"He is sae ill that I hae very little hope o' him," said Mrs. Skirving.
"Good G.o.d!" replied the man, "is it possible? I have murdered him." And he groaned in distress.

"Six o' us wagered, three against three, and twa to ane," he proceeded, "that our side wadna put your husband to his bed. We met him in Fife at different places o' the road, and terrified him, by describing his looks, into an opinion that he was unwell. I'm come to make amends.
