"Weel, weel, jist as ye wull it'll dae again but man, hoo'll ye square it wi' the wife when ye gang hame to the manse the nicht? We'll baith hae oor ain times, I'm dootin'. Here's a sweetie for ye; it's a peppermint lozenge, an' it's a graun' help. Guid-nicht."
This took Sam'l, who had only been courting Bell for a year or two, a little aback. "Hoo d'ye mean, Eppie?" he asked. "Maybe ye'll do't the nicht." "Na, there's nae hurry," said Sam'l. "Weel, we're a' coontin' on't, Sam'l." "Gae wa wi' ye." "What for no'?" "Gae wa wi' ye," said Sam'l again. "Bell's get an' fond o' ye, Sam'l." "Ay," said Sam'l. "But am dootin' ye're a fell billy wi' the lasses."
The Scotchman's eyes twinkled appreciatively. "I'm dootin' ye hae th' freight-bill from the office," he objected simply. "See here," replied Thorpe, "I've just got to get that boat. It's worth twenty dollars to me, and I'll square it with the captain. There's your twenty." The Scotchman deliberated, looking aslant at the ground and thoughtfully oiling a cylinder with a greasy rag.
"Unto death, a'm dootin, mother." "Na," said Marget, "unto life." Drumtochty was not a heartening place in sickness, and Marget, who did not think our thoughts, endured much consolation at her neighbour's hands. It is said that in cities visitors congratulate a patient on his good looks, and deluge his family with instances of recovery.
"Ay," said Sanders, reluctantly. "I'm dootin' I'm sair dootin' she's but a flichty, light-hearted crittur after a'." "I had aye my suspeecions o' 't," said Sanders. "Ye hae kent her langer than me," said Sam'l. "Yes," said Sanders, "but there's nae getting' at the heart o' women. Man Sam'l, they're desperate cunnin'." "I'm dootin' 't; I'm sair dootin' 't."
The row was a' ower in five meenits, when Mester Blair explen'd things; but if he hadna been wi's, I'm dootin' it wudda been a job. There was ane o' the great muckle dosent nowts o' bobbies cam' an' gowpit in my face, an' says, "D'ye think this ane's a woman?" I fand in ahent's for my umberell; but my chappie gaed his wa's gey quick, or I'd gien him the wecht o't across his nose.
"Ay," said Sanders reluctantly. "I'm dootin' I'm sair dootin' she's but a flichty, light-hearted crittur after a'." "I had ay my suspeecions o't," said Sanders. "Ye hae kent her langer than me," said Sam'l. "Yes," said Sanders, "but there's nae gettin' at the heart o' women. Man, Sam'l, they're desperate cunnin'." "I'm dootin't; I'm sair dootin't."
Ah me, I thought, how much has befallen Margaret and Margaret's father since that night! "Ay, I ken that; an' I'm no' regrettin' but I'm dootin' I was ower hard on the hymes. My speerit was aye ower fiery for an elder.
"'Ye maun ken her weel, my mother persisted, 'to be carryin' aboot her glove; I'm dootin' ye're gey fond o' her, Jamie? "'Na, said Jamie, 'am no. There's no naebody I care for like yersel, mother. "'Ye wouldna carry aboot onything o' mine, Jamie, my mother said; but he says, 'Oh, mother, I carry aboot yer face wi' me aye; an' sometimes at nicht I kind o' greet to think o' ye.
There's naething I like better; it's that refreshin', especially if you've somebody to crack till when you're at it. An', I'll swag, we didna weary for want o' crackin' that efternune. The Gairner's wife an' Mysie Meldrum are twa awfu' tagues for tongue; an' some o' the rest o's werena far to the hent, I'm dootin'.
