"I doubtna I doubtna he is a very worthy gentleman, and a sponsible, and wi' some o' my lights might do muckle business in Scotland Weel, sir, if these assets could be redeemed out o' the hands o' the Philistines, they are gude paper they are the right stuff when they are in the right hands, and that's yours, Mr. Owen.

Crombie, a very decent woman, is a friend of mine, and I hae stude her friend in this case, and brought her wi' credit into the court, and I doubtna that in due time she will win out o't wi' credit, win she or lose she.
