"He'll be drinking in some public-house, I'se warrant, and the doag will have lost him." "Imph, that'll be the way o't." "I'm demned if he hasn't taken the Skeighan Road!" said Sandy Toddle, who had kept his eye on the minister. Toddle's accent was a varying quality.

It was not every working-man's son that came back with five hundred in the bank. And here Gourlay had treated him like a doag! Ah, well, he would maybe be upsides with Gourlay yet, so he might! "Such a rickle of furniture I never saw!" said the Provost.
"Ay," he said dryly in his throat; "verra good, baker, verra good! Who's yellow doag's that? I never saw the beast about the town before!" "Nor me either. It's a perfect stranger!" "It's like a herd's doag!" "Man, you're right! That's just what it will be. The morn's Fleckie lamb fair, and some herd or other'll be in about the town."

"I ken fine how he married her," said Johnny Coe.
