merk he borrowed from Saunders Wyliecoat the
writer."
"Poor man!" exclaimed Mrs. Elliot, "can we no send him
something, Hobbie?"
"Ye forget, grannie, ye forget we want help oursells," said
Hobbie, somewhat peevishly.
"Troth did I, hinny," replied the good-natured lady, "just at the
instant; it's sae natural to think on ane's blude relations
before themsells;--But there's young Earnscliff."
"He has ower little o' his ain; and siccan a name to keep up, it
wad be a shame," said Hobbie, "to burden him wi' our distress.
And I'll tell ye, grannie, it's needless to sit rhyming ower the
style of a' your kith, kin, and allies, as if there was a charm
in their braw names to do us good; the grandees hae forgotten us,
and those of our ain degree hae just little eneugh to gang on wi'
themsells; ne'er a friend hae we that can, or will, help us to
stock the farm again."
"Then, Hobbie, me maun trust in Him that can raise up friends and
fortune out o' the bare moor, as they say."
Hobbie sprung upon his feet. "Ye are right, grannie!" he
exclaimed; "ye are right. I do ken a friend on the bare moor,
that baith can and will help us--The turns o' this day hae dung
my head clean hirdie-girdie. I left as muckle gowd lying on
Mucklestane-Moor this morning as would plenish the house and
stock the Heugh-foot twice ower, and I am certain sure Elshie
wadna grudge us the use of it."
"Elshie!" said his grandmother in astonishment; "what Elshie do
you mean?"
"What Elshie should I mean, but Canny Elshie, the Wight o'
Mucklestane," replied Hobbie.
"God forfend, my bairn, you should gang to fetch water out o'
broken cisterns, or seek for relief frae them that deal wi' the
Evil One! There was never luck in their gifts, nor grace in
their paths. And the haill country kens that body Elshie's an
unco man. O, if there was the law, and the douce quiet
administration of justice, that makes a kingdom flourish in
righteousness, the like o' them suldna be suffered to live! The
wizard and the witch are the abomination and the evil thing in
the land."
"Troth, mother," answered Hobbie, "ye may say what ye like, but I
am in the mind that witches and warlocks havena half the power
they had lang syne; at least, sure am I, that ae ill-deviser,
like auld Ellieslaw, or ae ill-doer, like that d--d villain
Westburnflat, is a greater plague and abomination in a country-
side than a haill curnie o' the warst witches that ever capered
on a broomstick, or played cantrips on Fastern's E'en. It wad
hae been lang or Elshie had burnt down my house and barns, and I
am determined to try if he will do aught to build them up again.
He's weel kend a skilfu' man ower a' the country, as far as
Brough under Stanmore."
"Bide a wee, my bairn; mind his benefits havena thriven wi'
a'body. Jock Howden died o' the very same disorder Elshie
pretended to cure him of, about the fa' o' the leaf; and though
he helped Lambside's cow weel out o' the moor-ill, yet the
louping-ill's been sairer amane; his sheep than ony season
before. And then I have heard he uses sic words abusing human
nature, that's like a fleeing in the face of Providence; and ye
mind ye said yoursell, the first time ye ever saw him, that he
was mair like a bogle than a living thing."
"Hout, mother," said Hobbie, "Elshie's no that bad a chield; he's
a grewsome spectacle for a crookeddisciple, to be sure, and a
rough talker, but his bark is waur than his bite; sae, if I had
anes something to eat, for I havena had a morsel ower my throat
this day, I wad streek mysell down for twa or three hours aside
As he approached the door, he heard whispering and tittering
amongst his sisters. "The deevil's in the women," said poor
Hobbie; "they would nicker, and laugh, and giggle, if their best
friend was lying a corp--and yet I am glad they can keep up their
