The Daily Dispatch: March 11, 1861., [Electronic resource], Horrible Affair. (search)
"Dlana break my heart, lassies. I hope it'll pour rain like the mischief the morn! " "That's not a kind wish, Mrs. Stewart, for we must leave in any weather. Good-bye, in case we leave before you are up in the morning. "Do you think I wad let ye leave my house without rising at ony hour to mak yer breakfasts?" And true enough Mrs. Stewart was up, though not usually an early riser; and when the inhabitants of the village were all astirring, "the nameless lassies" had vanished in the same mysterious manner as they had come. I believe Mrs. Stewart kept up the talk a good while even after we left, for her own amusement. They need it all, poor things; for I know that even when we were there, we heard them talk about the visitors of the preceding summer; and as to how long we would last them in that line, I cannot pretend to guess. But as a secret when told is no secret, we won't tell it now, and let our readers make the most of it, as our Highland neighbors did.
