They say, he sets them over and after one another; and has lations of them that he lets out on the craturs' cabins, to larn how many grains of salt every man takes with his little prates, and bring information if a straw would be stirring. O'Bla. Ay, and if it would, then, it's Carver that would quake like the aspin leaf I know that.
He could have read a book by means of it quite easily. In half an hour they drew near to the light, which they found proceeded from the window of a small cottage or hut. "Whist, Martin," whispered Barney, as they approached the hut on tiptoe; "there may be savages into it, an' there's no sayin' what sort o' craturs they are in them parts."
Fairies have the reputation of being in general good-humored and kindly, though full of merry pranks and frolicsome tricks; yet the peasants are very careful not to offend them by intruding upon their haunts at night, or speaking disrespectfully of their little mightinesses for they say, "they have tempers of their own, and not having a Christian idication, can't be blamed for not behaving in a Christian-like fashion poor craturs."
I believe Kirsty came pretty near knowing, but even she was not always sure where wilful oddity and where misapprehension was at the root of a remark. 'Gien ye set yer fit upon a hole, said Kirsty, 'what can the puir thing du but gang doon intil 't? Ye maunna be oonrizzonable wi' the craturs, Steenie! Ye maun be fair til them.

Oh! there's the difference! who could like the man that's always talking of the craturs, and yet, to save the life of the poorest cratur that's forced to live under him, wouldn't forbear to drive, and pound, and process, for the little con acre, the potatoe ridge, the cow's grass, or the trifle for the woman's peck of flax, was she dying, and sell the woman's last blanket?

You've made your family quite contented and peaceable and they never fight for the praties now good reason why they shouldn't, seeing that there's a plenty for all of them, and the pig craturs into the bargain.

Gineral, there may be lots o' the warrior reptiles in among the huts, and them poor craturs have been sent out to decaive us." "That's true. Forward my lads!" shouted Ole and again the army charged nor did they stop short until they had taken possession of the village, when they found that all the fighting men were gone.
