His bowed legs were encased in loose black trousers, and had as many angles as the forepaws of a Dachshund or a Dandie Dinmont. The peculiarities of his ungainly gait and figure were even more apparent than usual, and as he walked he swung his long arms, that ended in large black gloves which looked as if they were stuffed with sawdust.
There are some no bad folk amang the gipsies too, to be sic a gang, added Dandie; 'if ever I see that auld randle-tree of a wife again, I 'll gie her something to buy tobacco. I have a great notion she meant me very fair after a'.
'Why, it is not for debt, answered Bertram; 'and if you have time to sit down, I'll tell you all I know of the matter myself. 'If I hae time? said Dandie, with an accent on the word that sounded like a howl of derision. 'Ou, what the deevil am I come here for, man, but just ance errand to see about it? But ye'll no be the waur o' something to eat, I trow; it's getting late at e'en.
The popularity of the Dandie has now lasted for nearly a hundred years, and there is no reason why it should not last for another century, if breeders will only steer clear of the exaggeration of show points, and continue to breed a sound, active, and hardy terrier.

It still lay deserted except for the figure of Dandie, who was now seen to be scribbling in his lap, the hour of expected inspiration having come to him at last. Thence she passed rapidly through the morass, and came to the farther end of it, where a sluggish burn discharges, and the path for Hermiston accompanies it on the beginning of its downward way.

You're shürely no sponsible the day! And anyway I would mind my guid claes." "Hoot!" said Christina, and went on before them, head in air, treading the rough track with the tread of a wild doe.
"Weel, Mac-Guffog," said Dandie, "I hae just twa things to say. Ye ken wha I am weel eneugh, and that I wadna loose a prisoners" "And how do I ken that?" answered the jailor.
A boy of fourteen, tall and fair, with a flushed, merry face, crossed the room and opened the door more widely. "Oh, aye, Mr. Strickland, I'm in!" "Is Alexander?" "Not yet. I haven't seen him.
