had thought of it, but braved it, rather than

the dry straw was. If the gossips had known
this little turn of the transaction, doubtless
it would not have escaped their comments.
But we must return to the common, and see
how matters are going on there.
Tom Murdoch had witnessed from NO great

were to mingle in the may dance, to the en-

as he could not see the game, had been the

hopping the brass ends of his pipes upon q
square polished-leather patch, stitched upon
the knee of his breaches.
There now appeared to be some sort of
hitch as to the dance coming off at all, in CON
sequence of the untoward event " which had
already considerably marred the harmony of
the meeting for it would be idle to deny that
dissatisfaction and doubt still fingered in the
hearts of Shanvilia. Both sides had brought
barrel of beer for the occasion, which by this
time it was almost necessary to put upon "the
