Auntie Jan came instead, and Tony, watching her face out of half-shut eyes, tried leaving out "bless Daddie" to see if anything happened. Sure enough something did; Auntie Jan looked startled. "Say 'Bless Daddie, Tony, 'and please help him." "To do what?" Tony asked. "Not to come back here?"
Every morning, after breakfast, she went into his room when he was washed and propped up in bed, to spend half an hour with him. 'Are you better, Daddie? she asked him invariably. And invariably he answered: 'Yes, I think I'm a little better, pet. She held his hand in both her own, lovingly and protectively. And this was very dear to him.
As that is to be my rôle for the future I may as well look the part." "But you don't that's what I complain of. The whiter your hair grows the younger your face gets. You're a contradiction, a paradox, you provoke conjecture, you're indecently noticeable. Mr. Ross would have loved to paint you." Jan shook her head.

I've nothing left now but my wedding ring and the little enamel chain like yours, that Daddie gave us the year he had that portrait of Meg in the Salon and took us over to see it. Where is Meg? Has she come back yet?"
Gude-e'en to ye, Daddie Ratton they tauld me ye were hanged, man; or did ye get out o' John Dalgleish's hands like half-hangit Maggie Dickson?" "Whisht, ye daft jaud," said Ratcliffe, "and hear what's said to ye." "Wi' a' my heart, Ratton.

'Not a better air in the whole piece, Artie; but, my boy, who do you think will ever understand the meaning of the words. The gods themselves won't know what you're driving at. 'But I'm going to strike out a new line, Daddie dear. I'm not going to play to the gallery; I mean to play to the stalls and boxes.
"I'll blacksnake the condemned fool that set fire to the prairie!" he swore, gulping down a lump in his throat. "Tell me you-all aren't hurt, Bertie Lee.... God! I thought you was swallowed up in that fire." "Daddie, daddie I couldn't help it. I had to do it," she wept. "And I thought I would choke to death, but Mr. Prince saved me.
"Madge," said Ratcliffe, "hae ye ony joes now?" "An ony body ask ye, say ye dinna ken. Set him to be speaking of my joes, auld Daddie Ratton!" "I dare say, ye hae deil ane?" "See if I haena then," said Madge, with the toss of the head of affronted beauty "there's Rob the Ranter, and Will Fleming, and then there's Geordie Robertson, lad that's Gentleman Geordie what think ye o' that?"
He is weel acquent wi' a' the smugglers, thieves, and banditti about Edinburgh; and, indeed, he may be called the father of a' the misdoers in Scotland, for he has passed amang them for these twenty years by the name of Daddie Rat."
