Gourlay, says he, 'there's not a thing in your house that a man in your poseetion can afford to be without, and ye needn't expect the best house in Barbie for an oald song! And Gourlay was pacified at once! It appeared frae their crack, however, that Gibson has diddled him tremendous.

"We couldna very weel. It's to be a three-cornered fight, an' Robert Duncan, brother to Tammas, has it sure." "'Twad be a good one on McCakeron," Neil mused. "To talk up Dunlop, who doesna care a cent for the eldership, an' then spring the Apoos-tate on him." "'Twould be bitter on 'Twenty-One," the cap'en added.

"What now?" said the Guernsey-man, when the Captain had returned to them. "He says, Monsieur, that he's very happy to have been of any service to us."
