I TRIPPED UPON MY JOURNEY TO THE HOUSE OF SHAWS I'll begin the storyplot of my adventures with a certain morning early in the month of June, the entire year of grace 1751, when I took the key going back time out of the door of my fathers house. The sun started out to shine upon the summit of the hills as I went down the road; and by enough time I needed come so far as the manse, the blackbirds were whistling in your garden lilacs, and the mist that hung surrounding the valley in enough time of the dawn was beginning to arise and die away. Mr. Campbell, the minister of Essendean, was waiting for me by your garden gate, good man! He asked me if I had breakfasted; and hearing which i lacked for nothing, he took my submit both of his and clapped it kindly under his arm. Well, Davie, lad, said he, I'll go with you so far as the ford, to set you along the way. And we started out to walk forward in silence. Are ye sorry to leave Essendean? said he, in a short time. Why, sir, said I, if I knew where I got going, or what was likely to become of me, I would tell you candidly. Essendean is an excellent place indeed, and I have already been very happy there; but I've never been somewhere else. My dad and mother, since they are both dead, I shall be no nearer to in Essendean than in the Kingdom of Hungary, and, to speak truth, if I thought I needed an opportunity to better myself where I got going I would go with a good will.
