At the same time, as my mither used of'en to say, an ill shearer never got a guid heuk, an', I daursay, Moses an' his wife, as uswally occurs, baith blame ane anither." We feenisht oor tea, an' got set doon at the winda wi' oor stockin's an' oor seams, juist to hae a richt corrieneuchin, as Mistress Winton ca'd it. Mysie an' me were baith at ribbit socks, so we tried a stent wi' ane anither.
I'm thinkin' gin ane o' the bairnies that he took upo' 's knee, an' he was ill-pleased wi' them 'at wad hae sheued them awa', gin ane o' them had hauden up his wee timmer horsie, wi' a broken leg, and had prayed him to work a miracle an' men' the leg, he wadna hae wrocht a miracle maybe, I daursay, but he wad hae smilet, or maybe lauchen a wee, and he wad hae men't the leg some gait or ither to please the bairnie.
And yo' know varra well, it may be runnin' too fasst to get t' horses through an' they'd be three pussons inside, an' luggage at top." "Aye, they may have to goa back to Pengarth that's varra possible." "An' all t' dinner spoilin', an' t' fires wastin' for nowt." The speaker stood peering discontentedly into the gloom without: "But you'll not trouble yoursen, Tammas, I daursay."
She heard every word, and went about her work softly that she might hear, never opening her mouth to speak. 'There's something ye want to tell me and dinna like, lassie! said David. 'Gien ye be feart at yer father, gang til yer mither. 'Feart at my father! I wad be, gien I bed onything to be ashamet o'. Syne I micht gang to my mither, I daursay I dinna ken. 'Ye wud that, lassie.
"I ken naething aboot yer Seechies or yer Sukies," rejoined Miss Horn. "I ken 'at ye're bun' to be a lord and no a stableman, an' I s' no lat ye rist till ye up an' say what neist?" "It's what I ha'e been sayin' for the last three month," said Malcolm. "Ay, I daursay; but ye ha'e been sayin' 't upo' the braid o' yer back, and I wad ha'e ye up an' sayin' 't."
It was joy was in the creature's heart; the joy o' hell, I daursay: joy whatever. Nae doubt they burn for it in muckle hell, but they have a grand time here of it, whatever! and the Lord forgie us!

"Oh, yes," he said at last, brightening up, "I was sayin' to ye hoo quick I was to see the humorous side o' onything. "Man, man," said Hendry, admiringly, "and what is't?" "Oh, it's this, there's something humorous in speirin' a woman to let ye aff so as ye can be married to another woman." "I daursay there is," said Hendry, doubtfully.
The man 'at made the ballant, I daursay, thoucht him weel payed gien the bonny leddy said thank ye till him." "Oh! but, Donal, that wouldn't be enough! Would it, Nicie?" "But a serpent! a serpent's mouth, Nicie!"
"Na; they've been luikin' at me, I daursay; but I didna heed them, an' they didna fash me." "You look so strangely bright!" she said, "as if you had seen something both marvellous and beautiful!" The words revealed a quality of insight not hitherto manifested by Florimel.
"Ow! na; I daursay no. But ye may jist as weel ken noo, that that ted, Robert Bruce, has twa hunner poun' odd o' yer ain, lassie; and gin he doesna use ye weel, ye can jist tell him 'at I telt ye sae." This piece of news had not the overpowering effect upon Annie which, perhaps, her aunt had expected. No doubt the money seemed in her eyes a limitless fortune; but then Bruce had it.
