COPIED FROM "ELORA" by John CONNON 1930
It was during this interval that one Sabbath evening, just as we were retiring to bed, Mr. Mair, accompanied by Mr. William Mackie unexpectedly came in upon us. I had heard from Mr. Brown, who had assigned to Mr. Mair one of his lots, of his intended coming; our meeting therefore, though at the moment unexpected, was most cordial on both sides. They remained with us that night, and next morning I accompanied them to Mr. Brown's. Mr. Mair, with characteristic energy, set about building a shanty, and was able in a few days to bring up his family; one girl only, not so robust as the rest, was left in Elora. Mr. Brown and I, having occasion to go to Elora on the succeeding Saturday were requested by Mrs. Mair to conduct her home. The forepart of the day was fair, but in the afternoon it rained heavily and the state of the road was indescribable. We endeavored at first to pick our footsteps, but it was useless, and we had to flounder on through mud and pool, as best we could, till we came to Irvinebank. But how get over the brook in front of the house? There was yet no bridge: a large cedar, fallen across the stream was the only pathway for foot passengers; it was now quite dark, and the brook swollen by the rains. We dared not venture upon the tree in the darkness, so half leading half carrying Miss Mair we got through the stream with no other damage than drenched limbs. But oh ! miserable reception for a young lady just come from Britain - tired out and drenched from head to foot. There was not a fire in the house, and the shanty fire was drowned out by the rains. Fortunately there remained a little warm water, and Mrs. Elmslie, washing and drying her as well as she could, hurried her to bed. Such was Miss Mair's first introduction to Bon-accord.
