On the bridge he encountered three dark figures, which, upon inspection, resolved themselves into Old Man Bogle, Deacon Pettybone, and Elder Hooper. "Scattergood," said the elder, "somethin's happened." "Somethin' 'most allus does." "This here's special and horrifyin'." "Havin' to do with what?" "That coffee gal, that baggage, that hussy!" "Um!... Sich as?"
Here, talking of news, my Lord Anglesey did tell us that the Dutch do make a further bogle with us about two or three things, which they will be satisfied in, he says, by us easily; but only in one, it seems, they do demand that we shall not interrupt their East Indiamen coming home, and of which they are in some fear; and we are full of hopes that we have 'light upon some of them, and carried them into Lisbon, by Harman; which God send!
He paused a moment then went on "When I found myself quite alone in the world, I hired myself out to a farmer for five years and worked faithfully for him worked so well that he raised my wages and would willingly have kept me on but I had the 'bogle tales' in my head and could not rest.
"The colonel has warned officers about their kits, and it would never do to have mine turned back from the waggon at the last minute." Mr. Bogle pricked up his ears. "The waggon? Are we for off again, sirr?" he inquired. "Indeed I could not say," replied the cautious Angus; "but it is well to be ready."
"Jest got in a line of gardenin' tools, Bogle." "Town's goin' to be het up for certain," said Mr. Bogle, waggling his ancient head. "Calc'late to have all the tools I need." "Who's figgerin' on runnin' for legislature, Marvin?" "Guess Will Pratt's puttin' up Pazzy Cox ag'in." Pratt was postmaster and local party leader. "Anybody calc'latin' to run ag'in' him, Marvin? Any opposition appearin'?"
Never did I think to be frayed with a bogle, and, as might have been deemed, the bogle but a prentice loon, when all was done. To my thinking all this fairy work is no more true than that you are a dead man's wraith. But they are all wild about it, at the castle, where I was kept long, doing no trade, and listening to their mad clatter."

Here, at first, her husband had not rejoined her; he had come up with the boy, who, clutching his hand, abounded, as usual, in remarks worthy of the family archives; but the two appeared then to have proceeded to report to Miss Bogle.
Gosford, Roger's dearest and most intimate friend and confidant, then in North Wales, got intelligence, and hastened to London to ascertain if the joyful news could be true. But the enormous individual had vanished again. The circumstance was strange. Bogle had written letters from Australia declaring that this was the identical gentleman he had known years before as Mr.
It is a strange thing I will never have been meddled with a bogle; but they say a maid goes safe. Next there was my uncle's marriage, and that was a dreadful affair beyond all. Jean Kay was that woman's name; and she had me in the room with her that night at Inversnaid, the night we took her from her friends in the old, ancient manner.
