Why, 'tis an adventure, man, to sleep in the Green Room at Monkbarns. Sister, pray see it got ready And, although the bold adventurer, Heavysterne, dree'd pain and dolour in that charmed apartment, it is no reason why a gallant knight like you, nearly twice as tall, and not half so heavy, should not encounter and break the spell." "What! a haunted apartment, I suppose?"

Did I not say the auld fire would burn down to a spark, but wad kindle again?
Self-seekers all of them, strivers after wealth, power, and worldly ambition, and forgetters alike of what has been dree'd and done by the mighty men who stood in the gap in the great day of wrath. It would seem that this was spoken during the apprehensions of invason from France.

Some said the lady wasna innocent; and doubtless Mr. Napier thought sae, for he took high dealings wi' her, and looked at her wi' a scorn that would have scathed whinstanes. Sae it was better she was ta'en awa ay, and her baby wi' her; for if it had lived, it would have dree'd the revenge o' that stern man." "The child!" said Mr. White, "did it die too?"
