When
the
big
teamster
stood
back
to
look
at
his
work
he
laughingly
quoted
,
“
’
Neat
,
but
no
’
gaudy
,
’
as
McLean
says
.
All
we
’
re
,
needing
now
is
a
coat
of
paint
to
make
a
cupboard
that
would
turn
Sarah
green
with
envy
.
Ye
’
ll
find
that
safe
an
’
dry
,
lad
,
an
’
that
’
s
all
that
’
s
needed
.
”
“
Mr
.
Duncan
,
”
said
Freckles
,
“
I
don
’
t
know
why
you
are
being
so
mighty
good
to
me
;
but
if
you
have
any
jobs
at
the
cabin
that
I
could
do
for
you
or
Mrs
.
Duncan
,
hours
off
the
line
,
it
would
make
me
mighty
happy
.
”
Duncan
laughed
.
“
Ye
needna
feel
ye
are
obliged
to
me
,
lad
.
Ye
mauna
think
I
could
take
a
half
-
day
off
in
the
best
hauling
season
and
go
to
town
for
boxes
to
rig
up
,
and
spend
of
my
little
for
fixtures
.
”
“
I
knew
Mr
.
McLean
sent
you
,
”
said
Freckles
,
his
eyes
wide
and
bright
with
happiness
.
“
It
’
s
so
good
of
him
.
How
I
wish
I
could
do
something
that
would
please
him
as
much
!
”
“
Why
,
Freckles
,
”
said
Duncan
,
as
he
knelt
and
began
collecting
his
tools
,
“
I
canna
see
that
it
will
hurt
ye
to
be
told
that
ye
are
doing
every
day
a
thing
that
pleases
the
Boss
as
much
as
anything
ye
could
do
.
Ye
’
re
being
uncommon
faithful
,
lad
,
and
honest
as
old
Father
Time
.
McLean
is
trusting
ye
as
he
would
his
own
flesh
and
blood
.
”
“
Oh
,
Duncan
!
”
cried
the
happy
boy
.
“
Are
you
sure
?
”
“
Why
I
know
,
”
answered
Duncan
.
“
I
wadna
venture
to
say
so
else
.
In
those
first
days
he
cautioned
me
na
to
tell
ye
,
but
now
he
wadna
care
.
D
’
ye
ken
,
Freckles
,
that
some
of
the
single
trees
ye
are
guarding
are
worth
a
thousand
dollars
?
”
Freckles
caught
his
breath
and
stood
speechless
.
“
Ye
see
,
”
said
Duncan
,
“
that
’
s
why
they
maun
be
watched
so
closely
.
They
tak
’
,
say
,
for
instance
,
a
burl
maple
—
bird
’
s
eye
they
call
it
in
the
factory
,
because
it
’
s
full
o
’
wee
knots
and
twists
that
look
like
the
eye
of
a
bird
.
They
saw
it
out
in
sheets
no
muckle
thicker
than
writin
’
paper
.
