They are very pretty buttons; are not they, Milly? A present, a souvenir, I dare say? This was a terrible hit at the button-maker, and I thought he looked a little oddly at me, but my countenance was so 'bewitchingly simple' that I suppose his suspicions were allayed.
"Who's your authority for that?" asked Alley; "but whoever is, is a liar, and the truth is not in him that's what I say." "Ay, but what do you know about it?" asked the grazier. "You're not in Miss Gourlay's saicrets and a devilish handsome, gentlemanly lookin' fellow they say the button-maker is. Faith, I can tell you, I give tooth-an-egg-credit.

Miss Gourlay's not the stuff to fall in love wid any button-maker, even if he made buttons of goold; an' sure they say that the king an' queen, and the whole royal family wears golden buttons." "I think, in spaiking of buttons," observed the grazier, with a grin, "that you might lave the queen out."
