Wordsworth tells the world, in ane of his prefaces, that he is a water-drinker and its weel seen on him. There was a sair want of speerit through the haill o' yon lang "Excursion."
I aye hae to haud ye to the pint, Betty. The pint is, whether he has rabbits or no? 'Or guinea-pigs, suggested Betty. 'Weel. 'Or maybe a pup or twa. Or I kent a laddie ance 'at keepit a haill faimily o' kittlins. Or maybe he micht hae a bit lammie. There was an uncle o' min' ain 'Haud yer tongue, Betty! Ye hae ower muckle to say for a' the sense there's intil 't.
And the thought that ye hae intervened to spare the puir thing's life will be sweeter in that hour, come when it may, than if a word of your mouth could hang the haill Porteous mob at the tail of ae tow." Jeanie Deans is the strongest woman in the gallery of Scott, and an embodiment of all that is sober, and strong, and conscientious, and passionate in Scotch nature.
"And I didna just a'thegither walk the haill way neither, for I had whiles the cast of a cart; and I had the cast of a horse from Ferrybridge and divers other easements," said Jeanie, cutting short her story, for she observed the Duke made the sign he had fixed upon.
He drank 'maist a' thing there was, Gibbie lan's an' lordship, till there was hardly an accre left upo' haill Daurside to come to my father 'maist naething but a wheen sma' hooses.
Here, you Liddesdale Dandie Charlie's Hope what do they call you? The farmer turned, infinitely gratified even by this sort of notice; for in his heart, next to his own landlord, he honoured a lawyer in high practice. 'So you will not be advised against trying that question about your marches? 'No, no, sir; naebody likes to lose their right, and to be laughed at down the haill water.
A man 'at can hae a' the fish i' the haill ocean for the takin' o' them, to be sic a sneck drawin' contemptible wratch as tak yer lordship's bonny hen craturs frae their chuckies no to mention the sin o't! it's past an honest man's denyin', my lord. An' Maister MacPherson kens better, for luik at him lauchin' in 's ain sleeve."
But Jeanie held fast her integrity, though beset with temptations, which perhaps the Laird of Dumbiedikes did not greatly err in supposing were those most affecting to her sex. "It canna be, Laird I have said it and I canna break my word till him, if ye wad gie me the haill barony of Dalkeith, and Lugton into the bargain."
I wad be aye i' the libbrary, I think. But," he went on, glancing involuntarily at the dainty little foot that peered from under her dress, "yer leddyship's sae licht fittit, ye'll be ower the haill dwallin', like a wee bird in a muckle cage. Whan I want room, I like it wantin' wa's." Once more he was on the point of going, but once more a word detained him. "Do you ever read poetry?"
There's Border-warrants too in the south country, unco rash uncanny things; I was taen up on ane at Saint James's Fair, and keepit in the auld kirk at Kelso the haill day and night; and a cauld goustie place it was, I'se assure ye. But whatna wife's this, wi' her creel on her back? It's puir Maggie hersell, I'm thinking." It was so.
