You 'll let me come to see you, and you 'll tell me all his exploits when he was John Carnegie?" "To think he minded me, an' him sae lang awa' at the weary wars." Bell was between the laughing and the crying. "We 're lifted to know oor laird 's a General, and that he's gotten sic honour. There's nae bluid like the auld bluid, an' the Carnegies cud aye afford to be hamely.
"Ah! brave Highlanders and bright claymores," said the Duke, "well do I wish them, 'for a' the ill they've done me yet, as the song goes. But come, madcaps, say a civil word to your countrywoman I wish ye had half her canny hamely sense; I think you may be as leal and true-hearted."
I mind when I was a young chap I had a grand pair o' breeks Wull I ca'ed them unco decent breeks they were, I mind, lang and swankie like a ploughman; and I aye thocht I was a tremendous honest and hamely fallow when I had them on!
We respectfully submit, therefore, that all, and indeed more than all, under the circumstances, that could have been reasonably expected has been accomplished.

Jamie Coom, the blacksmith, who I aye jealoused was my rival, came up and asked Jess, with a loud guffaw, "Where is the tailor?"

Whiles, after I first began to sing often in London and the English provinces, I had a villa at Tooting a modest place, hamely and comfortable. But the air there was no the Scottish air; the heather wasna there for ma een to see when they opened in the morn; the smell o' the peat was no in ma nostrils.
Although I had my share of the civil war, I cannot say I had ever so much real pleasure in that sort of service as when I was employed on the Continent, and we were hacking at fellows with foreign faces and outlandish dialect. It's a hard thing to hear a hamely Scotch tongue cry quarter, and be obliged to cut him down just the same as if he called out misricorde.
He should have a long shafted spoon that sups kail with the Devil. Happy man, happy cavil. He sits above that deals aikers. Hame is hamely, though never so seemly. He hes wit at will, that with angry heart can hold him still. He that is hated of his subjects, cannot be counted a King. Hap and an halfpennie is worlds geir enough. He is fairest dung when his own wand dings him.
