The distracted looks of poor Wallace on hearing this showed the powerful effect the news had upon him. "Keep yersel' quiet, noo," said Black in an encouraging tone, as he took the youth's arm and led him out of the house. "These are no' times to let our hearts rin awa wi' oor heids.
I dinna think, Liz, ye hae dune very weel for yersel' this while; ye'd better let me look efter ye. Twa heids are aye better than yin. 'Ye're gaun to be the boss, I see, said Liz, with a faint smile, and in her utter weariness she let her head fall back again and closed her eyes.
They hae taen 't intill their heids, for ae thing an that's what Dilse's Bess lays on at 'at 'cause they're fisher fowk, they hae a speecial mission to convert the warl'." "What foon' they that upo'?" asked Malcolm. "Ow, what the Saviour said to Peter an' the lave o' them 'at was fishers to come to him, an' he would mak them fishers o' men." "Ay, I see!
I like stories about folk gettin' their heids cut off, or there's nae wile beasts. I I like stories about black men gettin' ate up, an' white men killin' lions and tigers an' bears an' " Then, again, we have the passage from George Eliot's "Mill on the Floss": "Oh, dear! I wish they would not fight at your school, Tom. Didn't it hurt you?" "Hurt me?

It's o' nae use startin' on sae dark a nicht till she's up, for ye'll hae to cross some nasty grund.

"Ay, that's true, Rob!" she agreed. "But it is a sad business a' thegether. I wonder what has come owre the bit lassie. God knows where she may be?"
They ken as weel wi' the back o' their heids till ye, an' their noses fair stuffit wi' the cauld, whether ye hae been makin' a ca' or twa on the road hame on pay-nicht. I ken it's astonishin' to a single man, but ye had better tak' my word for't, it's the case.

But a corp we have none of us ever had to deal with, and I could set nae leemit to what Gillies micht consider proper in the affair.
'Weel, jist pit yer shune on, man, and rin up to Miss Naper's upo' the Squaur, and say to Miss Naper, wi' my compliments, that I wad be sair obleeged till her gin she wad len' me that fine receipt o' hers for crappit heids, and I'll sen' 't back safe the morn's mornin'. Rin, noo. This commission fell in admirably with Robert's plans, and he started at once.
