But Bruneau was not one to boggle at trifles. Women he would encounter young or old, dark or fair, ugly or beautiful, it was all one to him and the fools who withheld him riches must be punished for their niggard hand.
"It's highly possible," said he, sighing. "But it seems strange ye shouldna carry it. However, as I was saying, this Alan Breck is a bold, desperate customer, and well kennt to be James's right hand. His life is forfeit already; he would boggle at naething; and maybe, if a tenant-body was to hang back he would get a dirk in his wame." "You make a poor story of it all, Mr.

A house might elongate or enlarge itself or seem to do so to a gentleman who had been dining. The ocean might dry up, the rocks melt in the sun, the stars fall from heaven like autumn apples; and there was nothing in these incidents to boggle the philosopher.
