"And for the sake o' the family I sall watch her well," she decided; "she sall na lightly either the Cairds or the Promoters if I ken mysel'": and from the moment of that resolve, Allan was ranged in her mind, "among the wolves that raven round the fold." There was nothing in the parting to strengthen her suspicions.
The tribes of gipsies, jockies, or cairds for by all these denominations such banditti were known became few in number, and many were entirely rooted out. Still, however, a sufficient number remained to give, occasional alarm and constant vexation.
Before Pan could find a reply for the girl one of the gamesters, an unshaven scowling fellow, addressed Hardman. "Say, air you playin' cairds or watchin' your dame make up to that big hat an' high boots?" Pan grasped the opportunity, though he never would have let that remark pass under any circumstances.
In the first place, by all my Gods and No Gods, neither Green, nor Martineau, nor the Cairds were in my mind when I talked of "Sentimental Deism," but the "Vicaire Savoyard," and Charming, and such as Voysey. There are two chapters of "Rousseauism," I have not touched yet Rousseauism in Theology, and Rousseauism in Education.

Ye're ower ready, I trow, to murmur under dispensation of Proavidence that ye canna fathom like the Eesraelites of auld. I'll say nae mair to ye.
Donald listened with much gravity to the account of their adventure; and answered with great composure to David's repeated inquiries, whether he could have suspected that the cairds had been lurking there, "Inteed, Master Tavie, I might hae had some guess that they were there, or thereabout, though maybe I had nane.
If we take the Cairds, they tell us little more of the principle of the universe it is always a return into the identity of the self from the difference of its objects. It separates itself from them and so becomes conscious of them in their separation from one another, while at the same time it binds them together as elements in one higher self-consciousness.

The card which happened to lie outermost, at the right-hand end of the circle, was, according to rule in such cases, the card chosen to represent Me. By way of being appropriate to my situation as a poor groom out of employment, the card was the King of Diamonds. "I tak' up the King o' Diamants," says my aunt. "I count seven cairds fra' richt to left; and I humbly ask a blessing on what follows."
