There was nae ither alternative that I could see; and I was just gaun to apply for labouring wark when we got a letter frae Andrew, enclosing a fifty-pound bank-note. Mony a tear did Jeannie and me shed ower that letter.
"I'll gie you dog's wages, ye rascal, if ye dinna attend to what I say t'ye We are gaun into the Hielands a bit" "I judged as muckle," said Andrew. "Haud your peace, ye knave, and hear what I have to say till ye We are gaun a bit into the Hielands" "Ye tauld me sae already," replied the incorrigible Andrew. "I'll break your head," said the Bailie, rising in wrath, "if ye dinna haud your tongue."
The driver, understanding what was going on at Derncleugh, left his horses to the care of a blackguard boy, confiding, it is to be supposed, rather in the years and discretion of the cattle than in those of their keeper, and set off full speed to see, as he expressed himself, 'whaten a sort o' fun was gaun on. He arrived just as the group of tenants and peasants, whose numbers increased every moment, satiated with gazing upon the rugged features of Hatteraick, had turned their attention towards Bertram.
The folk would stand in their doors to look at me, man they would that they would cry ben to each other to come oot and see Gourlay's wife gaun slinkin' doon the brae. Doon the brae it would be," she repeated, "doon the brae it would be" and her mind drifted away on the sorrowful future which her fear made so vivid and real.

It ought to have been done years ago, but I never kent till the nicht, and I'm gaun to dae it the noo," and the tones of his voice indicated that he meant what he said. "Oh!

"I'm gaun to Monkbarns wi' a letter." "Stirra, this is no the road to Monkbarns." But Davie could oinly answer the expostulation with sighs and tears. Old Edie was easily moved to compassion where childhood was in the case. "I wasna gaun that gate," he thought, "but it's the best o' my way o' life that I canna be weel out o' my road.
Now, if he was taking it up in this way, he wad set up the tother's birse, and maybe do mair ill nor gude he's done that twice or thrice about thae mine-warks; ye wad thought Sir Arthur had a pleasure in gaun on wi' them the deeper, the mair he was warned against it by Monkbarns."
