An' gien I dinna like the schuilmaisterin', I can jist tak to the wark again, whilk I cudna dee sae weel gien I had tried the preachin': fowk wad ca' me a stickit minister! Or maybe they'll gie me the sheep to luik efter upo' Glashgar, whan they're ower muckle for my father, an' that wad weel content me. Only I wad hae to bigg a bit mair to the hoosie, to haud my buiks: I maun hae buiks.

"I wish I were going with you." "I wish you all were," said Alan. "We'll likely be having more traveling than we want," said Jean, "when we have to give up the wee bit hoosie and go out and walk the world."
"Wheest, man! juist here's where we come to the snuff, for, look ye, every time I bought a paper o' snuff I minded me that ma brither Alan, not takkin' it himself, was so much siller tae the gude an' oh, man! it used tae grieve me sair till, one day, I lighted on this bit hoosie."
