They drink and drink until, if I'm driving them away, they stagger as they fly and turn somersaults in the air.

I maun bide wi' the coch till the lave gang back to Drumheid wi' the horses, on' fess anither pole.
"Now, pile your rifles you will not want them any more and come with me. I have said good night to the general, but he will excuse me." Still bewildered, the boys did as they were ordered.
