Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scottish Sketches He had a fixed idea that it always had been theirs, and whenever he told himself - as he did this night - that so many acres of old Scotland were actually his own, he was aggressively a Scotchman. "It is a bonnie bit o´ land," he murmured, "and I hae done as my father Laird Archibald told me. If we should meet in another warld I´ll be able to gie a good account o´ Crawford and Traquare. It is thirty years to-night since he gave me the ring off his finger, and said, ´Alexander, I am going the way o´ all flesh; be a good man, and grip tight.´ I hae done as he bid me; there is £80,000 in the Bank o´ Scotland, and every mortgage lifted. I am vera weel pleased wi´ mysel´ to-night. I hae been a good holder o´ Crawford and Traquare." His self-complacent reflections were cut short by the entrance of his daughter. She stood beside him, and laid her hand upon his arm with a caressing gesture. No other living creature durst have taken that liberty with him; but to Crawford his daughter Helen was a being apart from common humanity. She was small, but very lovely, with something almost Puritanical in her dainty, precise dress and carefully snooded golden hair.
