So, there was ae night that my faither cam' hame frae Edinburgh, and, according to his custom, he had a drap in his e'e yet no sae meikle but that he could see a lad or twa hingin' about the house. He was very angry; and, 'Kirsty, said he, 'I dinna like thae youngsters to come about the house. "'I'm sure, sir, said she, 'I dinna encourage them.
"The only drap o' gentle bluid that's in your body was our great-grand-uncle's that was justified* at Dumbarton, and you set yourself up to say ye wad derogate frae your place to visit me! Hark thee, man I owe thee a day in harst I'll pay up your thousan pund Scots, plack and bawbee, gin ye'll be an honest fallow for anes, and just daiker up the gate wi' this Sassenach."
'Na! na! lad, but juist the wee drap whusky. It's nae that guid onyway, and it's a terrible price. Man, gin ye gang tae Henderson's in Buchanan Street, in Gleska, ye ken, ye'll get mair for three-an'-saxpence than ye wull at Slavin's for five dollars. An' it'll no' pit ye mad like yon stuff, but it gangs doon smooth an' saft-like.
Shame fa' ye, ye degenerate, mongrel race! for, if ye had ae drap o' the bluid o' the men in yer veins wha bled wi' Wallace and wi' Bruce, before the sun gaed doun, the flag o' bonny Scotland wad wave frae the castle towers."
Corse ye done right ter shoot the ornery dawg if he war atryin' ter eat yer pard up. Yuh see I didn't know ther hull facts in ther case, I didn't. Let up easy, now, bub; drap thet gun, won't yer?" he whined. "Don't do it, Thad!" shouted Maurice, dancing about on the deck of the flat in his excitement; "don't you trust him an inch, I tell you!
By the time I am dead they will be married good an' hard. I am almost gone as it is, the ole man he's liable to drap off any time yea, Lord, thy servant is ready to go but I do hope that the good master will let me live long enough to hold one of my Biggers grandboys on my knees." "All I've got to say," said the Bishop, "is jus' to watch yo' son-in-law.
"Goin' to stop all o' yer lyin', air ye," Isom went on, in the same tone, and Crump twitched as though struck suddenly from behind, "an' stealin' 'n' lay-wayin'?" "Look a-hyeh, boy " he began, roughly, and mumbling a threat, started on. "Uh, Eli!" Even then the easy voice fooled him again, and he turned. Isom had a big revolver on a line with his breast. "Drap yer gun!" he said, tremulously.
"Sure you've got no whisky?" said Si. "Sartin, gentlemen; sarch my wagon, if you don't take my word. I only wish I knowed whar thar wuz some whisky. I'd walk 20 miles in the rain t' git one little flask fur my ole woman and myself. I tell you, thar haint a drap t' be found in the hull Duck River Valley. 'Stilleries all burnt, I tell you."
Delighted delighted, as I was a saying, to be of the least use to yer. Take a caulker? Summat heavy, then? No? 'Tak' a drap o' kindness yet, for auld langsyne?" "You forget I was always a teetotaller." "Ay," with a look of unfeigned pity. "An' you're a going to lend us a hand? Oh, ah! perhaps you'd like to begin?
The boy, after making her wait some time in a room without any fire, brought her a pen and a little ink in a broken tea-cup, saying "Master begs you won't spirt it about, for he's got no more; and all our blacking's as good as gone." "Blacking?" repeated Cecilia. "Yes, Miss; when Master's shoes are blacked, we commonly gets a little drap of fresh ink."
