"Laird, let me tell you there will be nae special heaven for the Gael. They that want to go to heaven by themsel's arena likely to win there at a'. You may as well learn to live with ither folk here; you'll hae to do it to a' eternity." "If I get to heaven, Dominie Tallisker, I'll hae special graces for the place. I'm no going to put mysel' in a blazing passion for you to-night.
"Lat me luik at it," said Alec, eagerly. "Na, ye wadna mak' either rhyme or rizzon o' 't as it stan's. I'll read it to ye." "Come and sit doon, than, on the ither side o' the dyke." A dyke in Scotland is an earthen fence�-to my prejudiced mind, the ideal of fences; because, for one thing, it never keeps anybody out.
Meg Kissock waited till she was at the door, and then, just as she was making her silent exit, she said: "Ye'll tak' as guid care o't as the ither yin ye fand. Ye can pit them baith thegither." Winsome took a step towards her as if with some purpose of indignant chastisement. But the red head and twinkling eyes of mischief vanished, and Winsome stood with the paper in her hand.
"It's o' sma importance to me," he resumed, "whether yer leddyship comply wi' my request or no; for, indeed, though politeness made me ca' it a favour conferred upon me, the favour is a' the ither way.
"Ane that's weel worth ony twa o' us, Monkbarns; it's the young stranger lad they ca' Lovel and he's behaved this blessed night as if he had three lives to rely on, and was willing to waste them a' rather than endanger ither folk's.
"Isn't your own room somewhere hereabouts?" asked the girl sharply. "We'll jist gang till ae ither queer place," observed Malcolm, pretending not to have heard her, "and gien the rufe be a' richt there, I s' no bather my heid mair aboot it till the mornin'. It's but a feow steps farther, an' syne a bit stair." A fit of her not unusual obstinacy had however seized Lady Florimel.
"Would you know the tall man again if you were to see him?" inquired the coroner. "Na, for ye ken I could na see a feature o' his face." "Would you know the girl again?" "Na. I could na see the lass ony mair than the gallant." "Nor the third man?" "Na, nor the ither ane." "Did you hear any name or any place spoken of between the parties?" "Na, na name, na pleece. I hae tuld your honor all I heerd.
"We had Mr Greenleaf here awhile the ither night," she continued, as Graeme disappeared. "A nice, pleasant spoken gentleman he is, an no' ae bit o' a Yankee." The Judge opened his eyes. It was rather an equivocal compliment, considering the person to whom she spoke. But he was not one of the kind to take offence, as Janet justly said.
