Chapter LXXVI: The Stars in the Sky

_Source._--Mrs. Balfour's old nurse, now in New Zealand. The original is in broad Scots, which I have anglicised.

_Parallels._--The tradition is widespread that at the foot of the rainbow treasure is to be found; _cf._ Mr. John Payne's "Sir Edward's Questing" in his _Songs of Life and Death_.

_Remarks._--The "sell" at the end is scarcely after the manner of the folk, and various touches throughout indicate a transmission through minds tainted with culture and introspection.
