Please d'ye ken anything about Thora Kinlay?
gpt
Anything about Thora? I asked, surprised at the inquiry.
human
Why, Ann, what's gone wrong wi' her?
gpt
We're feared she's lost, said the woman.
human
She went outby in the forenoon, and she hasna come back yet.
gpt
Did she not say where she was going to?
human
No; and we've heard nothing o' her. We canna think what can hae come ower her.
gpt
But where are Carver and Tom, and the boat's crew? I asked.
human
Have they not been out seeking for the lass?
gpt
No; they're all away in the St. Magnus; and the mistress is ill in her bed. The shepherd and me has been seekin' Thora all the night, and I've come to Lyndardy, thinkin' ye might hae seen her yestreen.
human
No; I havena seen Thora these nine or ten weeks past, I said.
gpt
But if she be out in this storm she must be looked for; so bide here a wee, Ann, and I'll come out and help ye.
