I thought of my poor mother and how she'd suffered through not making my father think of her first and last and you were sitting there thinking of nothing but Marion and I knew if you heard what Roger was saying about us you'd think of me, so I made you listen. If I hadn't given you yon dunts on your shoulders you never would have heard him and never would have killed him.

Meg's clours are to be borne wi' a' complaisancy, but Birsie's dunts are, so to speak, gratuitous!" "Here's the Cuif!" said Meg Kissock, who with her company gown on, and her face glowing from a brisk wash, sat knitting a stocking in the rich gloaming light at the gable end of the house of Craig Ronald.

"If she abides by words, Sir Mungo," answered Richie, "I thank heaven I can be as deaf as any one; and if she comes to dunts, I have twa hands to paik her with." "Weel said, Richie, again," said the king; "you have gotten it on baith haffits, Sir Mungo. Troth, Mistress Bride, for a fule, your gudeman has a pretty turn of wit."

That explainin' I canna bide: it's jist a love o' leasin', an' taks the bluid oot o' a'thing, lea'in' life as wersh an' fusionless as kail wantin' saut. Them 'at h'ard it tellt me 'at there was NO accoontin', as I tell you, for the reemish they baith h'ard whiles douf-like dunts, an' whiles speech o' mou', beggin' an' groanin' as gien the enemy war bodily present to the puir sinner."

Wishers and woulders are poor householders. Weil worth aw, that gars the plough draw. Words are but winde, but dunts are the Devill. With empty hand no man should hawks allure. Wark bears witnesse who weil does. Wrang hearing makes wrang rehearsing. Wealth gars wit waver. Weil bides, weil betides. Wrong count is no payment. Ye should be a King of your word. Your winning is no my tinsel.
