I'm thinking of the wee songs themselves, and the singing of them. Hoo do you think I get the songs I sing? Do you think they're just written richt off? Weel, it's not so.

Ance is a' wi' me.-�It's nae mony lasses wad hae tell't ye sic a thing. But I ken it's richt. Ye're the only ane that has my secret. Keep it, Curly." "Like Deith himsel'," said Curly.

Mony a pibroch 'll come skirlin' oot o' that chanter yet er' a' be dune." They were interrupted by the unceremonious entrance of the same footman who had brought the invitation.
