"There are many better mothers, but few such sons. It is easily seen why God could not afford me another. Gavin, I am sure that was lightning." "I think it was; but don't be alarmed, mother."

He never knew that she was many times pining to lay her head upon his breast and tell him of me. Yet I cannot but believe that she always shook when Adam Dishart was spoken of between them.
