The Huron Expositor, 1886-10-15, Page 22 TRA AND TODDY. One daye-it's many a year since but PH nester forget it, though I w live to thage: of Methurn m,sale it Fleing, y coulan by the father's two remev , caine let° the tow look after iome beasts he was thi of buying. He was a small farm the vieeeray, and he had just ste round from, Lucke Itonaldson's a other end of the town. She was a of cousin of his iwife's, and kep Spread Ea le -the best hottle in say, that Mrs. Ronaldson had he place. W el, Mr. Fleeming came him and me to dine with her at thr the clock; and a; famous dinner sh us donee to, • Let'see.e-,-, there was sheep's -head to begin withe and. I aye think ' make a grand foundation for fu ' Operations. , Alr. Fleming and me two good-sieed pletefulls of thein; then we had just a toothful of wh to help them dowe like. Ay! but 1 forget; before the b we had a fainous jorum of warns ree Scotch brosts, made of the best oat in Midlothian ; and after scarting plates clean, licking our lips, and dichting them with the end of the ta cloth, we had about a thimblefu whisky, just to keep the brose in t peeper place;. for they are unco stuff are broSe, and a wee drop of ap make them Sit all the'better on the of the stomach. Weel, after the br came the sheep's head itself, and fonr trotters, sung that very morn as Mrs. Ronaldson told us, by San Armstrong, the blacksmith, and h the best singer in the town; I di mean singer of a psalm tune, but sin of a sheep's head. Now, if there is thing in the World I am fonder of t another, it's A weel singit sheep's he and especiadly the brains. 1 dinna what it m -n maybe it's tr my own lute leeks are sharpened, a partaking friely of sheep's -head brad particularly, if they are made to comfortable 4n the stomach, by the le thocht of wh• sky swallowed neat af wards. An Mrs. Ronald. forget that n the meat hadi been done full justice inecanse the pudding, piping hot, in big brown ba 1 ; and a first-rate p ding it was, /hough my wife says made up of " ' the auld odds and en othe wee -mutton, . dreepina s milk, stinkin batter, musty crusts, a wheels• rain s and currants, twa three strips o orange peel, a snuff cinnamon, ani a permyworth o' tree -at stirred n thegither, set before t fire, and thenl left to providence." II ever, my wif 's aye a wee bit tealous Mistress' Row Idson,and,as I said befo it was real geed, never mind how it w made, and -me and Meister Fleeming p out of sight too good helpings; and the as we'd had a dram after all the oth good things, We didna, like to make distinction with the pudding, so we ju had another taste. After that came t cheese, of cou se, and a pint a piece fine Scotch ale the best Edinburgh ; an then our lt", cl. entertainer returne thanks, and dn iner was concluded. Mrs. Rottaldson now made us a curtse and retired; but the next minute_ sh Was in again, arrying a tray full ted: th creatu•re comforts so dear to Scottie hearts -a neat wee brass kettlet wit the steam curling gracefully out of th spout of it; two good-sized well cu toddy rumm,ers, with a ladle in each made of solid ailver ; a grand cryst basin, with ten or a dozen big nobs o loaf sugar,and a real silver pair of sugar tongs; and last af all, and the beat o ail, the good, honeet sonsie bleak bottle raanmed as fall as it could jam, of fine old, strong, smoky, Scotch whisky leming began the scien Well, providelwith these materials, m and Meister F tile operation of brewing whisky toddy And it was wonderfal to see the chang that came over the spirt of our dreams As lang as the dinner lasted we ha been so thrang stuffing and cra.mming that we'd hardly passed half -a -dozen words between us; bat now as we ladle out the toddy into our glasses, and th steam ascended gratefully into our nos trils, the atri,gs of our tongues were loosed, and wwere soon cracking away like two pen -guns. Meister Flekning discoursed abou ploughs and harhowa and horses and • corn, and the other i lements of his trade ; and I chimed in w h broa. cloth and narrow, shirtings and h eedles • and packthread, tape and trimmings, and the other eclds and ends of my business ; and between whiles we prais- ed the toddy, and helped ourselves to another tumbler. At last we got on to thatneyer-ending subject of wrangling and dispute -the kirk! Mr. Fleemingdye'll observe, like all ray father's folk; was a 'staunch Burgher'and me being an equally staunch Anti -Burgher, we were soon at it, hammer and tongs, arguing and disputing, asserting and contradict- ing. , Mr. Fleeming said his minister was the best in the town. I said