"It's jist the riggin' o' some cottar's bit hoosie," answered Thomas. "What's come o' them that was aneath it, the Lord only kens. The water's jist liftit the roof bodily. There it gangs throu' aneath the brig.
I soon thereby discovered, that although it was the custom to deduce reasons from out the interests of the community, for the divers means and measures that they wanted to bring to a bearing for their own particular behoof, yet this was not often very cleverly done, and the cloven foot of self-interest was now and then to be seen aneath the robe of public principle.
That's what I shall tell my dear daddy; an' why? an' why? 'cos that's what my mammy comes an' tells me every night, wakin' an' sleepin' that's what she comes an' tells me, reia, in the waggin an' in the tent, an' aneath the sun an' aneath the stars an' that's what the fiery eyes of the Romany Sap says out o' the ferns an' the grass, an' in the Londra streets, whenever I thinks o' you.
Ye see what put him on the wrang scent was a notion 'at I had put it some gait. He kent 'at if she'd hod it, the kitchen maun be the place, but he thocht she'd gi'en it to me to hod. He came upon't by accident. It was aneath the paddin' o' her chair." Here, I thought, was the end of the glove incident, but I was mistaken.
Speak to her, Edie try if you can make her recollect having sent you to Glenallan House." Edie rose accordingly, and, crossing the floor, placed himself in the same position which he had occupied during his former conversation with her.

She wanted to fling it on the back o' the fire, but I wouldna let her. That's it she has aneath her apron." Later in the day I remarked to Leeby that Jamie was very dull. "He's missed it," she explained. "Has any one mentioned it to him," I asked, "or has he inquired about it?" My mother's fleid to mention't, an' he doesna like to speak aboot it either." "Perhaps he thinks he has lost it?"
I declare, Mark, if he does not succeed we'll do it. We'll hire an organ, whereon you shall play. Ah! you shake your head. A musical education is not required, and I know I shall do something desperate soon, if that dear little boy is not found. 'The night came on and the bairnies grat, Their minnie aneath the mools heard that. 'LYNDHURST, 4th July. Philip Dutton to Miss Egremont. Found.
And at the last no solemn stole Shall on thy breast be laid; No mumbling priest shall speed thy soul, No charnel vault thee shade. But by the shadowed hazel copse, Aneath the greenwood tree, Where airs are soft and waters sing, Thou'lt ever sleep by me, My love, Thou'lt ever sleep by me.
But I maun away, and trim my little cottage fire, and make it burn and blaze up bonnie, to warm the crickets, and my cold and crazy bones, that maun soon be laid aneath the green sod in the eerie kirkyard."
