It'll no be lang noo, i' the natur o' things, till I gang til him; and sure am I his first word 'll be aboot the laddie: I wud ill like to answer him, "Archie, I ken naething aboot him but what I cud weel wuss itherwise!" Hoo wud ye like to gie sic an answer yersel, mem? 'I'm surprised at a man of your sense, Barclay, thinking we shall know one another in heaven!
An' 'Eh, mother, I says out loud, 'wheer are ye, an' are ye thinkin' o' me, an' are ye in heaven? An' I geet agate o' cryin' an' axin' mysel wheer was heaven, an' was hoo raly theer. Well, at last I dozed off, an' I had a dream. I thought I saw my mother, in her cap an' apron, an' wi' her sleeves rolled up just same as hoo used to look when hoo was busy about th' house.
As Bevis walked into the copse along the green track, with the tall thistles and the fern on each side of him, he caught little bits here and there of what they were saying; it was always the same, who was going to be king, and what would Choo Hoo do? How long would it be before the emperor's army could be got together again to come sweeping back and exact a dire vengeance for its defeat?
As they rode into the street of Hoo, Mr. Ormskirk came out of a tavern, where he had been resting. After greeting the ladies and Sir Ralph, he said, "I had begun to think that you must have changed your minds, and that you were not coming hither to-day. I expected you three hours ago." "We have been viewing the marvels of an enchanted castle, Mr. Ormskirk," Dame Agatha said.
She sang it to the tune of ‘Cease, rude Boreas, blustering railer,’ and the words are affecting:— ‘Once I was a monarch’s daughter, And sat on a lady’s knee; But am now a nightly rover, Banished to the ivy tree. ‘Crying, Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, Hoo, hoo, my feet are cold! Pity me, for here you see me Persecuted, poor, and old.’”
"One at tap and one at bottom?" repeated Mr. Bishopriggs, in high disdain. "De'il a bit of it! Baith yer chairs as close together as chairs can be. Hech! hech! haven't I caught 'em, after goodness knows hoo many preleeminary knocks at the door, dining on their husbands' knees, and steemulating a man's appetite by feeding him at the fork's end like a child?
M. Lontane, the second in command of the gendarmes, was sent scouting, and reported to the governor not the one who originated the manifesto that the famine was the result of an organized revolt against the law and order of the land. Fishermen he had questioned, replied simply, "Aita faito, paru! Aita hoo, paru!" Which, holy blue! meant, "No scales, fish! No price, fish!" What to do?
Hoo are ye gettin' on yersel'? An' thon queer deil o' a lassie? I canna mak' onything o' her. 'I'm getting on fine, thank you, Walter answered rather shortly. 'Good-night to you, and thank you. Maybe Liz will write to you. 'Very likely. I'll let ye ken, onyway. If she writes to onybody it'll be to me, Teen answered, with a kind of quiet pride.
Now, travelling with a year-old baby and a five-year-old boy was quite troublesome, and we were very glad when the train had crossed the bleak Sierras and swept down into the lovely valley of the Sacramento. Arriving in San Francisco, we went to the old Occidental Hotel, and as we were going in to dinner, a card was handed to us. "Hoo Chack" was the name on the card. "That Chinaman!"
"Ay; he was i' the shadow o' Captain Ogilvy and I couldna see his face, but I thought it like his voice when he first spoke." "Hoo can he hae come to ken aboot the jewels?" "That's mair than I can tell." "I'll bury them," said Swankie, "an' then it'll puzzle onybody to tell whaur they are." "Ye'll please yoursell," said Spink.
