On one of these occasions, when I was about four years old, and being the youngest of the family, I was taken into the company after the dinner was over, and held up by my sister Jane to sing a verse from a little song which my nurse Mary Peterkin had taught me, and Which ran thus: "I'll no bide till Saturday, But I'll awa' tile morn, An' follow Donald Hielandman, An' carry his poother-horn."
O oo, no; just a wee pickle siller, but nae man likit to lose onything. And folk said they highwayman wad skin the breeks aff a Hielandman. No that he was a Hielandman, though his name did begin wi' a "Mac." And so chattering, they had already won half-way across that lonely stretch of moor regarding which the drover had had misgivings.
I answer the calls of duty as Caliban does those of Prospero, "There's wood enough within." To be sure, I have not got the Clarendon. June 24. It was my father's own son, as John Hielandman said, who did little both yesterday and to-day I mean little in the way of literary work, for, as to positive work, I have been writing letters about Chancery business till I am sick of it.
"'What right have you to speak like that to me? do you know who I am? "He hed better been quiet, for he wes nae match for yon Hielandman. "Mactavish glowered at him for maybe a meenut till the puir cratur fell back intae his seat.
See ye neither meddle nor mak, nor gie nae offence wi' that clavering tongue o' yours, but keep a calm sough, and let ilka cock fight his ain battle." "Muckle needs to tell me that," said Andrew, contemptuously, "as if I had never seen a Hielandman before, and ken'd nae how to manage them.
Osbaldistone," said he, "contracted for the service of both your horse and you twa brutes at ance ye unconscionable rascal! but I'se look weel after you during this journey." "It will be nonsense fining me," said Andrew, doughtily, "that hasna a grey groat to pay a fine wi' it's ill taking the breeks aff a Hielandman."
The Judge checked this indecency, and Evan, looking sternly around, when the murmur abated, 'If the Saxon gentlemen are laughing, he said, 'because a poor man, such as me, thinks my life, or the life of six of my degree, is worth that of Vich Ian Vohr, it's like enough they may be very right; but if they laugh because they think I would not keep my word, and come back to redeem him, I can tell them they ken neither the heart of a Hielandman, nor the honour of a gentleman.

"I didn't kiss anybody but Louis Satanette," maintained Eva, "and I didn't really want to kiss him" "Never mind," said Adam. "Don't trouble your butterfly soul about it." And he turned away and walked toward the tent. "I'll not love you if you say such awful things to me," she flashed after him. "Ye can't take the breeks off a Hielandman," he replied, facing about, "Ye never loved me.
"I'll have him keepit, though," returned my uncle. "I never had naething to do with onything morally wrong; and I'm no' gaun to begin to pleasure a wild Hielandman." "Ye're unco scrupulous," sneered Alan. "I'm a man o' principle," said Ebenezer simply; "and if I have to pay for it, I'll have to pay for it.
