When Hogg entered the drawing-roomMrs Scottbeing at the time in a delicate state of healthwas reclining on a sofa. The Shepherdafter being presented and making his best bowforthwith took possession of another sofa placed opposite to hers and stretched himself thereupon at all his length; foras he said afterwards‘I thought I could never do wrong to copy the lady of the house’. As his dress at this period was precisely that in which any ordinary herdsman attends cattle to the marketand as his handsmoreoverbore most legible marks of a recent sheep-smearing the lady of the house did not observe with perfect equanimity the novel usage to which her chintz was exposed. The Shepherdhowever r sneaker heelsemarked nothing of all this––dined heartily and drank freelyand by jest anecdoteand song a ?orded plentiful merriment to the more civilised part of the company. As the liquor operatedhis familiarity increased and strengthened; from ‘Mr Scott’ he advanced to ‘Shirra’and thence to ‘Scott’‘Walter’and ‘Wattie’––untilat supperhe fairly convulsed the whole party by addressing Mrs Scott as ‘Charlotte’.
