David
made
a
great
to
-
do
about
his
visit
to
Newbiggin
.
On
the
Monday
morning
he
announced
it
to
Isobel
,
and
in
an
hour
the
word
had
gone
through
the
village
.
His
housekeeper
seemed
to
receive
the
news
with
relief
.
"
Blithe
I
am
to
hear
it
,
sir
.
Folk
suld
whiles
change
their
ground
like
bestial
,
and
ye
’
ve
been
ower
lang
tethered
to
this
parochine
.
Newbiggin
will
be
a
caller
bit
in
this
lown
weather
,
and
while
ye
’
re
awa
’
I
’
ll
get
your
chamber
cleaned
and
the
stairs
washed
doun
.
Dinna
haste
to
come
back
,
for
I
’
ll
no
look
for
ye
or
Setterday
.
"
He
set
off
on
the
Tuesday
after
midday
,
and
there
were
many
eyes
in
Woodilee
to
mark
his
going
.
That
night
he
duly
slept
at
Newbiggin
,
but
the
next
day
,
which
was
Lammas
Eve
,
he
left
his
cousin
’
s
house
and
rode
up
Clyde
water
into
the
farthest
moors
.
It
was
a
wide
circuit
,
which
brought
him
in
the
afternoon
to
the
uplands
which
separate
Rood
from
Annan
.
All
day
he
had
been
out
of
sight
of
human
dwelling
,
and
the
first
he
saw
was
in
the
dusk
,
when
he
descended
upon
the
tower
of
Calidon
by
the
glen
of
the
Calidon
burn
.
At
Calidon
he
left
his
horse
with
the
grieve
,
promising
to
return
for
it
on
the
morrow
,
and
,
with
one
look
at
the
lit
windows
of
the
tower
,
he
set
out
on
foot
to
ford
the
Rood
.
About
nine
o
’
clock
in
the
mulberry
gloaming
he
reached
the
cottage
of
the
Greenshiel
.
Three
figures
greeted
him
there
.
One
was
the
herd
of
the
outer
hirsel
,
Richie
Smail
;
another
was
Rab
Prentice
,
the
herd
of
the
home
hirsel
,
who
sat
on
the
turf
deas
at
the
cottage
-
end
with
his
crutch
beside
him
;
the
third
was
Reiverslaw
himself
,
who
was
also
seated
,
smoking
a
pipe
of
tobacco
.
"
Ye
’
re
in
braw
time
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
"
said
the
last
.
"
Did
ye
pass
ony
folk
on
the
road
?
"
"
I
have
seen
no
man
since
the
morning
,
except
the
Calidon
grieve
half
an
hour
syne
.
"
"
And
that
’
s
just
as
weel
.
Richie
,
kindle
the
cruisie
,
for
our
job
is
better
done
indoors
.
"
The
feeble
light
in
the
hut
revealed
a
curious
assembly
.
The
two
shepherds
had
faces
of
portentous
gravity
,
and
their
twitching
mouths
and
restless
eyes
were
proof
of
an
extreme
discomfort
.
Reiverslaw
wore
his
usual
frieze
small
-
clothes
and
boot
-
hose
,
but
he
had
no
coat
,
though
he
had
slung
on
his
arm
what
might
have
been
that
garment
.
He
flung
this
on
the
settle
.
"
It
’
s
ower
het
to
wear
that
muckle
maud
till
the
time
comes
.
We
maun
get
to
business
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
for
you
should
be
on
the
road
afore
the
moon
rises
.
We
’
re
here
to
get
our
plan
strauchtit
oot
and
there
’
s
jimp
[
scarcely
]
time
.
Rab
Prentice

en
days
.

"
"
Fine
,
"
said
the
shepherd
.
"
There

s
no
sic
another
fowl
in
the
countryside
?
