"Deil that they were back at their German kale-yard then, as my neighbour MacCroskie ca's it," said Mrs. Howden, "an that's the way they're gaun to guide us!" "They say for certain," said Miss Damahoy, "that King George flang his periwig in the fire when he heard o' the Porteous mob." "He has done that, they say," replied Saddletree, "for less thing."

"Wait till you hear what Miss Silsby's gotta say!" said one dryad, and another added: "Woisse than that is this: you know who that was you flang out at so regardless?" "I don't know, and I don't care," sobbed Kedzie. "You would care if you was wise to who His Nibs was!" "Who was it?" Kedzie gasped. "Jim Dyckman no less!
