On the other side sat\n\nAgnes knitting, her skirt gathered into her lap and her woollen petticoat\n\nkilted to her knees.\n\n\"Good-day to ye\u201d said the young man pausing in the doorway. Agues\n\nnarrowed her eyes to see who it was that stood silhouetted in the bright\n\ndoorway, while Petie, too indolent to turn around, scanned her face as\n\nif hoping to see reflected there the identity of the visitor. \"Ah, Fergus,\n\nye scairt us!\u201d cried Agnes when she recognised who it was. \"Gome in, con,\n\nand dont stand there like a bagman. ut that animal away from ye, otie,\n\nand let Fergus sit down. She enquired after the young man\u2019s grandmother,\n\nand then Pentland fell to stroking the dog\u2019s head and there was silence\n\nfor a time.\n\n\"And are ye bravely yourseLf\u201d enquired Agnes at last.\n\nFergus paused long enough to give his answer the proper note of\n\ndoubt and despondency. \"Ah, 1 suppose I\u2019m rightly, he answered with a\n\nslight nod that implied exactly the opposite.\n\nAgnes glanced quickly at him over her knitting, \"Petie\" she said\n\ntake that animal away out and hae a dander t\u2019yoursel\u2019\". Obediently the\n\nold man pushed Kipper towards the door and left the house.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
