'Tak' it; tak' tent of it; ye'll need the siller. Four hunder piastres of Tunis, not countin' zeechins, and other sma' coin. 'Shall I send them to any one at Eyemouth? Tam almost laughed. 'Na, na; keep them and use them yersell, sir.
But she begin to talk to them so sof', and to pull ver' steady, and at last she get them shaping to the shore. She have the reins wound on her hands, and people on the shore, they watch.

Here is the hunder' louis I borrow of you yesterday. Take your revenge. The lad sit down slow, looking ver' strange at M'sieu' Doltaire.
"Five-and-twenty thousand pound sterlin'. Noo, I'm fra the North, and I'm not the like to fling money awa' rashly, but I'd gie six months' pay one hunder an' twenty pounds to know who flooded the engine-room of the Grotkau.
