"Na, na, Ringan," cried his friends, "haud sae, man, haud sae. Ye'll be clean dung-ower; ye're ower sair spent to fecht thenow." But this only goaded Ringan the more. "As the Lord liveth, he shall lick the dust. Hinder me not, friends, withstand me not; I maun do battle with this Philistine." And with that, he rushed into the street, broadsword in hand. "Diaoul!
'O, if he's a follower of yours he must be looked to; I'll send Callum to you; but diaoul! ceade millia mottigheart, continued the impatient Chieftain, 'what made an old soldier like Bradwardine send dying men here to cumber us?

Diaoul! He entered the room with all the marks of a man agitated by a towering passion; and there were few upon whose features rage produced a more violent effect. The veins of his forehead swelled when he was in such agitation; his nostril became dilated; his cheek and eye inflamed; and his look that of a demoniac.
In the lull he flung a wan smile at Cathbarr, who stood leaning on his ax, his mail-shirt shredded and bloody. "Are you getting your fill of battle, brother?"

"You hate them! an' who the ould diaoul cares whether you do or not? I allow them this house to meet in, bekaise it's large and far from the polis.
