A Literary Rendering


A SCOTCH lady gave her servant very particular instructions regarding

visitors, explaining, that they were to be shown into the drawing-room,

and no doubt used the Scotticism, Carry any ladies that call up

stairs. On the arrival of the first visitors, Donald was eager to show

his strict attention to the mistress's orders. Two ladies came together,

and Donald, seizing one in his arms, said to the other, Bide ye there

till I come for ye, and, in spite of her struggles and remonstrances,

ushered the terrified visitor into his mistress's presence in this

unwonted fashion.
