All the girls in school are going to bang their hair as soon as their mothers will let them. But I do not intend to bang mine. D-n. What are details? C-l-y.

The other fellow is a deserter, a gipsy, and an outlaw. Meg Merrilies, d-n her, is dead. These infernal bills! Hatteraick brought them with him, I suppose, to have the means of threatening me or extorting money from me.
