He told me that my grandmother stopped her schooling at fourteen, and he said she was the grandest lady, and the finest and bonniest, in the country, and that no one could ever put her to shame; for, although she had not much learning to boast of, she had a smart answer for every single thing that was said to her.
'Ye must git t' roses back t' yer cheeks, he exclaimed, with a short laugh, 'I canna be takin' a ghost t' church. She smiled tremulously, and he continued, laying one hand affectionately on her shoulder: 'Nay, but I was but jestin'. Roses or na roses, ye'll be t' bonniest bride in all Coomberland. I'll meet ye in Hullam lane, after church time, tomorrow, he added, moving towards the door.

There were senners and herdsmen in their holiday costumes, with flowers and ribbons in their hats; there were leiterwagen returning with the chests of clothes and the now empty meal-sacks; but more than this, there were four pretty little lads, each leading the bonniest, cleanest little calf ever seen.
'I creepit up, an' I keeked within the openin' o't, an' there I saw twa hunters sittin' at board eatin', and whiles drinkin' the blood-red wine ane o' them was the bonniest man e'er I saw i' my life, but he had the sorrowfullest eyes e'er set i' a man's face. There was ne'er a bit colour to his cheeks save where a trickle o' claret had stained the corner o' his lip.
There wasna a pound o' flesh on her bones; and the carriers at the burial aye said, that there wasna a corpse ava in the coffin. But puir Marion has dreed a waur weird." "My puir bairn! my puir bairn!" cried the mother. "The folk o' Leslie aye said she wad ride in her carriage, for she was the bonniest lass that ever was seen in Christ's Kirk.

Wild Robin was safe, and the elves had lost their power over him forever.
"I will be missing his step," she said softly, "when my man is on the hill," but Ronny would not be listening. "It will make a man of the lad," said he; "there's something clean and fine about the sea." Bryde had sold his beasts well, and it was his pleasure to be showing Margaret the bonniest foals, rough-haired and tousled as they were, and Hugh and me would be passing judgment.
Well and miserably he recalled the words of Farquhar, who had served some years at the same station with the Rays: "She's the bonniest little army girl I know, and her head's as level as it is pretty except on one point.
