"Have you any kin living?" "I hae a brother he minds me little." "Promoter, I never heard the name before." "It is a Fife name. The Promoters dinna wander far. If my fayther hadna been drowned, I should hae stayed wi' my ain folk." "But you are glad to have seen more of the world. You would not like to go back to Fife, now?"

Well, sir, she wouldn't let no one come nigh 'er, and just as we was thinkin' as 'ow we'd 'ave to forcible-feed 'er, in comes Mister Malcolm. She 'ears 'im, but don't make no sign, and just as 'e comes up close she lets fling 'er 'eels at 'is 'ead.

But I cannot rightly tell. It's my name, howsever, and you must call me nothing else." "Well, then, Old Crow," said Jacob, "I cannot tell just what I'm going to do.

"Begorrah!" he whispered to me. "Sure, it bates Bannagher, an's a'most as good as what Oi've heerd tell of Donnybrook Fair, in the ould toimes, from me fayther!"
"Mebbe I spoke a mite too free about your fayther, Austen," he said; "you and him seem kind of different." "The Judge and I understand each other," answered Austen. He had got as far as the door, when he stopped, swung on his heel, and came back to the bedside. "It's my duty to tell you, Zeb, that in order to hush this thing up they may offer you more than you can get from a jury.
"Fwhativer became uv yer fayther, lad?" he questioned after a moment. "He died," said Tom simply. "It was after we got put out of Barrel Alley and after I got to be a scout. Mr. Ellsworth said maybe it was better sort of " Pete nodded. "An' yer bruther?" "Oh, he went away long before that even before my mother died.
