And Nanny Swinton wore her new gown and cockernonie, and blessed her bairn and her bairn's bairn, through tears that were now no more than a sunny shower, the silver mist of the past storm There was brooding heat on the moors and a glory on the sea when Staneholme rode by his lady's coach, within sight of home There will be no great gathering to-night, Staneholme; no shots or cheers; no lunt in the blue sky; only doubt and amaze about an old man and wife: but there will be two happy hearts that were heavy as stane before.— Girlhood and Womanhood The Story of some Fortunes and Misfortunes
