Mr. Soulis was feared for neither man nor deevil.
Now gang, gang yer ways, and when aince up, keep close as mice." Schillie. "I begin to think you have some nous in your head, June, thinking of that rock. It's so near the ship we may, perhaps, get off in the night." Mother. "Heaven grant it. How that woman screams." Schillie. "I should like to give her something to scream about, but you are loading yourself like a pack horse.
"Bawbie here winna believe me," continued Sandy, gien Mester Blair a wink, "but I've tell'd her twa-three times that when I've gane doon the yaird i' the winter-time wi' my auld greatcoat it's gettin' very green noo, but it was a bit guid stuff aince in its day the birds 'ill come fleein' doon an' sit on the palin' aside me, an' wheetle-wheetle awa' for a whilie.
"Ay, richt ye are," he said, in a voice that had become a child's; "I hae muckle, muckle, to be thankfu' for, an' no the least is 'at baith me an' Jess has aye belonged to a bural society.
