I wish you well in your wooing , though I ca n't help thinking you 're doing a daft-like thing . I hope you wo n't have any trouble with Thomas and Janet . They are so different from other folks there is no knowing . But take my advice , Master , and go and see them about it right off . Do n't go on meeting Kilmeny unbeknownst to them . '' `` I shall certainly take your advice , '' said Eric , gravely . `` I should have gone to them before . It was merely thoughtlessness on my part . Possibly they do know already . Kilmeny may have told them . '' Mrs. Williamson shook her head decidedly . `` No , no , Master , she has n't . They 'd never have let her go on meeting you there if they had known . I know them too well to think of that for a moment . Go you straight to them and say to them just what you have said to me . That is your best plan , Master . And take care of Neil . People say he has a notion of Kilmeny himself . He 'll do you a bad turn if he can , I 've no doubt . Them foreigners ca n't be trusted -- and he 's just as much a foreigner as his parents before him -- though he HAS been brought up on oatmeal and the shorter catechism , as the old saying has it .
I feel that somehow -- I always feel it when I look at him singing XXXXX the choir . ''
