As for Davie and Catriona, I shall watch you pretty close in the next
days, and see if you are so bold as to be laughing at papa and mamma.
It is true we were not so wise as we might have been, and made a great
deal of sorrow out of nothing; but you will find as you grow up that
even the artful Miss Barbara, and even the valiant Mr. Alan, will be
not so very much wiser than their parents. For the life of man upon
this world of ours is a funny business. They talk of the angels
weeping; but I think they must more often be holding their sides as
they look on; and there was one thing I determined to do when I began
this long story, and that was to tell out everything as it befell.
