Guid kens when we may ever spend a nicht thegither again. Come on, Tam, get up!" "Oh, weel," said Tam with bashful reluctance, "I'll do my best," and clearing his throat, Tam sang. "Hear, hear!" roared Black Jock. "That deserves a bumper too, Tammas. Fill up your glass.
He is perfectly well, by the way, but when the doctor comes round he assumes a convincing air of semi-convalescence, and refers darkly to his old wound. The doctor is not in the least taken in, but is indulgent, and not too curious. As soon as his back is turned, Jock is executing a reel in the middle of the ward. The I.L.H. man is very interesting.
And Bobby's sagacious by the ordinar'." He thought intently for a moment, and then spoke naturally, and much as Auld Jock himself might have spoken to the dog. "Whaur are ye, Bobby? Come awa' oot, laddie!" Instantly the little dog stood before him like some conjured ghost. He had slipped from under the slab on which they were sitting.
"I'll be bound, Jock, ye heard some wild talk, for I doubt our men are readier with an oath than a Psalm and a loose story than a sermon. But we must just take them as they come rough men for rough work, and desperate men for a wild adventure." "Gude knows, my ears are weel accustomed to the clatter of the camp, and it's no a coarse word here or there would offend Jock Grimond.
I could see that it perturbed the doctor, who answered in evident embarrassment, "If Mr. Merton would care for a glass of lemonade" A hoot of laughter interrupted him. It reminded me of Jock, except that Mr. O'Brien's laugh had such a flavour of ill-nature. The man might or might not be what I suspected, but he was indubitably objectionable. "No, thank you," I answered him.
"It's just like Paris in the cloud! More, more, Babie. You are Venus, you know." "Master Armine, Miss Barbara! For shame," exclaimed the nurse's voice. "All getting into the carpet, and in your clothes, I do declare! A whole case of best arrowroot wasted, and worse." "'Twas Jessie's doing," replied Jock. "She told me."
Byles pointed out, in what the newspapers call "neat and well-chosen terms," that it was not enough to learn mathematics as they all did so diligently Jock Howieson's eye turned instinctively to Bulldog's cane but they must also know some natural science in order to become, as he hoped they would, cultured men Speug was just able to cast a longing glance at Thomas John.
She often walked beside the river in these quiet morning hours, alone unless her dog Jock, an Airedale terrier of unimpeachable ancestry and cheerful disposition, was at hand to accompany her. Jock had been presented to her by Barry as a wedding gift; and Toni, who had never before been on an intimate footing with a dog, found his companionship both delightful and stimulating.
Some say that they met in a snowstorm on Ben Lomond, where she was tending her kine; others say that they met on the high road to Aberdeen and his collie Jeannie bit her collie Jock thus cementing a friendship that was later on to ripen into more and more and even Maggie.
"What'd you say if Jethro was Chairman of the next Board of Selectmen?" he demanded. No wonder Cynthia gasped. Jethro Bass, Chairman of the Board, in the honored seat of Deacon Moses Hatch, the perquisite of the church in Coniston! The idea was heresy. As a matter of fact, Jock himself uttered it as a playful exaggeration.
