"Ma word" and Kildrummie pursued his way "it'll be a match, the dochter o' a puir Hielant laird, wi' naethin' but his half pay and a few pounds frae a fairm or twa. She's a clever ane; French songs, dancin', shootin', ridin', actin', there's nae deevilry that's beyond her. They say upbye that she's been a bonnie handfu' tae her father General though he be an' a' peety her man."
Old hands, who have fed at their leisure in callous indifference to all alarms, lounge about in great content, and a group of sheep farmers, having endeavoured in vain, after one tasting, to settle the merits of a new dip, take a glance in the "Hielant" quarter, and adjourn the conference once more to the refreshment-room.
I had already remarked that Andie was continually on the point of quarrelling with our three Macgregors, and now, sure enough, it was to come. "Thir will be no words to use to shentlemans," says Neil. "Shentlemans!" cries Andie. "Shentlemans, ye Hielant stot! If God would gie ye the grace to see yoursel' the way that ithers see ye, ye would throw your denner up."
The Aberdeen express leaves its passengers regarding the platform with pity and the guard of the last van slamming his door in triumph. The great man concentrates his force with a wave of his hand for the tour de force of the year, the despatch of the Hielant train.

"She was the story of Uistean More M'Gillie Phadrig and the Gavar Vore." "It is no sic a thing," cried Andie.

"You would find it a help to say Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Durham," and with a smile to Carmichael, still bareheaded and now redder than ever, Miss Carnegie went along the platform to see the Hielant train depart.
Only last year at the Trials he killed the young Cossack dog." A dull flash of passion swept across M'Adam's face. "Come here, Wullie!" he called. "Gin yon Hielant tyke attacks ye agin, ye're to be disqualified." He was unheeded. The battle for the Cup had begun little Pip leading the dance. On the opposite slope the babel had subsided now.
