I had a pretty good idea where to find Mr M'Swat, as he had lately purchased a pair of stud rams, and was in the habit of admiring them for a couple of hours every evening. I went to where they usually grazed, and there, as I expected, found Mr M'Swat, pipe in mouth, with glistening eyes, surveying his darlings. "Mr M'Swat, I have come to beg your pardon." "That's all right, me gu-r-r-r-l.
I was alone in the schoolroom next afternoon when Mr M'Swat sidled in, and after stuttering and hawing a little, delivered himself of: "I want to tell ye that I don't hold with a gu-r-r-r-l going out of nights for to meet young men: if ye want to do any coortin' yuz can do it inside, if it's a decent young man.

He is poor, but has good prospects. You must promise me not to tell anyone, as I wish it kept a secret, and only mention it to you so that you need not be disturbed about Peter." He assured me that he would keep the secret, and I knew I could rely on his word. He was greatly perturbed that my intended was poor. "Never ye marry a man widout a bit er prawperty, me gu-r-r-r-l.
