Aye, aye, it's a heartless world, laddie!" He kissed the old woman, and then she tried to coax him to eat. "Come, come, a wee bittie, just a wee bittie. We must eat our supper anyway." "God seems dead and heaven a long way off!" he murmured. "And a drap o' whisky will do no harm a wee drappie." "There's only one thing clear God sees I'm unfit for the work, so he has taken it away from me."

"My name is Lieutenant Smith, of His Majesty's navy, and I have just arrived from England." "I beg your pardon, Mr. Smith; I took ye for well, I don't know what. Take a wee drappie?
