"How muckle? why, all." "A' the 'oo! ye blackguard, ye're no blate." "Keep your temper, farmer, it is not worth our while to shear sheep for less than that." "De'il go wi' ye then!" and he moved off in great dudgeon. "Stop," cried the captain, "you and I are acquainted you lived out Wellington way me and another wandered to your hut one day and you gave us our supper."
Here another fiery look was darted at Solomon, who appeared deeply engaged among leases, papers, and such other documents as were before him. "It's a bad business certainly, Sam but now about the rent?" "Hut! de'il a penny o' rent I have hell take the tester; and yet, for all that, all pay you afore a laive the room what do you think of that?" "I don't understand it, Sam."
A good name it is, and one it would ill-become my father's son to lightly. But I begin to grue at the sound of it." "My name is called Balfour," said I, "David Balfour of Shaws. As for him that sent me, I will let his token speak." And I showed the silver button. "Put it in your pocket, sir!" cries he, "Ye need name no names. The deevil's buckie, I ken the button of him! And de'il hae't!
That picture of the country lad in his earliest act of hero-worship at the grave of Burns would have been a good subject for the pencil of Millais or of Holman Hunt. At the corner of Hyde Park I parted from Mr. Carlyle, and watched him striding away, as if, like the De'il in "Tam O'Shanter," he had "business on his hand."
The de'il at other times gi'es, it's said, his agents a mutchkin o' mischief, but on this night it's thought they hae a chappin; and one thing most demonstrable is; but, sir, the sun's down the blessed light o' day is ayont the hill, and it's no safe to be subjek to the whisking o' the mildew frae the tails o' the benweed ponies that are saddled for yon awfu' carnavaulings, where Cluty plays on the pipes! so I wis you, sir, gude night and weel hame.
"May the de'il catch thee!" said MacGrawler, stung to the quick, for, like all Scots, he was a patriot; much on the same principle as a woman who has the worst children makes the best mother. The sage grinned in spite; but remembering the patience of Epictetus when a slave, and mindful also of the strong arm of Long Ned, he curbed his temper, and turned the beefsteaks with his fork.
Which Catherine were the name giben me by my sponsibles in baptism; and Mortimer were de name 'ferred upon me in holy matrimony by my late demented 'panion; which he was de coachman to ole Comedy Burghe, as fought de Britishers in the war of eighteen hundred and twelve." "What the de'il is the woman talking about?" here put in the magistrate.
Lady Crossways would have been furious, and would have come quickly to Ardshiel to punish her rebellious child, and as likely as not to fall under Hollyhock's charm. Poor Mrs Macintyre was most unhappy about the girl; and as for Hollyhock, she was downright wretched, but also, as she herself described it, very wicked-like and full of a big slice o' the de'il.
Hollyhock was roused at last. Her forgiving nature had reached its limit. She felt naughty and wilful, and with a spice, as she expressed it, o' the de'il stirring in her breast. She was told by one of the girls that Mrs Macintyre's intercession with Leucha had proved all in vain, and she determined, therefore, to make poor ghostie more terrible in appearance than he had ever been before.
