Sicilian_orange19 августа 2013‘I’m your wife, Rob, askin’ ye not to go!’ ‘Aye, aye. I’ll stay,’ said Rob. Jeannie looked up to him. Tears shone in the moonlight. ‘Ye mean it?’ ‘I never braked my word yet,’ said Rob. ‘Except to polis’men and other o’ that kidney, ye ken, and they dinnae count.’ ‘Ye’ll stay? Ye’ll abide by my word?’ said Jeannie, sniffing. Rob sighed. ‘Aye. I will.’ Jeannie was quiet for a while, and then said, in the sharp cold voice of a kelda: ‘Rob Anybody Feegle, I’m tellin’ ye now to go and save the big wee hag.’ ‘Whut?’ said Rob Anybody, amazed. ‘Jus’ noo ye said I was tae stay—’ ‘That was as your wife, Rob. Now I’m telling you as your kelda.’ Jeannie stood up, chin out and looking determined. ‘If ye dinnae heed the word o’ yer kelda, Rob Anybody Feegle, ye can be banished fra’ the clan. Ye ken that. So you’ll listen t’ me guid. Tak’ what men you need afore it’s too late, and go to the mountains, and see that the big wee girl comes tae nae harm. And come back safe yoursel’. That is an order! Nay, ‘tis more’n an order. ‘Tis a geas I’m laying on ye! That cannae be brake!’
