"It's ower near Dalmally, my leddy, to corn the beasts; it would bring their dinner ower near their breakfast, poor things.
He still lingered in the room, and was still there when I came away; for, having had as many pictures as I could digest, I left my wife and U with the cicerone, and set out on a ramble with J . We plunged from the upper city down through some of the strangest passages that ever were called streets; some of them, indeed, being arched all over, and, going down into the unknown darkness, looked like caverns; and we followed one of them doubtfully, till it opened out upon the light.
