In a room which had lately been all noise, not a sound was now to be heard but the narrator's voice. "Aweel, lasses, here are the three wee kists set, the lads are to chuse the ane that chuses reicht is to get Porsha, an' the lave to get the bag, and dee baitchelars Flucker Johnstone, you that's sae clever are ye for gowd, or siller, or leed?" 1st Fishwife.
