Good-night, Colonel good-night, Dominie Sampson good-night, Dinmont the downright good-night, last of all, to the new-found representative of the Bertrams, and the Mac-Dingawaies, the Knarths, the Arths, the Godfreys, the Dennises, and the Rolands, and, last and dearest title, heir of tailzie and provision of the lands and barony of Ellangowan, under the settlement of Lewis Bertram, Esq., whose representative you are."
'Ou, we have nae connexion at a' wi' the Bertrams, said Dandie; 'they were grand folk by the like o' us; but Jean Liltup, that was auld Singleside's housekeeper, and the mother of these twa young ladies that are gane the last o' them's dead at a ripe age, I trow Jean Liltup came out o' Liddel water, and she was as near our connexion as second cousin to my mother's half-sister.
The Bertrams are undoubtedly some of the first people in this country. She is niece to Sir Thomas Bertram; that will be enough for the world. But go on, go on. Tell me more. What are your plans? Does she know her own happiness?" "No." "What are you waiting for?" "For for very little more than opportunity. Mary, she is not like her cousins; but I think I shall not ask in vain." "Oh no! you cannot.

It had been their school-room; so called till the Miss Bertrams would not allow it to be called so any longer, and inhabited as such to a later period. There Miss Lee had lived, and there they had read and written, and talked and laughed, till within the last three years, when she had quitted them.
"Oh, he was a thorough old rip, the duke, if it comes to that," General Claviger responded, twirling his white moustache. "And so's the present man a rip of the first water. They're a regular bad lot, the Bertrams, root and stock. They never set an example of anything to anybody bar horse-breeding, as far as I'm aware; and even at that their trainers have always fairly cheated 'em."
Haddo, usually so bright, so cheery, so full of enthusiasm, invited her young pupils to meet her. But there was no smile of welcome on that lady's fine face on the present occasion. She did not even shake hands with the girls as they approached. All she did was to ask them to sit down. Fanny took her place between Olive and one of the Bertrams.
Here he was again on the same ground where all had passed before, and apparently as willing to stay and be happy without the Miss Bertrams, as if he had never known Mansfield in any other state. She heard them spoken of by him only in a general way, till they were all re-assembled in the drawing-room, when Edmund, being engaged apart in some matter of business with Dr.

"Ay, what about her?" said the counsellor, rather surprised. "Ou, we have nae connection at a' wi' the Bertrams," said Dandie, "they were grand folk by the like o' us.
Good-night, Colonel; good-night, Dominie Sampson; good-night, Dinmont the Downright; good-night, last of all, to the new-found representative of the Bertrams, and the Mac-Dingawaies, the Knarths, the Arths, the Godfreys, the Dennises, and the Rolands, and, last and dearest title, heir of tailzie and provision of the lands and barony of Ellangowan, under the settlement of Lewis Bertram, Esq., whose representative you are.
