I've been today to look at my land above the old lady's house, and she asked me to send word to Lucy to come up and see her." "To-day?" "Yes, Ma'am; not two hours ago."

Hugh was too careless.
Buchan Hepburn says the Sheriff of East Lothian informed him that he remembered when not a bullock was slaughtered in Haddington market for a whole year, except at that time; and, when Sir David Kinloch, of Gilmerton sold ten wedders to an Edinburgh butcher, he stipulated for three several terms to take them away, to prevent the Edinburgh market from being overstocked with fresh butcher's meat!*
