And then, second, if they keep the track of us, it may come to a fecht for it yet, Davie; and then, I'll confess I would be blythe to have you at my oxter, and I think you would be none the worse of having me at yours. So, by my way of it, we should creep out of this wood no further gone than just the inside of next minute, and hold away east for Gillane, where I'm to find my ship.
Saddletree, each talking as he could get a word thrust in, the one on the laws of Scotland, the other on those of syntax, and neither listening to a word which his companion uttered. Elswhair he colde right weel lay down the law, But in his house was meek as is a daw. Davie Lindsay. "There has been Jock Driver the carrier here, speering about his new graith," said Mrs.
"I can fix it, I most know; do get some paper, Joe, as quick as you can." "Don't know where there is any," said Joel, rummaging around; "it's all tore up; 'xcept the almanac; can't I take that?" "Oh dear, no!" cried Polly; "put it right back, Joe; I guess there's some in the wood-shed." "There isn't either," said little Davie, quickly; "Joel and I took it to make kites with."
"I have never tried to save anything yet, uncle, but I am going to begin." The old man sat silent for a few moments, and then said, "I wont do it, Davie." "It is only £2,000, Uncle John." "Only £2,000! Hear the lad! Did ye ever mak £2,000? Did ye ever save £2,000? When ye hae done that ye'll ne'er put in the adverb, Davie. Only £2,000, indeed!" "I thought you loved me, uncle."
The first thing Whackinta did on coming forward was to deposit the baby on the snow with its head downwards by mistake, whereat it began to scream vociferously. This scream was accomplished by Davie Summers creeping below the stage and putting his mouth to a hole in the flooring close to which the baby's head lay.
Alan Anderson and Davie can live in the house, and Mr Cadell will come over every morning. He 'll ride his bicycle and be with you in good time. If you know of anything better, which I doubt, you have but to say the word. Now, then, I have my motor-car at the door. We 'll drive right away to The Paddock and see the rooms for the lads and teachers.

'It's his ghaist, muttered Davie; yet, coming nearer, he seemed to acknowledge his living acquaintance. The poor fool himself appeared the ghost of what he had been.
The light from the flickering lamps the miners carried fell upon his delicate features; but his eyes brightly gleamed, as, laying his hands on the bowed head of his old friend, he softly said, 'Master Morgan, let us not fear; our God is with us still! 'Maybe He has forgotten us, Davie, the man pitifully moaned, for even his strong courage had broken down in face of this calamity.
Auld Janet was established at the ingle-nook; Davie had turned the spit to his immortal honour; and even Ban and Buscar, in the liberality of Macwheeble's joy, had been stuffed to the throat with food, and now lay snoring on the floor.
