Edies Ochiltrees, who it is you put off your gibes and your jests upon?" "Brawly, Mr. Dusterdeevil brawly do I ken ye, and has done mony a day; but there's nae jesting in the case, for I am wearying to see ae our treasures; we should hae had baith ends o' the pockmanky filled by this time I hope it's bowk eneugh to haud a' the gear?"

"The deil take them that made them!" was his first ejaculation, apostrophizing his mess of porridge. "They're gude parritch eneugh," said Mrs Wilson, "if ye wad but take time to sup them.
