If they're no' verra willing to tak' ye in, ye can tell them ye're a freend o' mine."
Once he was heard to say, looking wistfully at Mrs. Campbell, who had been telling him with many tears, of a "freend o' hers" who had just died down at the clachan, "Nurse, I wish I could greet like you."

He said he wished to see her ladyship and Louise together. "I hae heard," began Geordie, "that my worthy freend, Sir Marmaduke, is dead. He was a gude man, and may the Lord deal mercifully wi' him!

'Come, Monsieur, said Vandeloup, going to the door, 'let us be off to the office and see how much is due to my friend, and with a bow to Madame, he went out. 'A braw sort o' freend, muttered Archie, as he followed. 'Quite good enough for him, retorted Dr Gollipeck, who overheard him.
While sufficient daylight remained to show the dress and appearance of a gentleman, these cross interrogatories were usually put in the form of a case supposed, as, 'Ye'll hae been at the auld abbey o' Halycross, sir? there's mony English gentlemen gang to see that. Or, 'Your honour will become frae the house o' Pouderloupat? But when the voice of the querist alone was distinguishable, the response usually was, 'Where are ye coming frae at sic a time o' night as the like o' this? or, 'Ye'll no be o' this country, freend? The answers, when obtained, were neither very reconcilable to each other nor accurate in the information which they afforded.
I'm no freend to persecution, in ony shape. But, as to this chiel, I ken naething aboot him, but that he is a gude buttanist. Hout, your honor, to be sure I'll gi'e him a fair wage for his skeel and labor." Malcomson, who was what we have often met, a pedant gardener, saw, however, that the squire's mind was disturbed.
"Aweel, lassies, comes a letter to Bassanio; he reads it, and turns as pale as deeth." A Fishwife. "Gude help us." Christie. "Poorsha behooved to ken his grief, wha had a better reicht?

"Lad, it was fra puir Antonio, ye mind o' him, Lasses.
'Ay, ay, I used to think; 'gibe awa, gibe awa; but I hae a freend in my breist that'll end it some day. I likit to keep it to mysell. When it bit me it seemed to whisper I had a freend that nane o' them kenned o' a freend that would deliver me!

"Na', na', jest a freend, an auld acquaintance, but nane o' mine ain kin. I never felt sae sad in a' my life as I ha'e dune this day. I ha'e seen the clods piled on mony a heid, an' never felt the saut tear in my een. But puir Jeanie! puir lass! it was a sair sight to see them thrown down upon her."
