About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Adventures in Thule: Three Stories for Boys Archie, my father is a hard-working man; and it is t easy w to make the farms pay, with the rents high and sheep t selling well at the market. My father has t his troubles to seek, as the minister says. And to think that these Frenchmen should be allowed to go and kill a sheep, just as they want it, when they are going by Farriskeir or Rua; that is what angers me.And me, too, said Archie Livingstone, though it is t my fathers sheep they kill. It angers me because they are. Frenchmen; yes, and thieves besides. But what can you do, Colin? They were still regarding the far islands. If my father would let me, McCalmont said I'd go out and live on Farriskeir until all the French smacks had gone by to Iceland, If they knew any one was on Farriskeir or Rua, that would be eugh. They would soon talk about it among themselves, and there would be more stealing of my fathers sheep. Do you think I would be afraid? I would t be afraid. I would build myself a hut, for there is plenty of wood washed up since the big vessel went ashore on Rua.Colin, said the other, after awhile, I have something to tell you. Do you kw my horse-pistol?Of course I kw it.Would it t be a fine thing, w, if you and I were to go out to Farriskeir and hide behind the rocks, and when the Frenchmen were coming near we might have a shot at them?Yes, and maybe kill some one, said the other, scornfully. That would be a fine thing. It would be a fine thing to be hanged.How could they hang you for that? said the schoolmaster's son. If a man comes into your house to steal your money, you may shoot at him; and if he comes to your island to steal your sheep, why t the same? Besides he is a Frenchman. The sheriff at Storway would t say anything to you for shooting at Frenchman.I don't kw that. I am t going to try, said the elder lad, with a grim sort of a smile. But I will tell you w, Archie, what would be a fine thing. Do you think we could slip away to Farriskeir without being seen? There is one going down to the boat just w; they would t miss it at all. And if any one were asking for us, would they t think we had gone up to sheilling with bread for Marry and Ailasa and the rest of them?
