"Auch! and who else would yez expect it to be? Did yez take me for ould Neptune risin' hout of the say? Or did yez think I was a mare-maid? Gee mee a grip o' yer wee fists, ye bonny boys. Ole Bill warn't born to be drowned!" "But how did ye come, Bill? The tide's been rising ever since we left you." "Oh!" said Terence, "I see how it is; the bay isn't so deep after all: you've waded all the way."
As Peter took leave, he said: "Van Hout shall explain the reasons for our conduct to the Prince, in a letter as clear and convincing as only he can make it, and his excellency will finally approve of it. Rely upon that."
"Hout, ye daft gowks!" said Luckie Mucklebackit, "it will hae been some o' the riders at the Countess's burial." "What!" said Edie, "is the auld Countess buried the night at St. Ruth's?

Howbeit, money is a prolific mother: and here is eno' to buy me a gold chain against I am alderman of London. Hout, thus goes the world, the knight's baubles become the alderman's badges so much the better!"
Van der Werff grasped the hand the young nobleman extended, and answered, smiling: "No, my lord, no. You know my young wife. To-day we should have celebrated the first anniversary of our marriage, and amid all these anxieties I disgracefully forgot it." "Hard, hard," said Van Hout, softly.
