It's a' the white 'at there is about 'im. 'Wasna yer brither i' the airmy, Shargar? 'Ow, 'deed ay. They tell me he was at Watterloo. He's a cornel, or something like that. 'Wha tellt ye a' that?
"Nestie," said Speug, in hearing of the whole school, "ye're a plucky little deevil," and although since then he has been in many places and has had various modest triumphs, that still remains the proudest moment in Nestie Molyneux's life.
"Bliss me, Sandy man," says I, "that's the wind soochin' throo the trees in the banker's gairden, an' fizzin' in amon' the pipes o' the water barrels. It's shurely an awfu' nicht o' wind." Juist at this meenit you wudda thocht the very deevil himsel' had gotten grips o' the frame o' oor winda.
Jock yelled, as he grabbed the burning twigs, but it was "Imperial Caesar, dead and turned to clay," who really put out the fire by rolling on it wrapped in an eiderdown quilt. "Eh, ye ill callant," said Bella Bathgate. "Ye wee deevil," said Mrs. M'Cosh, "ye micht hev had us a' burned where we sat, and it Christmas too!" "What made you do it, sonny?" Jean asked.

"I suppose you know the reason very well, sir," said Morton; "I had the fortune to be the best marksman of the day, and remained, as is usual, to give some little entertainment to the other young men." "The deevil ye did, sir! And ye come to tell me that to my face? You pretend to gie entertainments, that canna come by a dinner except by sorning on a carefu' man like me?
'Aweel, he said, 'this suld be nae sic dooms desperate business surely; the lad's doing weel again that was hurt, and what signifies twa or three lead draps in his shouther? if ye had putten out his ee it would hae been another case. But eh, as I wuss auld Sherra Pleydell was to the fore here! Od, he was the man for sorting them, and the queerest rough-spoken deevil too that ever ye heard!
"Then come alongside and take a couple of our Savage Island boys. I can spare them." "No, no, captain. I'm not going tae delay ye when ye're bound to the eastward and I'm going the ither way. Ye'll find me here safe enough when ye come back in anither month. And I'll pick up the auld deevil and the wee bit lassie before mid-day."
"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?
I kenna whaur I 'm gaein' till. Eh, gien he wad but come oot an' shaw himsel'! O Lord! tak the deevil aff o' my puir back. O Father o' lichts! gar him tak the hump wi' him.
