And that foul innkeeper and that brigand at the gate. Black magic! And now here is the home of all enchantment 'island valley of Avilion' 'waters that listen for lovers' all the rest of it!" Dickson observed and marvelled. "I can't make you out, Mr. Heritage. You were saying last night you were a great democrat, and yet you were objecting to yon laddies camping on the moor.
When the end came, Bulldog would seize the word out of Pirie's mouth and shout, "Q. E. D., Q ... E ... D. Splendid. Did ye follow that, laddies?" taking snuff profusely, with the cloth under one arm and the pointer under the other. "William Pirie, ye'll be a wrangler if ye hae grace o' continuance. Splendid!"
"'A' prayed last nicht that the Lord wud leave Saunders till the laddies cud dae for themselves, an' thae words came intae ma mind, 'Weepin' may endure for a nicht, but joy cometh in the mornin'." "'The Lord heard ma prayer, and joy hes come in the mornin', an' she gripped the doctor's hand. "'Ye've been the instrument, Doctor MacLure.
Pierre and Pat wanted to set off in pursuit of the enemy, but Sandy would not allow them. "Na! na! laddies; we'll gain nothing even if we were to shoot a score of redskins.

It seems that he ought to rest a bit, and tak' things easy, and that it's a sma' thing, after all he's done, to promise him good and loving care all his days. Aye, and that's a sma' thing enough if we're sure we can keep our promise.

What I ask you, sir, to do" and Bulldog regarded the Count with increasing disfavour, as he thought of such a popinjay giving evidence against his laddies "is, to look round this class-room and point out, so far as ye may be able, any boy or boys who drove a snowball or snowballs through the windows of your residence."
But I was pretty sure the end of the world had come for me, and that these laddies were taking things as calmly as they were simply because they were used to it, and it was all in the day's work for them.
