"Never mind," said Mr Cripps, magnanimously, "you're a light weight. And so you're taking a dander down town, are you? looking for lollipops, eh?" Stephen blushed very red at this. However had Mr Cripps guessed about the brandy-balls? "I came to get a paper for Loman," he said, "but they're all sold out." "No, are they? I wonder what Mr Loman wants with a paper, now?"
That Macdougall, now, though you laugh in that light-hearted way, ain't to be trifled with, Mister Leigh, I warn you; and if you go for to raise his dander ag'in you, why, you won't find it worth grinning at, that's sartin, for he's as nasty as he's spiteful, and every man Jack of us hates him like pizen, and wishes he were out of the ship.
"It was not always so, sir, but times change. It was not so when the sword was in the scale, young gentleman, and the virtues of the soldier might sustain themselves." There came a kind of Highland snuffle out of the man that raised my dander strangely. "Well, Mr. Macgregor," said I, "I understand the main thing for a soldier is to be silent, and the first of his virtues never to complain."
You've stood at the door, and kept us in; now I'll keep you in awhile. I want to talk to you, that's more than you ever did to us. How do you like bein' shut in? Does it feel good? Does it make your dander rise? 'Let me out, he'll say agin, 'this moment, Sir, how dare you. Oh! you are in a hurry, are you? sais you. 'You've kept me in all my life; don't be oneasy if I keep you in five minutes.
For two seconds the square shakes to an invasion of dogs, and then again there is only one dog in sight. No one will admit the Scotch mist. It "looks saft." The tinsmith "wudna wonder but what it was makkin' for rain." Tammas Haggart and Pete Lunan dander into sight bareheaded, and have to stretch out their hands to discover what the weather is like.
Ye've got a good 'art enough, so don't work yer dander up with this 'ere old chap what's a-trampin' it to try and find out all that's left o's fam'ly an' friends 'fore turnin' up 'is toes to the daisies. 'Is name is David, an' 'e's been kickt out o' office work through bein' too old. That's 'is ticket!"
"I'm not afraid of the whole gang," Douglas replied. "What can they do to me?" "I don't know," and Jake scratched his head in perplexity. "But I advise ye to be keerful. Si's an ugly brute when he gits his dander up, an' it's ginerally up most of the time." Douglas was not left long in doubt as to what action Simon Stubbles would take.
So a bit later the waggons started, and as I expected they would, went up a side valley instead of going on by the caravan route. The fellow had riz my dander, and after sitting for a bit I made up my mind I would go after 'em. I had no particular motive, it wur just out of cussedness. I was not going to be bluffed from going whar I chose.
I continued to urge; though to my chagrin, I began to perceive that it was an idle effort. "Yuv riz my dander; an', by God! yuv got to fight for it!" "But surely " "Stop yur palaver! By the tarnal airthquake, I'll 'gin to think you air a coward! I thort ye'd show, the white feather afore 'twur all over!" "Enough!" cried I, stung by the taunt; "I am ready for you one way or the other. Go on."
It lookit like's there was genna be a sale or a raffle or something. He gaed doon to supper Donal' i' the forenicht, an' I took a dander awa' doon ahent him, juist to get a moof'u' o' caller air. When I landit at the stable door I heard Sandy speakin' to somebody.
