Saddletree gangs out, and ye're aware he's seldom at hame when there's ony o' the plea-houses open, poor Effie used to help me to tumble the bundles o' barkened leather up and down, and range out the gudes, and suit a' body's humours And troth, she could aye please the customers wi' her answers, for she was aye civil, and a bonnier lass wasna in Auld Reekie.
Her nose was delicate and faultless, and her complexion was that born of sun and rain and wind. "I think, Belle," said he, "you're gettin' bonnier, and if it wasna for the wean I would leave a kiss on your bonny red mouth."
Could she have looked bonnier if she had never left us?" said his wife fondly. Blushing, beaming, laughing, Bessie came in. How small the house seemed, and how full! There was young Christie's picture of her smiling above the mantelpiece, there was the doctor's old bureau and the old leathern chair.
"Troth, Nelly," said Margaret Crawford, addressing her hostess, "your Jenny's turned a perfect woman, I declare. Sic an odds there's on her within the last twalmonth! Mony a time I look at her when she's gaun past; and, to say the truth, ye may weel be proud o' yer dochter, for I dinna see a bonnier lassie i' the hale country-side than she is."
Have you come back sorely tired from the hunt or the race? Weary fa' the men folk that let you lie down with the dew-draps on your bonny curls bonnier than Miss Alice's, for a' their fleechin' as if it were high noon. No but noontide has its ills, too; but you would never heed a bonnet, neither for sun nor wind. A wild laddie, a wild laddie, Earlscraig!"
"Ay, she was aye bonny," said Janet, in the same low voice, "and she looks like an angel now." Graeme stood gazing at her sister, and in a little Janet spoke again. "Miss Graeme, you canna mind your aunt Marian?" No, Graeme could not. "Menie is growing very like her, I think. She was bonnier than your mother even, and she kept her beauty to the very last.
Mines is no to be mentioned wi' it, and there's few weemen has mair hair than what I have, or yet a bonnier colour.

They had but one bairn, a fine boy, who was the delight o' his father's heart, and I hae heard it said by they who kenn'd them at the time, that a bonnier or mair winsome hoy could'na hae been found in the city, than wee Geordie Stuart.
To his timid and faltering protestations of love she replied by subdued sighs, and by a dreamy smile; and when Bonnier at length dared to approach her with a bold confession of his passion when he was on his knees before her, all aglow with love and enthusiasm, Victoria bent over him with a sweet smile, and whispered: "Give me the papers that are to ruin Thugut; surrender that vile man to my revenge, and my love, my life are yours!"
"To punish you for your carelessness, you shall now leave the portfolio on the floor," she said, smiling; "nor shall you think of it again as long as I am with you. Tell me, will that be too hard for you?" She bent her beautiful face over him, and with flaming glances looked deeply into his eyes. Bonnier dropped the portfolio again and smiled.
