126 CARAVAN DAYSHerbert's reply may be said to have been in theaffirmative." Driver !"This time in a more imperativetone." That big horse of yoursis loose and doin'damage." . . .... I have never got to the bottom of thematter of Sam and the two kittens at Ballantrae.Perhaps my enquiries were rather half-hearted.But something happened in the course of thenightwhich was not at all to his credit. I wasgiven to understand that there were really toomany kittens, however, and the stable was noproper place for them. . . .Now that all is over Simon isenjoying cheerfuldaysof idleness in the Bank End field. He ispretty rough and disreputable in appearance,and he has shown at times no little contempt, asbecomes a traveller of experience,for the restraintsof gates and fences.He came over to methis morning, as I went down the lane, in searchof butterscotch. Sam is no longer with us. Heis in retirement on a farm in Cumberland. Allthat is left of him and my Partner has decreedthat it be framed in oak and hung in the middleroomof SIEGLINDA is a large red card bearingthe words FIRST PRIZE.
CHAPTER XVISPECIMEN DAYSTHE journey from Coupar Angus to Dunkeld liesthrough the very heart of the Scottish Midlands,a glowing country in the month of June, richlywooded and fertile, with arches of honeysucklein the hedges and a counterpane of margueritescast every here and there in the meadows. Thebest thing that we saw that day was the eightyfootbeech hedge at Meikleour, and fortune wasall in our favour, as it was only by taking awrong turning that we passed that way. Andthen we came down into the Tay Valley andthat is the finest river of them all andentered Dunkeld. We came to know all the fourmain roads that run out ofDunkeld before ourjourneys were over, and the camp that we occupiedthat night we visited twice again in thefollowing summer. We crossed Telford's famousbridge and turned up the right bank of the Tay fora mile, by a road that was smothered in foliage,till we came to the junction of the Braan Water,127
