She came near him and stood still. "I'm for off up the muirs, Dandie," she said. There was something unusually soft in her tones that made him look up. She was pale, her eyes dark and bright; no trace remained of the levity of the morning. "Ay, lass? Ye'll have yer ups and downs like me, I'm thinkin'," he observed. "What for do ye say that?" she asked. "O, for naething," says Dand.
'Why, really, my dinner was not so excellent, Mr. Dinmont, as to spoil my supper. 'I daresay no, I daresay no, said Dandie.
One day Dandie Beaupoint found a little girl that had hurt herself, an' he picked her up in his arms an' was carryin' her home when one o' the Calvern boys shot him in his tracks. One o' the Beaupoint brothers was away at the time, but the others felt that the Calverns hadn't b'n playin' fair, an' they reckoned to lay them all out.
James Davidson died in the year 1820, by which time the Dandie Dinmont Terrier was being bred in considerable numbers by the Border farmers and others to meet the demand for it which had sprung up since the appearance of Guy Mannering.

The gentleman, happening to have a bad penny, gave it him; but the baker refused to give him a loaf for it. Dandie, receiving it back, returned to the door of the donor, and when a servant had opened it, laid the false coin at her feet, and walked away with an indignant air.

He was succeeded by "Trump," a Dandie Dinmont, a very charming dog with a delightful disposition, and perfectly honest until my elder daughter acquired a fox terrier, "Chips," well-bred but highly nervous.

'Just a trick of fortune, my good friend, said Bertram, rising and shaking him heartily by the hand, 'that's all. 'But what will be done about it? or what CAN be done about it? said honest Dandie.
