But never look like a sow playing upon a trump for the luve of that, man come and walk wi' me.

As a consequence of our ancient alliance and direct trade with France, that wine was not only good, but was plentiful and cheap cheap enough, indeed, to become almost the national drink and vast quantities were daily consumed; though there were not wanting those who, protesting that claret was "shilpit" and "cauld on the stomach," called loudly for brandy, and with copious draughts of that spirit corrected the acidity of the less potent wine.
