"Take courage, take courage," said the girl softly, and she went on to her lodge. "'Bonnie Lesley:' the poet says of her what I think of you." Sir Nicholas is quite pleased. There is a sort of unconscious flattery in the gravity of her tone and expression that amuses almost as much as it pleases him. What a funny child she is! and how unspeakably lovely! Will Doatie like her?.
