Presently, however, the pacific Cosh, who in his hours of leisure was addicted to mild philosophical rumination, gave a fresh turn to the conversation. "Mphm!" he observed thoughtfully. "They say that in a war every man has a bullet waiting for him some place or other, with his name on it! Sooner or later, he gets it. Aye! Mphm!"
At the present moment, after a long run of adversity, Privates Cosh and Tosh are one penny to the good. Once again fortune smiles upon them. The first two shots go right through the bull eight points straight away. The third is an inner; the fourth another bull; the fifth just grazes the line separating inners from outers. Private Tosh, who is scoring, promptly signals an inner.
"Yon were verra suitable words at the second table; he's a speeritually minded man, Maister Cosh, and has the richt sough." Or at the worst, when Burnbrae's courage had failed: "Maister McKittrick had a fine text afore the table. I aye like tae see a man gang tae the Song o' Solomon on the Sacrament Sabbath. A' mind Dr. Guthrie on that verra subject twenty years syne."
"My rifle's jammed!" he cried. "Take mine." And I stooped to get one from a casualty underfoot. But a moment later, as I fired from the parapet, my bayonet was broken off by a German bullet.

But just as the Inverness stopped with a bump, some one of the committee came to his senses, and rushed to the captain, pointing out the frantically waving hosts on the dock. "Cosh!

"This," said Bulldog, with a shrewd glance, "is mair than ordinary modesty; we 'ill take another witness. Ernest Molyneux, what have ye got to say?" "Cosh called my father names, and ... I lost my t-temper, and ... and ... I said things ... the pater's ill, sir, so I ... and Cosh stwuck me once or twice but I don't mind that; only Peter, you see, sir, wanted to help me.
"Did ye give Robert Cosh a licking?" No answer from Speug, but a look of satisfaction that was beyond all evidence. "Was that just yir natural iniquity, Peter, or had ye a justification?" Dogged silence of Speug, whose code of honour had one article at least never to tell on a fellow.
There is no meeting now in the summer evenings, as I remember often happened in my younger days, with decent ladies coming home with red faces, tosy and cosh, from a posset-masking; so, both for its temperance and on account of Mrs Malcolm's sale, I refrained from the November in this year to preach against tea; but I never lifted the weight of my displeasure from off the smuggling trade, until it was utterly put down by the strong hand of government.
Besides my wife and child, the following accompanied us to the field: Revs. Copeland, Cosh, and M'Nair, along with their respective wives.
Yuh sure missed it, Chip. You ought " "By cripes, if that Dutch " "Break away there, Irish!" shouted Chip, dismounting hurriedly. "Has it got so you must fight an old man like that?" "Py cosh, I'll fight mit him alreatty! I'll fight mit any mans vat shpoils mine bread.
