"Ay, sir, but ye didna pay me my wages," said Malcolm, who had sprung to the door and now stood holding it half shut, while Mr Crathie pushed it half open. "No matter.

'They winna brak the bargain, cried Shargar, beginning almost to whimper, for a savoury smell of dinner was coming across the yard. 'Tell them it's stown siller, and they'll be in het watter aboot it gin they dinna gie ye 't back. 'I maun hae my denner first, remonstrated Shargar.
