As I approached he rose, and came to meet me with the brogues in his hand. "Man, Peter," said he, "I maun juist be gangin'." "Going!" I repeated; "going where?" "Back tae Glenure the year is a'most up, ye ken, an' I wadna' hae ma brither Alan afore me wi' the lassie, forbye he's an unco braw an' sonsy man, ye ken, an' a lassie's mind is aye a kittle thing."

'Ye vratch! what for didna ye tell me that afore? 'Ye wadna hear aboot ither fowk's affairs. Na, not you! But some fowk has no richt to consideration. The verra stanes they say 'ill cry oot ill secrets like brither Sandy's.
I hope I shall never forget to give according to my prosperings." "Tak the world as it is, my lad, and no' as it ought to be; and never forget that money is money's brither an' you put two pennies in a purse they'll creep thegither. "But then Davie, I am free to say gold won't buy everything, and though rich men hae long hands, they won't reach to heaven.

His returns near goal were neat and clean, and without being in any way rough with an opponent. Vallance's length of limb and good judgment often saved his club from losing goals.
