There's evil things that will be doing if we canna stop them." "Did you find out anything while you were away with Haggis?" questioned Bob. "A bit. We found the tracks o' boots as well as moccasins, and we followed far enough to learn that they had gone to the Dacotah village. Then we came back to fetch you laddies. And I found four grand specimens for my collection!
And as soon as he's learnt them, he taks a buik and gangs up til his room, or oot aboot the hoose, or intil the cornyard or the barn, and never comes nigh me!

"Five laddies, a middle-aged man, and an auld wife," he cried. "Dod, it's pretty hopeless. It's like the thing in the Bible about the weak things of the world trying to confound the strong." "The Bible's whiles richt," Mrs. Morran answered drily. "Come on, for there's no time to lose." The door opened again to admit the figure of Wee Jaikie.
Benedict, an estimable lady tourist whom she "picked up" en route from Southampton. I am tired, and stayed at home. I cannot write letters, because aunt Celia has the guide-books, so I sit by the window in indolent content, watching the dear little school laddies, with their short jackets and wide white collars; they all look so jolly, and rosy, and clean, and kissable!

We've a fine old castle here, but for defence we want more than stone walls we want a garrison. I tell you we must get help somewhere. Ay, but how, says you?
We had our fire the fire the Kaiser lighted. It was arson caused our fire it was a firebug started it, no spontaneous combustion, as some wad ha' us think. And we called the firemen the braw laddies frae all the world, who set to work and never stopped till the fire was oot. Noo they've gaed hame aboot their other business.

"We've been freends sin' we were laddies at the auld schule in the firs, an' a' wud like ye tae be wi' me at the end. Ye 'ill stay the nicht, Paitrick, for auld lang syne." "It's maist awfu' tae hear ye speakin' aboot deein', Weelum; a' canna bear it.
A'thegither!" and so they tugged and tore, and strained and pulled, while the roars of the imprisoned man were deafening. "A'thegither again, laddies!" encouraged Andrew. "This time!" and with a tremendous effort the stone gave way, and Jamie was pulled clear, his leg a crushed mass of pulpy blood and shattered bones.
It's a good thing to have your manners soundly thrashed into you. You've got to be scared stiff before you forget them. I wasn't so afraid of her as I would have been if I had known she WAS the princess, and have Laddies letter, she should not.