hp wasna'. He said he was. ...L. "Prove it," said L `\ "What's the use ?" said Ite,"ye'll only contradick me." "No, I wanna:" said I. "Yes, ye wull," said he. "I tell ye I winna," said I. "I tell ye ye wall," said he. And so we went on. And we got awful dry, for disputing is thirsty work, particularly when it is about the kirk. Kenning how it would be, we had .both taken the precautioe to brew a fresh tumbler of toddy, and an extra strong one, as the subject begood ; but, in the heat of the argument, it ha(' evaporated like wildfire, and Meister Fleeming kindly came to the rescue, saying - "Meister Lees, I think our tumblers need replenishin !" t "So they do," says L And I passed the kettle,and he passed the sugar; and syne was passed the bottle, and drank "Here's to ye." And now I thought it my turn to have a say, so I began - “Speaking' about ministers and preachint” says I, "though I say it that shouldna, there's net a better preacher in the town or ad the country -side, ay, or even in Edinburgh itsel', than my minister." "Hoot -toot, mem heivers !" says Maiater Fleeming. "Hoot -toot, man, nae haivers !" says I. "Weel, weel, he's gude eneuch for a ma' place, and a sma' congregation," _says Meister Fleeming. • "Gude en.ench !" says I, perfectly syne, as to -Jim side, n, to nking er in pped t the kind t the the in to sited ee of e set kail they ture had and isky roth king meal Our syne ble- 1 *of heir rich irits pit oth., the in, die e is nna ger one han ad, ken iaybe it's shupersteetion, or uth-but I always fancy fter ns; sit ast ter - on the present occasion, on, honest woman, did not cessary precaution. After to, a ud- it's ds our Wi' Or o' ele he ow of re, as ut n, er a st he of cl al 111111111.111,M11111a, dumfoundered t at sic presumption- "gude eneuch !-he'sa hantel better not= your auld stick, onyhow !" "No, he isna," says Mr. Fleeming, keeping his teMper, as I was losing "Yes he is," Etaid I. "I tell ye he isna," said Mr. Fleem- ing. "I tell ye he is," said I. "Prove it !" said Mr. Fleeming, copy- ing my words, and only making Me the angrier. 'Trove fiddlesticks !" said I, pushing back my chair from the table. "Weel, weel, weel !" said Mr. Flem- ing, trying to throw oil on the troubled waters, for he saw I was fairly roused; "weel. it's a' as it should ,be, Mr. Lees; we baith hae got gude ministers, and we baith hae the gude sense to ken- when we're weel served,' The Wise Man says, "A soft answer turneth away wrath," and I think it answers all the quicker, when you've drained the last drop of toddy out of your glass. Sol was softened downin a minute, for losh ! I was despeiate.dry, and Mr. Fleeming's rummer was as town as my own. So, thinking it diy turn now to come to the rescue- e "Meister Fleeming," I said, "I think your tumler's empty." -"And so is yours,- Meister Lees, I think." "Weel, I declare, so it is -I never noticed it afore !" And we brewed another good strong sowd of toddy; and I am bound to con- fess that before we finished it we were both getting just a wee bit loud in our confab, and if Mrs. Ronaldsen hadna happened to pop in her head, as if by accident, just to see how we were get- ting on, I do not know how or when the argument might have stopped, or the toddy either. But seeing the exact state of affairs at a glance -and trust -the ladies for that sort of observation- • Mrs. Ronaldson, without saying a word, quietly popped the tea things under my nose with the one hand, and with the other she whipped up the whisky bottle and its belongings. Neither me nor Meister Fleeming cared ower muckle for the tea. It tasted unco fushionless after the toddy, and I wasna sorry when the servant lass looked in to say, that Lord Aitken wanted me to . measure him- as soon as convenient, for a new suit of mourning. Our landlady now came in with the bottle and two glasses, saying she wals real vexed we had to slip away so earn, and after drinking our "doch an dorruee" which we were truly glad of, in case the tea might have disagreed with our stomachs'we drank Mrs. Ronaldson's health in just another half glass, and started off on our way homeward. It was rather kittle work getting on to oer legs at first. We had been sitting so long, ye see, that standing up made lus kind of dizzy, and I had to grip hold of the table for a minute, till I • was just sure of my ground. Meister Fleming fared worse nor me, for be took hold of the door, and not being firm like the able, it fell to, and so did poor Jim Fleeming, landing clean on his face in the midst of the floor. However, we got him up again, though