MARY MACMURREN (very eagerly to Grizeld).

Dost thou really see him?

ELSPY LOW (in the same manner).

Dost thou see him? or hear him?

MARY MACMURREN.

Is he near us?

ELSPY LOW.

Is he on the moor?

GRIZELD BANE.

Hold your peace, wretches! he may start up by your side in an instant, and scare the very life from your body, if ye forget what I told you.

ELSPY LOW.

I have na' forgotten it.

MARY MACMURREN.

Nor I neither. We're to tak' han's first of a'. (Takes Elspy by the hand, and then turns to Wilkin.) And thine, too, Wilkin.

WILKIN.

Meat, meat!

MARY MACMURREN.

No, glutton; thou mun gi' me thy haun and go round, as I told thee.
