What he understood and appreciated was Argyle Street on a Saturday night. That was life! That was light! That was civilisation! As for creeping about in this uncanny wood, filled with noxious animals and adhesive vegetation well, Dunshie was heartily sorry that he had ever volunteered for service as a scout.
Argyle had lost all authority; nor, indeed, had he retained any, does it appear that he could now have used it to any salutary purpose.

Another went to my old favourite air, "The House of Airlie," and began thus: "It fell on a day when Argyle was on the bench, That they served him a Stewart for his denner."
