"Andy Gowran, I dismiss you from my service for your impertinence," said Lady Eustace. "It's ae ane to Andy Gowran for that, my leddie.

"The auld gude wife's wheel-hoordet nits Are round an' round divided; An' mony lads and lassies' fates Are there that night decided. Some kindle couthie side by side An' burn thegither trimly; Some start awa wi' saucy pride And jump out owre the chimlie."

"The auld gude wife's wheel-hoordet nits Are round an' round divided; An' mony lads and lassies' fates Are there that night decided. Some kindle couthie side by side An' burn thegither trimly; Some start awa wi' saucy pride And jump out owre the chimlie."

The very smell of the dog was couthie in his nose. The window of a bedroom went up with a crash. "Now, then, who the devil are you?" came the voice of old Gourlay. "It's me, faither," said John. "Oh, it's you, is it? This is a fine time o' night to come home." "Faither, I have I have won the Raeburn!" "It'll keep, my mannie, it'll keep" and the window slammed. Next moment it was up.

"As he rode down the sanctified bends of the Bow, Each carline was flyting and shaking her pow; But the young Plants of Grace they looked couthie and slee, Saying, 'Luck to thy bonnet, thou bonnie Dundee."

Hee-o, wee-o, hear the wild bees hummin', See the blackcock by the burnie drummin', Wattle-weaving sit we snug and couthie, Hee-o, wee-o, birdling in our boothie!
