I ken the sough o' her texts, that sound just like the wind blawing through the spence; and there's Kettledrummle setting to wark, too Lordsake, if the sodgers anes get angry, they'll murder them baith, and us for company!"

"Ay, she's aye tonguing, especially about her teeth. They're folk wi' siller, and she has a set o' false teeth. It's fair scumfishing to hear her blawing about thae teeth, she's so fleid we dinna ken that they're false." Nanny had spoken jealously, but suddenly she trembled with apprehension. "Babbie," she cried, "you didna speak about the poorhouse to Enoch?"
"What signifies preaching to us, e'enow?" said Simon; "if ye canna make help yoursell, dinna keep back them that can." "Whisht, sir; wad ye take vengeance or ye ken wha has wrang'd ye?"

All evil comes out o' thereaway it's an auld saying and a true; and we'll e'en away there, as if the devil was blawing us south."
"Ay," said Spens, "and to tak' credit for that may be like blawing that you're ower honest to wear claethes." Hendry, who had gone to the door, returned now with the information that Mr. Dishart had left the manse two hours ago to pay visits, meaning to come to the prayer-meeting before he returned home.

Na, I canna tell what has happened, but at the least Lauchlan maun hae dirked the earl. Thae loons cried out to me as they gaed by that he has been blawing awa' at that tune till he canna halt. What a wind's in the crittur! I'm thinking there's a hell in ilka Highlandman."
At the bottom, however, there is a pleasant public; whereat we must really take a modest quencher, for the down air is provocative of thirst. So we pull up under an old oak which stands before the door. "What is the name of your hill, landlord?" "Blawing STWUN Hill, sir, to be sure." "And of your house? I can't make out the sign."
Ye see I was trumpeter at the castle, and had allowance for blawing at break of day, and at dinner time, and other whiles when there was company about, and it pleased my lord; and when he raised his militia to caper awa' to Bothwell Brig against the wrang-headed westland Whigs, I behoved, reason or name, to munt a horse and caper awa' wi' them."
