174 IRRESOLUTE CATHERINE
“ It’s the wisest choice that you’ve made.
And every time ye see me, ye can re¬
member that I know the coward ye are.”
“ He’s forgotten to pay,” said Catherine
blankly to the shepherd as they watched
the gig disappear. “ Oh! what’ll Mrs.
Cockshow say ? ”
Black Heber made no suggestion. There
was only one question just then which
interested him, and he could read its answer
in Catherine’s face.
“ I’ll tie up the horse and come in wi’
you,” said he. “ Maybe I’d best wait and
explain it to her.”

| Description | Violet Jacob (1863-1946) was born into an aristocratic family who had lived at the House of Dun near Montrose since the 15th century. Her classic novel of the 1745 Jacobite rising, 'Flemington” (1911), was highly regarded by John Buchan and is still in print. Jacob had a deep appreciation of the Angus dialect and countryside, and this is evident in her celebrated Scots language poetry in volumes such as 'Song of Angus' (1915). |
