Haud
your
tongues
and
let
me
speak
.
Johnnie
Dow
says
the
Presbytery
had
it
a
’
riddled
out
,
and
it
seems
it
was
nae
fairy
but
a
leevin
’
lassie
.
And
wha
think
ye
she
was
?
Nae
less
than
the
young
mistress
o
’
Calidon
.
"
The
women
exclaimed
,
most
of
them
incredulous
.
"
But
that
’
s
no
a
’
.
It
seems
that
she
and
the
minister
had
made
it
up
thegither
and
she
was
promised
till
him
.
Mr
.
Fordyce
o
’
Cauldshaw
telled
that
to
the
Presbytery
.
"
"
Heard
ye
ever
the
like
?
Will
Sempill
be
hingin
’
up
his
bonnet
at
Calidon
and
turnin
’
frae
minister
to
laird
?
The
lassie
will
no
doubt
heir
the
place
,
and
it
’
s
weel
kenned
that
Sempill
has
walth
o
’
gear
o
’
his
ain
.
"
"
He
canna
weel
do
that
if
he
’
s
excommunicat
.
He
’
ll
aiblins
[
perhaps
]
be
for
fleein
’
the
country
like
the
auld
laird
,
and
takin
’
the
quean
wi
’
him
.
"
"
Ye
havena
heard
the
end
o
’
the
tale
,
"
said
the
first
speaker
.
"
Dinna
yatter
like
pyets
,
or
I
winna
get
it
telled
.
.
.
.
The
lassie
is
deid
-
-
deid
three
days
syne
o
’
a
backcast
o
’
the
pest
,
and
the
minister
is
no
to
haud
nor
bind
wi
’
grief
.
Johnnie
said
he
sat
yestreen
at
Kirk
Aller
wi
’
a
face
like
a
corp
and
took
his
paiks
as
mild
as
a
wean
,
and
him
for
ordinar
’
sic
an
ettercap
.
Johnnie
thriepit
that
he
had
maybe
lost
his
reason
.
"
There
was
silence
among
her
hearers
,
and
only
Jean
of
the
Chasehope
-
foot
laughed
.
"
She
’
s
weel
oot
o
’
it
,
"
she
said
,
"
and
he
’
s
weel
served
.
"
"
Wheesht
,
wumman
,
"
said
one
.
"
The
lad
has
sinned
,
but
he
’
s
but
young
,
and
his
punishment
is
maybe
ower
sair
.
"
There
was
a
movement
among
the
crowd
,
for
the
ministers
were
seen
approaching
.
They
were
received
by
the
elders
and
conducted
to
the
minute
session
-
house
,
which
was
a
pendicle
on
the
east
wall
of
the
kirk
.
The
congregation
,
according
to
custom
,
now
entered
the
building
,
whence
could
presently
be
heard
the
sound
of
slow
psalmody
.
Robb
the
beadle
waited
at
the
single
door
till
the
ministers
reappeared
,
Mr
.
Muirhead
in
Geneva
gown
and
bands
,
Mr
.
Proudfoot
in
his
country
homespun
,
for
he
was
a
despiser
even
of
sanctioned
forms
.
