“And so Andrew has found out he was wrong and Jamie Logan right?”
“Aye, he has. And the very minute he did so, he made up his mind to seek the lad far and near and confess his fault.”
“And bring him back to Christina?”
“Just so. What for not? He parted them, and he has the right and duty to bring them together again, though it take the best years of his life and the last bawbee of his money.”
“Folks were saying his money was all spent.”
“Folks are far wrong then. Andrew has all the money he ever had. Andrew isn’t a bragger, and his money has been silent so far, but it will speak ere long.”
“With money to the fore, you shouldn’t have been so scrimpit with yourselves in such a time of work and trouble. Folks noticed it.”
“I don’t believe in wasting anything, Sabrina, even grief. I did not spend a penny, nor a tear, nor a bit of strength, that was useless. What for should I? And if folks noticed we were scrimpit, why didn’t they think about helping us? No, thank God! We have enough and a good bit to spare, for all that has come and gone, and if it pleases the Maker of Happiness to bring Jamie Logan back again, we will have a bridal that will make a monumental year in Pittendurie.”
“I am glad to hear tell o’ that. I never did approve of two or three at a wedding. The more the merrier.”
“That is a very sound observe. My Christina will have a wedding to be seen and heard tell of from one sacramental occasion to another.”
