As he came nearer, Cosmo read peevishness and ill-temper in every line of his countryman's countenance, yet he approached him with confidence, for Scotchmen out of their own country are of good report for hospitality to each other. "Hoo's a' wi' ye?" he cried, sending his mother-tongue as a pursuivant in advance.
"You had seven hundred and fifty dollars of that countryman's money, didn't you?" "I saw seven hundred and fifty dollars of his money put in the envelope, but all I was to get for holding the envelope until those bad men returned was to be one dollar and they didn't even come back to pay me, and now I haven't delivered the groceries, and Mr. Dardus will be very angry." "Oh, ho!
Hamilton, you go home, sir, to England and find a country place, and get on a farm, and watch the corn growing, and hear the birds sing, and get hold of the smells of the fields, and the colors of the trees, and then you'll enjoy life and turn out poetry you can be proud of."

While Oldbuck ran on in this way, Sir Arthur was safely wrapped in the close embraces of his daughter, who, assuming that authority which the circumstances demanded, ordered some of the assistants to convey him to the chariot, promising to follow in a few minutes, She lingered on the cliff, holding an old countryman's arm, to witness probably the safety of those whose dangers she had shared.
I remember the remark of a Viennese designer who said, not inaptly, that his countryman's head resembled that of a handsome countess with a man's nose, while of Liszt he observed that he might sit to every painter for a Grecian god. There is a similar difference in their art.
When at last the bridge over the Bannisdale River came in sight, he began to check the pony. "Let's drive on a bit," he said entreatingly. "No, no I must get back to Mrs. Fountain." And she took the reins from his hands. "I say, when will you come again?" "Oh, I don't know." She had put on once more the stand-off town-bred manner that puzzled his countryman's sense.

If you won't believe a German, surely you will take your own countryman's professional word for it," and he smiled a little smile under his gray mustache.
