Présentation de l'éditeur
Kate Mc Leod, contempt in both words and looks. A ye, Im wee, but Im that bauld and firrm, said little Easie Dow, facing her would-be employer dauntlessly. She was indeed small for her thirteen years :she looked almost like a child of ten. Kate eyed her again, calculating whether any work worthy the name could be got out of such a tiny creature; yet the childs air and her words were impressive. She stood there bolt upright; thin arms like bits of stick held in to her sides, fingers clenched :I mwee, but Im that bauld and firrm, she repeated. At the distance they stood from each other, Kate could not hear the frantic thumping of Easie sheart, which might have given the lie to these brave words. Kate herself was a mountainous woman, tall, bulky, big-boned, almost masculine in appearance. Her face looked as if it had been roughly hacked out of a bit of wood, her skin was like hide, and her hair like coarse black linen thread ;her voice was loud and gruff altogether an alarming personality.
