This news troubled my grandfather not a little, and the more he inquired concerning the tidings the more reason he got to be alarmed and to suspect that the bearer was Winterton, who being still in the town, and then at the abbey his horse was in Theophilus Lugton's stable he could not but think that in coming to Kilwinning instead of going right on to Kilmarnock he had run into the lion's mouth.
While he was eating of Dame Lugton's fare with the relishing sauce of a keen appetite, in a manner that no one who saw him could have supposed he was almost sick with a surfeit of anxieties, one James Coom, a smith, came in for a mutchkin-cap of ale, and he, seeing a traveller, said, "Thir's sair news! The drouth of cauld iron will be slockened in men's blood ere we hear the end o't."
