"No?" says Lauderdale, laughing. "But why, then? There is no other Mrs. Rodney, is there?" Of Christian charity "It might be that ye'd take a dhrop of new milk, too," says Betty, "on hospitable thoughts intent," placing before her visitors a little jug of milk she has all day been keeping apart, poor soul! for her own delectation. "I'll tell you all something," he says, "though I hardly think I ought, if you will swear not to betray me.".
