For seven years have I now lived on this island, never having seen or h'ard Christian face or voice; and at the end of that time, feeling my health feail, and being apprehensive lest any of my fellow-countrymen should hereafter suffer the same fate as I have done, I began to teach this parrot his message, a few words at a time, impressing it duly and fully on his memory.

Malcolm was wrong there, for he was singing out loud and clear. "That was but a kin' o' an unknown tongue atween Him an' me an' no anither."

"I am only airing my English on you; I have made up my mind to learn to speak in London as London people do, and so, even to you, in the meantime only, I am going to speak as good English as I can.
"Wad it be revenge, than, think ye?" "It micht be: maist o' the stories o' that kin' en' wi' bringin' the murderer an' justice acquant.

Neither was there any chair within reach, and he was not fond of standing. Clearly his enemy had the advantage.
