Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Laird O Cockpen ´Comfort - comfort scorned of devils, This is truth, the poet sings, That a sorrow´s crown of sorrow Is remembering happier things!" "Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.´ "Jean, have ye taken the bit lassie up her cup o´milk?" "Deed no, mem, it hae just sleepit my memory, but I´ll e´en go wi´ it at once. I doubt if the bairn´s wakin´ though, she was ower tired the nicht." The voices roused me and I sprang up from bed and went over to the window. It looked out on a small yard, and there stood Jean the old Scotch servant whose voice I had heard. She was talking to Grannie, who was in the kitchen. I threw open the window and let the sweet June air into the quaint little room which I had only seen as yet by candlelight. The noise of the opening window attracted Jean´s attention. She looked up and saw me. A look of alarm crossed her face - wrinkled and brown as a crab-apple. "Are ye daft, lassie, to be standing there wi´ no covering save yon bit linen stuff? Back to bed wi´ ye this minnit. We´ve no wish to hae ye sick on our hands, and a nice character ye brought too. Aye, but the mistress is gangin´ to ye the noo, and siccan a scolding as she can give! But I´m just thinking ye´ll be the better o´ it."
