"Gang awa, ane o' ye, hinnies, up to the heugh head, and gie them a cry in case they're within hearing; the car-cakes will be burnt to a cinder." The little emissary departed, but in a few minutes came running back with the loud exclamation, "Eh, Minnie! eh, grannie! there's a white bogle chasing twa black anes down the heugh."
"O, I'm sorry I spoke," said Troffater, and spit through his teeth. "I don't know nothin' about it. I don't want to go afore Fabens, and be obleeged to look 'im in the face. I wish I'd never seen Sculpin, nor his little thievin' capers." "Don't bother me, now," said Bogle. "If ye know anything and I bleeve ye dew out with it, and be my witness.
This brings me to a story I heard, and a scene I took part in, which quite changed our terms of living, and had a great effect on my departure. A hand was laid upon my arm, and the voice of Neil bade me to stop, for it was not "canny musics." "Not canny?" I asked. "How can that be?" "Na," said he; "it will be made by a bogle and her wanting ta heid upon his body."
It was the opinion of the village matrons who relieved Sampson on the latter occasion, "that the Laird might as weel trust the care o' his bairn to a potato bogle"; but the good Dominie bore all his disasters with gravity and serenity equally imperturbable. "Pro-di-gi-ous!" was the only ejaculation they ever extorted from the much-enduring man.
You know you promised to get it for us if you could," shouted Tom. "And am I to sleep in Number 4?" roared East. "How's old Sam, and Bogle, and Sally?" "Bless the boys!" cries Mary, at last getting in a word; "why, you'll shake me to death. There, now, do go away up to the housekeeper's room and get your suppers; you know I haven't time to talk. You'll find plenty more in the house.
We being withdrawn, we heard no more of it, but there staid late and do hear no more, only my cozen Pepys do tell me that he did hear one or two whisper as if they thought that I do bogle at the business of my Lord Bruncker, which is a thing I neither did or have reason to do in his favour, but I do not think it fit to make him suffer for a thing that deserves well.

"But we want you sh'u'd help us." "G'-by," said Scattergood again, as he moved off ponderously into the darkness. The elder moved nearer Bogle and endeavored to peer into his face. "Be you sure she's the same one?" he asked, in a confidential whisper. "Wa-al they was about the same heft," said Bogle, "and if this hain't her, it ought to be.
She christened him “the Bogle” at once. “I boneys that little pink doll with the curly hair, first,” said the girl. She was a round, brown little creature, too—but pretty. She had merry brown eyes and a merry little red and white smile. Maida christened her “the Robin.” “I boneys that big agate, second,” said the Bogle. “I boneys that little table, second,” said the Robin.
It'll mak ye look decent and respectable what ye wasna in that creeshy cloot ye're wearin, that made ye look mair like a tauty bogle than a Christian man." Thomas merely smiled at these remarks, and made no reply in words. Thus far, then, Mrs. Callender's plot had gone on swimmingly.
