Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Domestic Stories "Davis Calderwood! worthy tutor and master! - Davie Calderwood!" The old man made no answer to the call, which he scarce seemed even to hear. He sat not far from the shadow of his college walls, watching the little silvery ripples of the Cam. His doctor´s robes hid a homely dress of gray; his large feet, dangling over the river bank, were clumsily shod, and his white close-cropped hair gave him a Puritanical look, when compared with the cavalier air of the two youths who stood behind him. "Davie Calderwood - wake up, man! News! - great news. And from Scotland! " added the elder lad in a cautious whisper. It pierced the torpor of the old man: he started up with trembling eagerness. "Eh, my dear bairn! - I mean, my Lord - my Lord Gowrie!" - "Hush!" said the youth, bitterly; "let not the birds of the air carry that sound. Was it not crushed out of the earth a year ago? Call me William Ruthven, or else plain William, till with my good sword I win back my title and my father´s name." "Willie - Willie!" murmured the younger brother, in anxious warning. "He´s feared - wee Patrick!" laughed William Ruthven. "He thinks that walls have ears and rivers tongues, and that every idle word I say will go with speed to the vain, withered, old nag in London or to daft King Jamie in Edinburgh!
