"What is that you say, Edie?" said Oldbuck, hoping, perhaps, that his ears had betrayed their duty "what were you speaking about!" "About this bit bourock, your honour," answered the undaunted Edie; "I mind the bigging o't." "The devil you do! Why, you old fool, it was here before you were born, and will be after you are hanged, man!"
