was kind of disappointed, she knew that it was no cure of the mischance to grumble; and that there was a time for those mis? haps and a time for the ceilidh. She had more work now, washing what Donald had taken off--the clothes--that wasn't an easy task. She had a job to wash the clothes that he had, falling in the mud and all, and spilling the molasses. When he put off the trouser, the dog would not go near him till his clothes were scrubbed for a spell in warm water. He didn't have any other clothes but a shirt and a pair of trousers for Sunday. And he put that on and went out mowing. Once when he was sharpening the scythe, he looked over towards Cross Malcolm's grain field--and what did he see there bi.it--well, let's after call it in English "Blarag"-- his own white-faced cow.

Chiur e air iad sin is dh'fhaibh e spealadh. Uair de na h-uairibh a bha e giarachadh na speal thug e sxxxl a null air p'irce choirce Chaluim Chrosda, is gu d6 chunnaic e ach Bl'rag, t6 de chrodh fh'in, is i an d'idh bristeadh a stigh do'n ph'irce.

O'n bha'n latha cho breagha is an t-'ite cho uaigneach dh'fhaodadh e tilleadh a spealadh ged nach biodh air ach a l'ine. Sin a rud a rinn e, mat', agus sin 'n uair thuirt Catriona Ghleusda:-- "'S e do chlibistean a 16ir mi, Tha thu nis am freasdail 16ine; A' falbh mar chreutair bhiodh gun n'ire."
