"Dinna think me better than I am: a woman who had many sins tae fecht and needit many trials tae chasten her; but ye will be welcome at Whinny Knowe for yir ain sake and yir people's, an' gin it ever be in ma pooer tae serve ye, Miss Carnegie, in ony wy, it wull be ma joy." Twice as she came through the woods Kate stopped; once she bit her lip, once she dashed a tear from her eye.
"Faith na, a hantle o' braw folk hae leeved in James's Court in their time. I mind o' the Leddy Partan an' Mistress Girnigo, the king's jeweller's wife haein' a fair even-doon fecht a' aboot wha was to hae the pick o' the hooses on the stair. Winifred, ma lassie, come here an' sit doon!
On the latter account, there might apparently have been little reason for apprehension; for their meetings were very unlike those mentioned in the old song "Then up scho gate ane mekle rung, And the gudeman he made to the door; Quoth he, 'Dame, I sall hald my tung, For an we fecht, I'll get the woir." Her mode of conducting her rule was different toto cælo.
"I suppose, because I know nobody here. It seems so very hard to get teaching in London. But I beg your pardon." "I beg yours," said Miss Balquidder not without a certain dignity "for asking questions of a stranger. But I was once a stranger here myself, and had a 'sair fecht, as we say in Scotland, before I could earn even my daily bread.
"Well, Jean," said Will, sympathising with the struggle it evidently cost the girl to speak to him "don't hesitate to confide in me. What would you have me do?" "Only to keep him back frae the sodgers if ye can. He's such an awfu' man to fecht when he's roosed, that he's sure to kill some o' them if he's no' killed himsel'. An' it'll be ruin to us a' an' to the Mitchells too, if "

At first he thought they were chasing her. but they were following her as a leader. Her eyes sparkled as she waved them to the square with her arms. "The soldiers, the soldiers!" was the universal cry. "Who is that woman?" demanded Gavin, catching hold of a frightened old man. "Curse the Egyptian limmer," the man answered, "she's egging my laddie on to fecht."
The whole garret was soon in an uproar of vile accusation and shrill denial that spread from cell to cell. Auld Jock glowered down at Bobby with frightened eyes. In the winters he had lodged there he had lived unmolested only because he had managed to escape notice. Timid old country body that he was, he could not "fecht it oot" with the thieves and beggars and drunkards of the Cowgate.
'What for did ye fecht then? 'Nane o' your business. 'Weel, get up. Yer breeks'll get soakit sittin' there. The victor donned his jacket. 'Ma breeks is nane o' your business, neither. 'Ach, Wullie, dinna be a wean. Get up an' shake han's. I've got to gang. 'Gang then! Awa' an' boast to yer girl that ye hut a man on his nose behind his back 'Havers, man! What's wrang wi' ye?
"Ye see what it is to hae a bad name. I tell't ye there was mair than me mistaen aboot this affair. It's a most unlucky name yours." "Confound the name, sir!" said I. "It's like to be baith the ruin an' the death o' me. But what can I do? I canna get quit o't, an' maun just fecht oot wi't the best way I can."
