Weel, ye'll ken him, an' aiblins, here the speaker took up the bellows and thoughtfully assisted the fire's respiration, 'aiblins it wud be a ceevil matter to offer to gie him a night's lodgin', for it's a gey lang way up frae the auld toon, an' the manager's gettin' gey white aboot the pow.
"Weel, fetch me the gless, ma mon; fetch me the gless an' aiblins we may catch a glint o' them through this smoorin' snaw; though I doot it's the packet, as ye say." And the Factor stood shading his eyes and gazing anxiously in the direction of the invisible islands.
"I'll no say but she may aiblins hae been his honour's Squire Thorncliff's in her day but she's mine now." "You have stolen her, you rascal." "Na, na, sir nae man can wyte me wi' theft. The thing stands this gate, ye see.
"An' wha' dae they ca' yirsel'?" I asked. "Tam Airmstrang-anither Tam, ye ken. An' whaur ye frae? Wha' pairt o' the kintra was ye born in syne?" A boggy-looking place for a man to carry his integrity safely across; however, I replied, "Ye'se aiblins be acquent wi' yon auld sang: Braw, braw lads on Yarrow braff, That wander through the bloomin' heather. Aweel, A was born on the braes o' Yarra.
Macpherson was produced, a bearded and grizzled personage, hailing from Dundee. Being a Scotchman he would not commit himself. "I hav'na hear-rd o' the P. and O. ships stoppin' at Messina," he announced, "but aiblins they wad if they got their price." And "Mac" would not commit himself any further. Another hour passed, and the Ganges was now almost alongside.
"Naethin' ava, laddie, naethin' worth the mention. Only aiblins the Killer'll be caught afore sae lang." David smiled incredulously, wagging his head in offensive scepticism. "Yo'll catch him yo'self, I s'pose, you and yer Wullie? Tak' a chair on to the Marches, whistle a while, and when the Killer comes, why! pit a pinch o' salt upon his tail if he had one."
'Is as reputable a citizen as any that treads on the High Street, and yet for a' that he may hae a canker o' the soul. Aiblins Davie Hume has sappit his belief, and the muckle Deil, kennin' that, is thrawin' a flee ower him as for a saumon the noo.
Though the rain had ceased, and the sun shone, those who possessed umbrellas were not to be coaxed, but held them aloft with a settled air of gloom which defied the lenitives of nature and the spasmodic cajolery of the worst band in Edinburgh. "It'll be near full, Jock?" "It wull." "He'll be startin' in a meenit?" "Aiblins he wull." "Wull this be the sixt time ye've seen him?" "I shudna wonder."
Aiblins we'll beat him yet." In this strain he continued until David, his patience exhausted, asked roughly: "What is't yo' mumblin' aboot? Wha is it yo'll beat, you and yer Wullie?" The lad's tone was as contemptuous as his words. Long ago he had cast aside any semblance of respect for his father. M'Adam only rubbed his knees and giggled. "Hark to the dear lad, Wullie!
'Ou, no mony, said Dandie, scratching his head; 'it's lying high and exposed: it may feed a hog, or aiblins twa in a good year.
