It's a mercy to get a responsible man in the place. I aye had a notion ye wad come back, for, thinks I, nevoy Dickson is no the yin to desert folk in trouble.... Whaur's my wee kist?.... Lost, ye say. That's a peety, for it's been my cheesebox thae thirty year." Dickson ascended to the loft, having announced his need of at least three hours' sleep.

"And if you please, my leddy," said Duncan, who began to find some savour in this proposal, "as I hae a braw weel-grown lad of a nevoy, ca'd Duncan MacGilligan, that is as pig as paith the Putler pairns putten thegither, Sir George could ask a pair for him at the same time, and it wad pe put ae asking for a'."

Barnsman Nevoy Harry open the door, open the door!" exclaimed old Milnwood, snatching up and slipping into his pocket the two or three silver spoons with which the upper end of the table was garnished, those beneath the salt being of goodly horn. "Speak them fair, sirs Lord love ye, speak them fair they winna bide thrawing we're a' harried we're a' harried!"

'This is a daft cause, Bladderskate first, it drives the poor man mad that aught it then your nevoy goes daft with fright, and flies the pit then this smart young hopeful is aff the hooks with too hard study, I fancy and now auld Saunders Fairford is as lunatic as the best of them.

"The deil take them that made them!" was his first ejaculation, apostrophizing his mess of porridge. "They're gude parritch eneugh," said Mrs Wilson, "if ye wad but take time to sup them.

'Shall I say sae, sir? said James, who, as an old soldier, was literal in all things touching the service.

"Never mind these lads laughing, nevoy," he continued; "they would have been all as great milksops as yourself, had I not nursed them, as one may say, on the toast and tankard."

But although I readily gave my uncle the advantage of my pen and my arithmetic so often as he desired to correspond with a neighbour, or settle with a tenant, and was, in so far, a more useful inmate in his family than any of his sons, yet I was not willing to oblige Sir Hildebrand by relieving him entirely from the management of his own affairs; so that, while the good knight admitted that nevoy Frank was a steady, handy lad, he seldom failed to remark in the same breath, that he did not think he should ha' missed Rashleigh so much as he was like to do.

"I have a letter from the Warden of Saint Elizabeth's to one of the clerks of Saint Paul's," added Ambrose. "Alworthy is his name." "That's well. We'll prove that same," said his uncle.
