This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

"Is this the way to the manse of Dullarg?" asked the young man, standing up with his hat in his hand, the brim just beneath his chin. He was a handsome young man when he stood up straight. Jess looked at him attentively. They did not speak in that way in her country, nor did they take their hats in their hands when they had occasion to speak to young women. "I am myself going past the Dullarg," she said, and paused with a hiatus like an invitation. "This is the first time you have been hereaway?" Ralph nodded a quick affirmative and smiled. "Then," said Jess Kissock, the rich blood mantling her dark cheeks, "I am the first from the Dullarg you have spoken to!" "The very first!" said Ralph. "Then I am glad," said Jess Kissock. But in the young man's heart there was no answering gladness, though in very sooth she was an exceeding handsome maid.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...upon your outstretched tongue. Sweetheart stands still for a moment while she illustrates the ease with which this notable feat can be performed. Now you cannot possibly do this upon an ordinary day. Again, it is jolly to come out in the rain, because you have not to pick your way among the puddles. And for an excellent reason. It is all puddle together. There is but one slight drawback. The wind blows the small maid's hair all about her eyes, making in the meantime a picture of windtossed gold tangled above a scarlet cloak. But Sweetheart fears that the result will be "dreadfully tuggy " when it comes bedtime. But bedtime is far away, and, as soon as we are really in the woods, the fears of the future and of the stern comb of ruthless Fate are alike forgotten. There is a rook upon the pinnacle of the church. Sweetheart says that there is always one there. I assert hastily that she means a jackdaw. But she does not, as it appears. For this particular rook dwells in patriarchal ease among a colony of jacks, having probably been expatriated from his own community for reasons into which it is better not to enter. In fact, we may say, without fear of an action for libel, that he left his country for his country's good. Whether Mr. Rook dwells in the jackdaws' country for his own good or theirs is a still unsolved problem. Sweetheart thinks that a rook upon a church tower is somehow in keeping with the ecclesiastical surroundings. For, by a simple association of ideas, she asks next why clergymen always dress in black. "What else could they dress in?" I reply, thinking a simple and Socratic method the safest. Sweetheart does not know, because the idea of a clergyman arrayed in any other colour than black has not yet dawned...
