Managed the case themselves, like two patriotic parties as they were, with a degree of forensic acuteness, inspired by the consciousness of a noble cause Ahem! You remember, friend M.? Grand triumphs those, eh?" "Ay," said Sandy, "I mind them unco weel they cost me a' my few savings, mair by token; an' mony a braw fallow paid for ither folks' sins that tide.
At last the front door, which I had ta'en care to shut after me, opened, and I look't to see wha it could be, thinking that, nae doubt, it was Mr. Weft, or his apprentice. It was neither the ane nor the ither, but a strong middle-aged, red-faced Heelandman, wi' specks on, and wi' a kilt and a bannet, by a' the world like my monkey's. Now, what think ye Nosey was about a' this time?
I heard Bawbie sayin' in her bed the ither mornin'. "Ay, I'm here," says I. "What are ye yalp-yalpin' at? What d'ye want? I had throo to the cellar to rin for tatties to Mistress Hasties. What was ye wantin'?" "See, look! Ye micht pet the pot on the fire there, an' warm that drappie pottit-hoach brue; an' ye'll tak' it alang to Mary Emslie," said Bawbie.

"For," she said, "she's a fine douce lass, and speyks to ye as gin ye war ither fowk, and no as gin she kent a'thing, and cam to tell ye the muckle half o' 't." I wonder how much her friends understood of what she read to them?
"What wud ye sae, Jamie," Hillocks suggested, "but it micht be some o' thae Muirtown doctors? they were awfu' chief wi' MacLure." "It's nae Muirtown doctors," cried Jamie, in great exultation, "nor ony ither doctors. A' ken thae horses, and wha's ahind them. Quick, man, Hillocks, stop the fouk, and tell Drumsheugh tae come oot, for Lord Kilspindie hes come up frae Muirtown Castle."
I asked him what was the trouble, though indeed that was clear enough. 'The trouble is that I'm no sober. Last nicht my dochter Merran was waddit, and they danced till fower in the byre. Me and some ither chiels sat down to the drinkin', and here I am. Peety that I ever lookit on the wine when it was red! I agreed with him about bed. 'It's easy speakin', he moaned.
"I thank ye, Sam'l," said Bell, feeling an unwonted elation as she gazed at the two paper bags in her lap. "Ye're ower extravegint, Sam'l," Lisbeth said. "Not at all," said Sam'l; "not at all. But I widna advise ye to eat thae ither anes, Bell they're second quality." Bell drew back a step from Sam'l. "How do ye kin?" asked the farmer shortly, for he liked Sanders.
'Dinna leemit the Almichty, wuman and that i' the verra moment whan he's been to hiz I wunna say mair gracious nor ord'nar, for that cudna be but whan he's latten us see a bit plainer nor common that he is gracious!

Colin ought to have taken his father's ready response to his request as an overture of reconciliation. For a moment he was provoked with both of them. "You are a dour lot, you Crawfords; ane o' you is prouder than the ither." "The Crawfords are as God made them, dominie." "And some o' them a little warse." Yet, after all, it was Colin Tallisker was really angry at.
