"There," said Miss Grant to me, "run out by with ye, like a good bairn, I didna come here to stand and baud a candle; it's her and me that are to crack."

False to your Bosom! You silly impudent Sot you who dares accuse me? Sir Tim. E'en your trusty and well-beloved Friend, Mrs. Driver the Baud. Flaunt. She! She's an impudent confounded Lyar and because she wou'd have your worshipful Custom scandaliz'd me, to breed a difference between us. Sir Tim.
Of course the hermit and the two girls heard the shouts of the marauders, and knew that it was now too late to escape along with the baud under Finn, for the only practicable path by which they could join them passed in full view of Haldorstede, and it was so hemmed in by a precipice that there was no other way of getting into the wood at least without the certainty of being seen.

The auld thief was fairly catched in the very height o' his proud conquest, an' put down by an auld carl.

This evening, U and I took a farewell walk in the Pincian Gardens to see the sunset; and found them crowded with people, promenading and listening to the music of the French baud. It was the feast of Whitsunday, which probably brought a greater throng than usual abroad.
And I canna but think, gien ye'll excuse me, sir, that, for his father's sake, it wud be a gracious ac' to tak him intil the queen's service, and lat him baud on fechtin for 's country, whaurever it may please her mejesty to want him. Oot whaur he was afore micht be best for him I dinna ken. It wad be to put his country's seal upo' their word.

He passed by all the fine churches and hunted up a little baud of people who have a mission on a side street there, and worships with them because he says they are more spiritual." "We have such a band of people here." "Have you? I will tell Austin when he comes, for he will not stay away from the children long.
I do not say that these revolutions are likely; only no man can deny that they are possible; and the past, on the other baud, is, lost for ever: our old days and deeds, our old selves, too, and the very world in which these scenes were acted, all brought down to the same faint residuum as a last night's dream, to some incontinuous images, and an echo in the chambers of the brain.
