Instead of returning a sound, advanced Radical like Emerson T. Herdman, a man who pays them thirty or forty thousand a year, and who spends all his money in their midst, the fules go and vote for a thing like Arthur O'Connor, who never was here but once, and who never did them the compliment of issuing an address. When Mr. Herdman came to Stranorlar the people stoned him and his friends.
Did you ever hear o' sic a man? Dauvid Kenawee says Sandy's a kind o' a sinnyquanon; an' it's my opeenyin he's no' very far wrang, whatever that may mean. As I was sayin', there's nae fules like auld fules. I put oot twa-three bits o' things on the green on Setarday forenune, an' I forgot a' aboot them till efter the shop was shut. It wud be nearhand twal o'clock when I ran doon for them.
'And you, ye doil'd dotard, replied his gentle helpmate, her wrath, which had hitherto wandered abroad over the whole assembly, being at once and violently impelled into its natural channel, 'YE stand there hammering dog-heads for fules that will never snap them at a Highlandman, instead of earning bread for your family and shoeing this winsome young gentleman's horse that's just come frae the north!
"Yon's a gay fule," he said to Janet, when she answered his call to hitch the log farther into the cabin. "He was wanting to marry on you." "Ay?" she indifferently returned, adding, without change of feature, "There's no lack o' fules round here." Meanwhile Timmins was making his way through the woods to his own place.
"Earth to earth, ashes to ashes," he said in his deepest and most solemn tone. The phenomenal absurdity of a joke from the solemn Scotchman again tickled the uncertain temperament of the crowd into boisterous laughter. "Men, listen tae me!" cried McNish. "Ye mad a bad mistake the nicht. In fact, ye're a lot of fules.
"The wisest men of all ages preached the same," said I, "only they all disagreed as to how happiness was to be gained." "More fules they!" said the Ancient. "Eh?" I exclaimed, sitting up. "More fules they!" repeated the old man with a solemn nod. "Why, then, do you know how true happiness may be found? "To be sure I du, Peter." "How?"
I am sorry that my learned friends at the bar have not been able to relieve me of my scruples." "Stupid fules," muttered Will; "but I'll relieve ye, my Lord Durie. The Traquair case being the last called that day, the court broke up, and the judges, followed still by the eye of Christie's Will, retired into the robing-room to take off their wigs and gowns.
Du fwhat we cud, we cud not make some av th' silly fules kape back clear av th' danger-zone wimmin an' all, bedad! "By and by, a section av the wall tumbles an' quite a bunch av people got badly hurt Nobby amongst thim. We dhragged thim out as quick as we cud an' laid them forninst th' wall av a buildin' near-by awaithin' some stretcher-bearers.
Were the like o' me ever to change a note, wha the deil d'ye think wad be sic fules as to gie me charity after that? it wad flee through the country like wildfire, that auld Edie suld hae done siccan a like thing, and then, I'se warrant, I might grane my heart out or onybody wad gie me either a bane or a bodle." "Is there nothing, then, that I can do for you?"
"An' now, Peter," said the old man, extracting a pinch of snuff, "now for the noos 'bout Black Jarge, it be." "What of him, Ancient?" The old man shook his head. "It took eight on 'em to du it, Peter, an' now four on 'em's a-layin' in their beds, an' four on 'em's 'obblin' on crutches an' all over a couple o' rabbits though theer be some fules as says they was pa'tridges!" "Why what do you mean?"
