"Haud yer tongue, mem, gien ye please. I canna bide to hear my father spoken o' like that. For ye see I lo'ed him afore I kent he was ony drap 's blude to me." "Weel, that's verra weel; but father an' mither's man and wife, an' ye camna o' a father alane."
"Come awa', man," it was Ronald McGregor's trembling voice from among the elders "come awa'; it's the wounded hand that beckons ye we're a' here o' the Saviour's grace alane." Michael Blake moved slightly, but his head was lower bowed. "Gang forrit, Michael, gang forrit to the table He's been gey guid to us baith an' oor Angus wants ye," whispered the woman beside him.

A poor man isna competent. The rich hae straits the poor canna fathom." And then he saw in light as clear as crystal a slip of paper hid away in a secret drawer.
He was lying in a waiting-room covered up with a sheet, and, oh me, he was sair, sair mangled that puir fellow there is naething to him; but the winsome, manly face, with the sweet, familiar smile on it, was nane spoiled; and lang, lang, I sat there, us twa alane, with my hand on his cauld forehead, playing wi' his bonnie waving hair.

"But hoo's a body to ken whether she be ane o' the elec'?" she said, quaking. "That's a hard maitter. It's no needfu' to ken't aforehan'. Jist lat that alane i' the mean time." "But I canna lat it alane. It's no for mysel' aither a'thegither. Could ye lat it alane, Thomas?" This home-thrust prevented any questioning about the second clause of her answer.
