set his heart on Allison Bain years ago when she was only a child--a strange-like thing for such a man to do. He went to work warily,
Coach Store, and got her father and even her mother on his side--or so it is said. But Allie herself would have naught to say to him. She laughed at first, and then she scoffed at his advances, and Willie, her only brother, upheld her in her scorning--for a while. But Willie went wrong--and from bad to worse; but now he is in the tollbooth at Aberdeen, as you have heard. But I believe that even now the poor lassie would have a fairer chance of a peaceful life if they were to get away to begin again together, when his time is over, than ever she can hope for in the house of her husband. And the lad would be stronger,
Coach Factory, and have a better chance with his sister's help. I fear--though I would say it to none but you--I fear that Allison's consent was won at last by no fair means."
"I doubt she has heard of it already. All I know is soon told. Brownrig came to me one night, saying that Allison Bain had promised to marry him,

Cheap Ralph Lauren, and chiefly because the mother was near her end, and would die happier knowing that her dear daughter was in good keeping. This was for me, it seemed--for I was told afterward that the mother was in no state for days before that to know what was going on about her.
"And how came the marriage about at last? And where was her brother?"
"As for me, I had many doubts. But I had no opportunity to speak to her or her father till after their names had been cried in the kirk, and I thought it was too late to speak then. But oh, man! I wish I had. For when he brought her down to the manse with only two friends to witness the marriage, and I saw her face, my heart misgave me, and I had to say a word to her whatever might happen. So, when Brownrig's back was turned for a minute, I took her by the hand,

"He had fallen into trouble by that time. He had got in with ill folk that made use of him for their own purposes. There had been much meddling with the game on the Blackhills estate, and one night one of the gamekeepers got a sore hurt in a fight with some of those who had been long suspected. His life was despaired of for a time, and it was on Willie Bain that the blame was laid. At any rate he kept out of the way. It was said afterward that Brownrig had wrought on his fears through some of his companions,
Coach Purses, and in the meantime to save her brother,
http://www.louisvuittonmw.com, as she thought, Allison's consent was won."
"It will be an ill day for Brownrig when Allison shall hear of that."
"Yes, frank he was, and a fine lad in many ways; but he was not of a strong will, and was easily led away. Allison was far the stronger of the two, even when they were children. It breaks my heart to think what a woman she might have become in favourable circumstances, and now, I fear, she has much suffering before her. Her mother's helplessness--she was bedridden for years before she died--laid too much on Allison, and she has grown changed,
Discount Polo Shirts, they say, and hard. She was ay more like her father than her mother,
Gucci Outlet, except for her sweet looks."
"I mind Willie, a nice little lad, merry and frank and well-doing. I should never have thought of such a fate for him."
