Katte snatches the music-books and flutes, snatches Quantz; hurries with him and them into some wall-press, or closet for firewood, and stands quaking there. Our poor Prince has flung aside his brocade, got on his military coatie; and would fain seem busy with important or indifferent routine matters.
On such occasions Fritz was wont to pull off the tight Prussian coat or COATIE, and clap himself into flowing brocade of the due roominess and splendor, bright scarlet dressing-gown, done in gold, with tags and sashes complete; and so, in a temporary manner, feel that there was such a thing as a gentleman's suitable apparel.
"Wha was that?" asked his wife. "Ow! it was naebody but Jeames Johnston, wantin' a bit o' flannin for's wife's coatie." "And what had he to say 'at keepit ye till yer tay's no fit to drink?" "Ow! my tay'll do weel eneuch. It's nae by ordinar' cauld." "But what said he?" "Weel! hm! hm! He said it was fine frosty weather." "Ay, nae doobt! He kent that by the way the shuttle flew.

I don't want to be selfish or inconsiderate, my own dearest girlie, but it would be rather too much if we allowed my tailor or your dressmaker to be obstacles to our union. I just want you your dainty little self if you had only your 'wee coatie, as Burns says. Now look here! I want you to bring your influence to bear upon your mother, and so make a small change in our plans.
