'Save us a'! Ye're no wise, minister. There's nae black man in a Ba'weary. But she didnae speak plain, ye maun understand; but yam-yammered, like a powney wi' the bit in its moo. 'Weel, says he, 'Janet, if there was nae black man, I have spoken with the Accuser of the Brethren. And he sat down like ane wi' a fever, an' his teeth chittered in his heid.
But aince they're too old to be seeking joes, they a' set up to be apotecaries. Why? What do I ken? They'll be just the way God made them, I suppose. But I think a man would be a gomeral that didnae give his attention to the same." And here, the luckie coming back, he turned from me as if with impatience to renew their former conversation.

And when they got there they found they had had the pleasure of a run, which is aye good for a Campbell. I'm thinking it was a judgment on the clan that the brig went down in the lump and didnae break. But it was a very unlucky thing for you, that same; for if any wreck had come ashore they would have hunted high and low, and would soon have found ye."
"It would be strange if I didnae," he returned, "for he was my born brother; and little as ye seem to like either me or my house, or my good parritch, I'm your born uncle, Davie, my man, and you my born nephew. So give us the letter, and sit down and fill your kyte." If I had been some years younger, what with shame, weariness, and disappointment, I believe I had burst into tears.
As for Janet she cam an' she gaed; if she didnae speak muckle afore, it was reason she should speak less then; she meddled naebody; but she was an eldritch thing to see, an' nane wad hae mistrysted wi' her for Ba'weary glebe.
If I didnae feel just sure of the lassie, and that she was awful pleased and chief with Alan, I would think there was some kind of hocus-pocus about yon." "And is she so pleased with ye, then, Alan?" I asked. "She thinks a heap of me," says he. "And I'm no like you: I'm one that can tell. That she does she thinks a heap of Alan. And troth!
That must be my man, I think: Hoseason, of the brig Covenant. Would you set your trust on him?" "He didnae behave very well to you and Alan," said Mr. Stewart; "but my mind of the man in general is rather otherwise. If he had taken Alan on board his ship on an agreement, it's my notion he would have proved a just dealer. How say ye, Rob?"
It's a strange thing that the saul of man should be that thirled into his perishable body; but the minister saw that, an' his heart didnae break. She didnae stand there lang; she began to move again an' cam' slowly towards Mr. Soulis whaur he stood under the saughs. A' the life o' his body, a' the strength o' his speerit, were glowerin' frae his een.
I didnae come here to stand and hand a candle; it's her and me that are to crack." I suppose she stayed ten minutes in the house, but when she came forth I observed two things that her eyes were reddened, and a silver brooch was gone out of her bosom. This very much affected me. "I never saw you so well adorned," said I.
