Five hunnert poun, and after me tellin' him to keep till four hunnert.
Wait till I get ahoult o' him again. I'll speak till him. Did he no'
hear me thumpin' four times on the door till remind him. He must ha'e a soft spot in his heart for Robbie John.
[Tap at door.]
Come in.
[Jane Graeme enters somewhat diffidently.]
Oh its you Miss Graeme.
[Shakes hands.]
Youre welcome indeed. Your father's just gone out wi' my good man.
JANE.
Yes. I know--but I thought perhaps--well that Robbie was in here.
MRS. GRANAHAN.
[Inspecting her critically.]
Deed now, I couldn't tell you where he might be.
JANE.
I'll just sit down a minute. I suppose you are all doing well here Mrs. Granahan?

Aye, that's the poor cratur's belongin'. But you needn't be afeared.
Robbie's indeed been very good. He's nivir played on it to my knowin', and keeps his promise well.
JANE.
Poor Robbie. Do you not think he's unhappy about something or other Mrs. Granahan. He's got very dull and moody this last while.
MRS. GRANAHAN.
Deed now I don't see much odds in him Miss Graeme. He nivir was a great boy with his tongue anyway;
[Slily.]
bar maybe an odd wan or two he would mak' up to.
JANE.
I think you do wrong to keep that fiddle hanging up before his eyes, when he has promised never to play again.
MRS. GRANAHAN.
