Auld Bill took it in to Kirkmichael.
That's the first thing.
Second, Thomas Yownie has took a party to get down the box from the station.
He got Mrs. Sempills' powny, and he took the box ayont the Laver by the ford at the herd's hoose and got it on to the shore maybe a mile ayont Laverfoot. He managed to get the machine up as far as the water, but he could get no farther, for ye'll no' get a machine over the wee waterfa' just before the Laver ends in the sea.
So he sent one o' the men back with it to Mrs.Sempill, and, since the box was ower heavy to carry, he opened it and took the stuff across in bits.
