I know not; but Watt did love his cousin (twenty times removed) with a vehemence pro-z portioned to the turbulent strength of his cha reeter. The baillie was not perfectly satisfied with the evident partiality of the young people. Watt, to be sure, was coshe of gentle kin, and was a shrewd, active fellow, and by this time well ui indispensable in the business; but his who e income amounted to no more then hit pounds per annum, and even that, to get r with his future prospects, depended on the baillie himself. The father, too, was proud of his daughter, and thought, perhaps With good reason, that she might aspire to a much higher match: she was the admiration of all the young men of the town, who toasted her health in huge bumpers of rum teddy, after the fashion of Greenelm; and even the strangers, he observed, whom business already brought from far and near to this rising port, theav sheep's eyes' at her as she tripped along. Mere than one of his mercantile correspond ents too - good men and warm - who had ex pericaced his hospitality, remembered in their letters the sweetness of the May-?ower, as they gallant] termed her, and inquired warmly after her h th. No positive declaration, however, had as yet been made by any of her admirers.
