It iss ahl right, Miss Marjorie, it iss ahl right, he said soothingly, in response to her glance; 'we hev made the Kelpie an hour and a quarter late, whateffer. That iss ferry good, although Rob says he will pe thinking it iss a pity that the sea will not pe going to pe at ahl rough.
"What was my prediction, Miss Dolly, when you stepped your first dance at Carvel Hall?" "Indeed, you do me wrong, Mr. Carvel!" "And I were a buck, you would not break mine, I warrant, unless it were tit for tat," said my grandfather; thereby putting me to more confusion than Dolly, who laughed with the rest. "'Tis well to boast, Mr. Carvel, when we are out of the battle," cried Mr. Lloyd.
"To be sure, to be sure," Dougal replied, with accents of profound submission; "her pleasure suld be done tat's but reason; but an it were tat is, an it could be thought the same to her to coup the ill-faured loon of ta red-coat Captain, and hims corporal Cramp, and twa three o' the red-coats, into the loch, herself wad do't wi' muckle mair great satisfaction than to hurt ta honest civil shentlemans as were friends to the Gregarach, and came up on the Chiefs assurance, and not to do no treason, as herself could testify."

Then Svetaketu dips here and there, and everywhere there is a salt flavor. They agree that THAT is the essence of salt; and the father says again, "TAt twam asi." I am of course neither defending nor criticizing the scientific attitude here adopted.
