Weel, I ken that that's nae sae. I'd gie a' the world tae ha' my ain laddie back, no matter hoo sair he'd been hurt. And there's never a faither nor a mither but wad feel the same way aye, I'm sure o' that.
'Yo' cornd bring 'em ony nearer than they are. They're up yon, sithi, and so saying the child pointed to the evening sky. 'So you call the stars "parish candles," do you? smilingly inquired Mr. Penrose. 'I never heard them called by that name before. 'It's my faither co's 'em "parish candles," not me, said the child.

In his absence the best reader of the party was requested to undertake the duty. "My faither," said Willy, "wes aye conseedered the best aifter the schulemaister.

"Oh, everything," he said; "it's just fair shameless the way folk can bring themselves to speak openly of suchlike things!" "And where would you have been, my lad, if once on a day your faither had not telled your mither that she was bonny?"
"The lad has guid bluid in him. She was a Gilchrist o' Linwood on Nithsdale. What she saw in your faither to tak' him I dinna ken ony mair than I ken hoo it cam' to pass that I am the mistress o' Walter Skirving's hoose the day.
