I aye hae to haud ye to the pint, Betty. The pint is, whether he has rabbits or no? 'Or guinea-pigs, suggested Betty. 'Weel. 'Or maybe a pup or twa. Or I kent a laddie ance 'at keepit a haill faimily o' kittlins. Or maybe he micht hae a bit lammie. There was an uncle o' min' ain 'Haud yer tongue, Betty! Ye hae ower muckle to say for a' the sense there's intil 't.
It's ane o' the preevileeges o' rank," said Malcolm. "It taks a faimily that hauds on throu' centeries in a hoose whaur things gether, to mak sic an unaccoontable getherin' o' buiks as that. It's a gran' sicht worth livin' to see."
"It turnt oot, or cam to be said,'at the Englishman 'at fowk believed to hae killt him, was far-awa' sib to the faimily, an' the twa had come thegither afore, somewhaur i' foreign pairts. But that's naither here nor there, nor what for he killed him, or wha's faut was that same: aboot a' that, naething was ever kent for certain.
"Eh, wuman? gien ever ane wana place in a faimily, her ain by foreordeenment o' the fatherly providence 'at luiks efter the faimilies o' men, Grizzie, ye're that wuman!"

"Ye see, Mr Doo, the Bible's lain sae lang there, that it's jist oor ain. And the lassie canna want it till she has a faimily to hae worship wi'. And syne she s' be welcome to tak' it." "Ye gang up the stair for the buik, or I'll gang mysel'." Bruce went and fetched it, with a bad grace enough, and handed over with it the last tattered remnants of his respectability into the hands of James Dow.
"Weel, I wadna wonner," said Malcolm, "gien Mrs Courthope wad like the haddie tu, an' maybe the lave o' them as weel. Hers is a muckle faimily to haud eatin. I'll jist gang to the Hoose first afore I mak ony mair offers frae my creel." "Ye'll lea' the troot wi' me," said Mrs Catanach imperiously. "Na; I canna du that. Ye maun see yersel' 'at I canna." The woman's face grew dark with anger.