he nearly pulled nee down on the top of him once or twice, and I had half a mind to ask for a mouthful of brandy to settle my, digestion, for the tea had left a nasty wairsh taste in my mouth, and I found a difficulty in seeing straight out of my eyes. Nevertheless, we started home without it, and I had soon bitter cause to repent the omission. But I am a bashful man by nature,and have scrupu- losity against asking for favours; and on the present occasion I had not the face, after Mrs. Ronaldson's extraordin- ary hospitality, to ask for more, either of meat or drink. There had been a good deal of rain, • and the roads were dirty, but there had been no frost, thereforehow it came about I never could make out; but not- withstanding, certain it was, that the roads that night were 131ippier than ever I mind them before or since. It was desperate hard work to keep our feet but we got hold of one another, and barring Mr. Fleeming stachering and pulling, first to one side and then to the other, we managed to make some pro- gress. At last, as we were rounding the turn by the mill -dam, we eame in view of a bright light shining through the trees, and says Mr. Fleeming, pull-, ing up sudden - `Ay,' man, what a bonny. mune "Hallo," thinks I, "the honest rrien'sl fou', and no mistake." I had been half of that opinion two or three times already; sof says in a kind of conciliating way - "Hoots man, its no the moon ava, its the sun." Ctr x e're a big leear, Ritchie Lees; its the full mune !" says he. "Ye're a leear yersel," its the settin' sun," says 1; "and what's more; any man as calls me a leear, I'll soon let him ken," and I was beginning to pull my coat off. "Ga.e wa, man, it's na use fechtin' about it; here's a man comin,' let's speir at him, and ye'll see whads right. t Well, I looked up, and sure enough, there was a man coming down the lane. At first I thought he must be a contract- or, for he keepit going first at the tae side of the road, and syne to the tither. When • he Came up Mr. Iteemine said- , "Gude-nicht, freend; would ye jist stop a meenit ?" Then 'minting in the direction, he said- ,"D'ye see you light yonder ?" The man • was a considerable time or he could be got to see it at all, and we had both to turn him round in the direction. At last he said, in a thick husky indistinct kind of -voice, that he saw it "as clear as noonday." "Hallo !" thinks I, "he's on my side already." "Weel," says Mr. Fleeming, "me and my neebor hern-has had a fad -Out Labeut. it. I say its the mune, and he says its the settin' sun. Now, wha.t div ye say, freend ?" We waited for his answer in breathlese silence. At last he says, steadying himself up against a tree - "Gentlemen, I wouldn't erac-exact- ly like to give a de -decided opinion,for the fact is, nil a -a stranger in . these parts !" The man went away measuring the road as before, and Mr. Fleeming roared out after him - "I dinna care what ye • say --its the mune !" "It's the settin' sun !" I roared out louder still. "What's the mune ?-what's the sue ?" said a voice close beside us. "Yon !" cried Jim and me, both point - ing to the light. d'Yon I" (Tied the miller's an, for it was him -"Ye twit daft i iote ! yon'e ithe doctor's larripi shinia' t rou h the trees!" and the body nidkered and leuch at, no allowance.

AWay he went, b,ut in a element after he reared back -"Look out fpr the light now !" a,nd on looking up it was sudden- ly put out, and the • road was left in total darkness. "Whaur's your mune now4im Fleem- ing..?" he cried ; "your sun's gane down a' thegither, Ritchie?" Mr. Fleerning and me stoitered on witheut saying a word till we reached the bridge. It was a plain stone arch, without a vestige of wall on either side, and 1 Cried out to my neighbor to take' tent. Whether I frightened him or no I -know net, bit I had hardly said • •a , word when -he came bearing acrosS, and caught haud to me like grim death. I was on the very edge of the brig, and before I kenned .what had ha,ppene,d, ever I went- bodily, into the dam, with Jim Fleeming on the top of me. "Gude save. us ! whaur, am el?" said Jim. -, "In the bed o' the lade,- ye fule ; and the water'll be here in a minute !" I said. ' • "If I had kent it was Sae far doun, I aradna hae come !" said Jim. "I wish you had come your lane, and let me gang hame !", I said, as I tried to scrammei on to my legs; but I just slipped back again into the soft glaur• and shish. To make a long story short, the water was let on. &rant it came through th ili lade, reshing ancl tearing and carry- ing all -before it.
