"You don't surely despise the poor fellow so much as to scorn to have the same parents with him!" said Mr Graham. "The verra contrar', sir. But a wuman wha wad sae misguide the son o' her ain body, an' for naething but that, as she had broucht him furth, sic he was! it 's no to be lichtly believed nor lichtly endured.
