"A'll take two or three as curiosities A'd like to show the officers the kind o' poison the lower classes smoke " "Here! Leave me a couple!" said the alarmed non-commissioned officer as Tam's skilful fingers half emptied the box. "Be silent!" said Tam, "ye're interruptin' ma train o' thochts what did A' say last?" "You said nothing yet," replied the corporal, rescuing his depleted store.
'Come, missus! come, missus! said he, 'there couldn't be more ado if a'd been guilty of murder, an' yet a say again, as a said afore, a'm noane ashamed o' my doings. Here, Sylvie, lass, tak' thy mother off me, for a cannot do it mysel', it like sets me off. His voice was quavering as he said this. Good-by, my lass; look well after mother, and ask Philip for guidance if it's needed.
"A'd have to stir th' pot with a witch ere a brewed a wedding with me," quoth she. "What sayest to Reuben Puff, the tinker?" "If I say so much as a word to any one o' em," cried she, snatching up the pail wherein she had brought my victuals, "may thy first grandchild be born without a tongue!" saith she. And out she went.
"Rot, Tam!" said that youthful officer. "Why, your nose is blue!" "Aweel," admitted Tam. "But that's no' cold, that's will ye look at ma altitude record?" The young man climbed into the fuselage, looked and gasped. "Dear lad!" he said, "have you been to heaven?" "Verra near, sir-r," said Tam gravely; "another ten gallons o' essence an' A'd 'a' made it.
There's Charley to t' fore now, which if a'd married him, he'd not ha' been; and he's said more nor once what a pretty lass yo'd grow into by-and-by. Molly's prosperity was giving her an independence and fearlessness of talk such as had seldom appeared hitherto; and certainly never before Mrs. Robson.
Now go, like a good old Kester as yo' are. Kester looked at her with loving, faithful admiration. He had set himself his day's work in his master's absence, and was very desirous of finishing it, but, somehow, he never dreamed of resisting Sylvia, so he only stated the case. 'T' 'ool's a vast o' muck in 't, an' a thowt as a'd fettle it, an' do it up; but a reckon a mun do yo'r biddin'.
A've naither wife nor bairns o' ma own, an' a' coont a' the fouk o' the Glen ma family. Div ye think a' wudna save Annie if I cud? If there wes a man in Muirtown 'at cud dae mair for her, a'd have him this verra nicht, but a' the doctors in Perthshire are helpless for this tribble.
'Twas all true, there was the white faced fat man; an' there was the little clean chopped chap jumpin' all over the backs o' th' seats; an' there was a lot o' snivellin' Saints in Israel, women that cry an' sissie men that get converted an' converted at every meetin'! Man, Wayland, A'd like to dump th' job lot o' such folks out in a cesspool! They do religion more harm than the Devil!
Thank yo' kindly, missus, but a'll tak' nought to eat; just a drop o' somethin' hot to keep out coud, and wish yo' a' the compliments o' the season. Philip, my man, yo'll not be sorry to be spared t' walk round by Haytersbank such a neet. My missus were i' such a way about Sylvie that a thought a'd just step off mysel', and have a peep at yo' a', and bring her some wraps.
One got up an' he wanted th' dear sisters to raise a little money to build a fence; a fence, y' understand? An' another got up an' wanted th' dear sisters t' have a sewin' bee, gossip buzz, A call 'em, to raise a little money for the Lord t' build a school. Losh! A stood it long as A could! Then A jumped up! 'Twas a hot night, an' A'd ripped off m' coat!
