He turned white with dismay then red with anger, and stood speechless. But he was quickly brought to himself by a sharp pinch under the shoulder blade from Kelpie's long teeth: he had forgotten her, and she had taken the advantage. "Wha tellt ye that, Lizzy?" he said.

As she spoke, she knelt, and wiped his face and head with her apron. A fresh oath rushed to Angus's lips, but the fear of a second jugful made him suppress it, and Janet sat down again to her dinner.
"But am dootin' ye're a fell billy wi' the lasses." "Ay, oh, I d'na kin; moderate, moderate," said Sam'l, in high delight. "I saw ye," said Eppie, speaking with a wire in her mouth, "gaein' on terr'ble wi' Mysy Haggart at the pump last Saturday." "We was juist amoosin' oorsel's," said Sam'l.
