It was an ill chance that brought us thegither again, and an ill day for me an' mine that lang syne brought you into our quiet glen."
Ye hae another day to live, an' see her, an' speak to her, before ye decide rashly. Yours is a cruel doom, but Sir Gideon is a wrathfu' man; an' even for his ain flesh an' bluid he has but sma' compassion when his anger is provoked.
I hae tried to lead ye in the right path; ye hae had baith precept and example afore ye; but the leaven o' this warld the leaven o' the persecutors o' the Kirk and the Covenant was in yer very bluid; an' I believe, if opportunity had offered, ye wad hae drawn yer sword in the unholy cause.
It is the 'bonny butcher lad, That wears the sleeves of blue, He sells the flesh on Saturday, On Friday that he slew." "And what is that I ain doing now?" thought Ratcliffe. "But I'll hae nae wyte of Robertson's young bluid, if I can help it;" then speaking apart to Madge, he asked her, "Whether she did not remember ony o' her auld Sangs?"
I remember one began: "What do ye want the bluid of, bluid of? Is it a name, or is it a clan, Or is it an aefauld Hielandman, That ye want the bluid of, bluid of?"

I wussed her to wash it in St. Anthony's Well, and that will cleanse if onything can But they say bluid never bleaches out o' linen claith Deacon Sanders's new cleansing draps winna do't I tried them mysell on a bit rag we hae at hame that was mailed wi' the bluid of a bit skirting wean that was hurt some gate, but out it winna come Weel, yell say that's queer; but I will bring it out to St.
She lives in two forms: first, as the harvest effigy made of corn-stalks bound together, the last gleanings; secondly, as "the Fairy Queen Proserpina," who carried Thomas the Rhymer from beneath the Eildon Tree to that land which lies beyond the stream of slain men's blood. "For a' the bluid that's shed on earth Flows through the streams of that countrie." Obv. Head of Apollo. Rev.
"The only drap o' gentle bluid that's in your body was our great-grand-uncle's that was justified* at Dumbarton, and you set yourself up to say ye wad derogate frae your place to visit me! Hark thee, man I owe thee a day in harst I'll pay up your thousan pund Scots, plack and bawbee, gin ye'll be an honest fallow for anes, and just daiker up the gate wi' this Sassenach."
South Inch Keith, I played a bowl i' the water, just for divairsion and I catched twarree fish!" Christie. "Floonders, I bet." Flucker. "Does floonders swim high? I'll let you see his gills, and if ye are a reicht fishwife ye'll smell bluid." Here he opened his jacket, and showed a bright little fish.

"Now, don't be comparing an Irishman, if you plaze, Adjutant, to a scratch-back Scotchman. The raal Irishman has fire enough in his bluid; but there's no denying a glass of potheen is the stuff to regulate it.
