Burns, in Johnson's Musical Museum, No. 319. One of the nineteen original members of The Club. See Mr. Irving's letter with names, Life, vol. i. pp. 207-8, and Scott's joyous visit in 1793 to Meigle, pp. 292-4. Dalgleish was Sir Walter's butler. He said he cared not how much his wages were reduced but go he would not. Whin-cow Anglicè, a bush of furze. March 1.
In your English sense," he added, with a laugh, referring to one of their many arguments, scholastic or otherwise, wherein she had insisted that to want meant Anglice, to wish or to crave, whereas in Scotland it was always used like the French manquer, to miss or to need. "Shall we begin that fight over again?" asked she, smiling; for every thing, even fighting, seemed pleasant today.
Inaccuracy, provincialism, and a too hasty rushing to conclusions, were the rocks that he had split on, but he got his revenge when he said: "How would I play with you? From all the poppycock Anglice bosh you talked about poker, I'd ha' played a straight game, and skinned you. I wouldn't have taken the trouble to make you drunk.
If we follow the text as it stands, the game that Thorbiorn played is supposed to have borne some resemblance to what is now called in Iceland 'refskák, fox-play, anglice 'fox and geese, the aim of which is, by twelve pieces, called lambs, to bring the fox into such a position as to leave him no place to move, whichso way he turns.
The lady died suddenly, leaving a girl of sixteen or seventeen entirely friendless and unprovided for. The young men had been kind to the woman during her illness, and at her death, melting with pity at the forlorn situation of Anglice, the daughter, swore between themselves to love and watch over her as if she were their sister.

Scott's amiable friend died 24th Oct. 1828. John Adam, Esq., died on shipboard on his passage homewards from Calcutta, 4th June 1825. The Right Hon. W. Adam of Blairadam, born in 1751.
"I had no idea the tree would flourish in this climate." "Mon Dieu!" was all the priest could say. If Père Antoine loved the tree before, he worshipped it now. He watered it, and nurtured it, and could have clasped it in his arms. Here were Émile and Anglice and the child, all in one! The years flew by, and the date-palm and the priest grew together, only one became vigorous and the other feeble.
A precious boon is she to the wretched city; and when loyal men again walk those streets, may the hand wither that touches her ungently! "Because it grew from the heart of little Anglice," said Miss Badeau, tenderly. I have never had many personal interviews with Princes.
"Oh, Pobs, dear," she said half-laughing, half-crying. "You're such a darling you always understand everything. I feel heaps better now, thank you." Anglice: foreigner. Diana threw hack the bedclothes and thrust an extremely pretty but reluctant foot over the edge of the bed.
