'Oh my! does it no' do your heart good to look at the lammie?' [little lamb].
'An' what a bonny callant yon is! He'll be fae [from] the sooth, I'se warrant ye.'
There was one tall hill rising up behind the forest, and it was towards this they bent their steps. They were going to climb it, to look around them on the landscape and seascape.
But they had not journeyed more than two miles, and were high up on a heather-clad brae, when Lotty stopped and called Wallace. At the same time she took a satchel from her shoulder and strapped it round the dog.
'Go to granny's,' she said. 'Good boy—away!'
Wallace trotted off. But he stopped when at a little distance, and looked back.
'Yes, Wallace, we'll wait,' cried Lotty, and the noble fellow disappeared.
'Where has he gone, Lotty?'
'To the witch's cottage—my fairy godmother's.'
Lotty threw herself on the sward, and Antony too sat down.
