"Thae loons are jist growin' perfect deevils," said Charlie Chapman, the wool-carder, as he bolted into his own shop, with the remains of a snowball melting down the back of his neck. "We maun hae anither constable to haud them in order." So there was some little ground for the wool-carder's remark. How much a second constable would have availed, however, is doubtful.
"Wha kens?" answered he;" they're queer deevils; maybe I might just have 'scaped ae gang to' meet the other. And yet I'll no say that neither; for if that randy wife was coming to Charlies-hope, she should have a pint bottle o' brandy and a pound o' tobacco to wear her through the winter.

Here he was interrupted by something which fell with a heavy clash on the street before us "Gude guide us what's this mair o't? Mattie, haud up the lantern Conscience if it isna the keys!

But wilder yet arose the sound of wailing, as the Scotch girl, with the child in her arms, broke through the crowd and cast herself down beside her dead mistress, crying: "Oh! and is it gone ye are, my bonny leddy? Dead and gone fra us, a' sae suddenly! Oh, bairnie! look down on your puir mither, wham they have murthered the born deevils."
'The deevils have entered into the spirit of my instructions, he said. 'In a wee bit the place will be like Falkirk Tryst for din. "Punctually at twelve there came a great hullabaloo up the road, the beating of drums and the yelling of natives, and presently the procession hove in sight.
