'Awa' to Finnick, says I. 'D'ye think we take our orders from dirty ne'er-do-weels like you? 'By God, says they, 'we'll cut your lights out, and then the battle started." "What happened?

But I abstain me from unneeded wine, * When honey-dews of lips sweet musk can lend: Now from the sweets of union we unknow * Time near and far, if slow or fast it wend, The seventh night hath come and gone, O strange! * How went the nights we never reckt or kenned; Till, on the seventh wishing joy they said, * 'Allah prolong the meet of friend with friend!"

Ye maun no keep interruptin'. Jean has no order in her brain. She aye pits the last first an' the first last.

"Syne, whaur is he? Oot wi' it!" "I dinna ken!"

'Aren't you rather hard on him? he said, coolly, leaning back in his chair; 'he is simply drunk, and will be all right soon. 'I tell ye I'll no have him back, said Archie, firmly; 'he's ain o' they foreign bodies full of revolutions an' confusion o' tongues, and I'd no feel safe i' the mine if I kenned that deil was doon below wi' his dirk.
