"Haud your peace, ye knave, and hear what I have to say till ye We are gaun a bit into the Hielands" "Ye tauld me sae already," replied the incorrigible Andrew. "I'll break your head," said the Bailie, rising in wrath, "if ye dinna haud your tongue."
"Hoot, woman," rejoined the other, "ye've a butt and a ben; the house would haud ye a' brawly. And, though our lassie's owre young to be a wife to onybody, and I was only passin a joke about her and Sandy, if she were a year or twa aulder, and if a'thing were agreeable, I canna say but I would like weel to see them gang thegither.

It was a true but ill-timed argument. Alec flared up wildly. "Wife!" he cried, "there's no wife for me. Haud oot o' my gait. Dinna ye see I hae been drinkin'? And I winna be contred."
