Chapter one The RETERN OF A Prodigal It was a dull evening in the month of september seventeen twenty eight. The apprentices had closed and barred the shutters and the day's work was over. Supper was laid in the long room over the shop, the V's were on the table, and round it were standing Bale Anderson and his wife, his foreman, John Gelepsy, and his two apprentices. The latter were furtively eyeing the edibles and wondering how much longer the grace which their master was delivering would be.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door below. No one stirred until the bale had finished his grace, before which time the knock had been twice repeated. LPF woman. The Bailey said when he had brought the grace to an end. Go down below and see who knocks so impatiently. Look through the grill before you open the door. These are nor times when one opens the first stranger who knocks. The old servant, who had been standing behind her mistress, went downstairs. The door was open. And they heard an exclamation of surprise at the answer to her question. Who is it that's knocking as if this house belonged to him? Those gathered upstairs heard the bolts withdrawn. There was a confused sound of talking, and then a heavy step was heard ascending the stairs, and without an introduction, a tall man, wrapped in a cloak, carrying a child of some two years old, strode into the room.
He threw his hat. On to the settle and advanced straight towards the baye, who looked in surprise at this unceremonious entry. Don't you know me, Andrew? Heaven preserve us. The Baileys exclaimed. Why it's Malcolm. Malcolm himself, the visitor repeated. Sound and wind and limb. The Lord be praised, the Bailey exclaimed, as he grasped the other's hand and wrung it warmly. If I thought you dead years and years ago. Janet, this is my brother Malcolm of whom you have often heard me speak. And of whom you can have heard little good, Mistress, if my brother has spoken the truth concerning me, I was ever and ne'er do well while Andrew stuck hard and fast to our father's trade. My husband has ever spoken with affection of you, Janet Anderson said.
The Bailey is not given to speak ill of any much less of his own flesh and blood. And now sit down, Malcolm, supper is waiting, and you are, I doubt not, ready for it. It is ill taking to a fasting man. When you have done you shall tell me what you have been doing for the last fifteen years, and how it comes that you thus suddenly come back among us with your boy. He is no boy of mine, Malcolm said. But I will tell you all about it presently. First, let me lay him down on that settle. For the poor little chap is fast asleep and dead tired out. Elspeth, roll up my cloak and make a pillow for him. That's right, he will do nicely now. You are changed less than any of us. Elspeth, just as hard to look at, and I doubt not, just as soft as your heart, as you used to be when you tried to shield me when I got into scrapes.
And out of suburb. Little was said during the meal. Fortunately the table was bountifully spread, for the newcomer's appetite was prodigious, but at last he was satisfied, and after a long drink at the horn beside him, which Elspeth had filled with ale, he said, There's nothing like a Scottish meal after all.
