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'.
However, here, my friend Dandie Davie what do they call you? keep between that fellow and us for the protection of the ladies. 'Lord! Mr. Pleydell, said the astonished farmer, 'that's Captain Brown; d 'ye no ken the Captain? 'Nay, if he's a friend of yours we may be safe enough, answered Pleydell; 'but keep near him.
This dog and the Old English Sheepdog are much alike in appearance, but that the bearded is a more racy animal, with a head resembling that of the Dandie Dinmont rather than the square head of the Bobtail. The strong-limbed bearded Collie is capable of getting through a good day's work, but is not so steady nor so wise as the old-fashioned black and white, or even the smooth coated variety.
When these individual examinations were ended, the collie and the Dandie were allowed to leave the ring. Their leaders creditably maintained the traditional air of being glad that was over, as they escorted their entries back to their respective benches; and then the judge settled down to further study of the bulldog, the Welshman, the Moor, and Jan.
A short distance further on is Stagshawbank, famed for its fairs, the glory of which, however, has greatly departed since the days when Dandie Dinmont had such adventures on returning from "Staneshiebank."
'Beshrew my tongue, that said so! answered the counsellor; 'it will cost my ears a dinning. Well, say in two words what you've got to say. You see the gentleman waits. 'Ou, sir, if the gentleman likes he may play his ain spring first; it's a' ane to Dandie.
Then, without answering his questions, she armed Dinmont also with a large pistol, and desired them to choose sticks for themselves out of a parcel of very suspicious-looking bludgeons which she brought from a corner. Bertram took a stout sapling, and Dandie selected a club which might have served Hercules himself.
She's getting a big girl now, and I'll be taking her out in the Dandie with me and tying her down on the low deck there and giving her a pig's bladder, and she'll be playing away as nice as nice. See?" Nancy looked at him, and he dropped his eyes before her. "Is it wanting to get done with me, you are, Pete?" she said in a quavering voice.
She looked up; her smile vanished. 'Go down, Dandie, she said severely, and walked quickly into the house with as much dignity as nineteen is capable of. At breakfast the Elsmeres found their guest a difficulty. But they also, as we know, had expected it.
Some say that the Dandie is the result of crossing a strain of rough-haired terriers with the Dachshund; others that a rough-haired terrier was crossed with the Otterhound; and others again assert that no direct cross was ever introduced to found the breed, but that it was gradually evolved from the rough-haired terriers of the Border district. And this latter theory is probably correct.
