"The mair like it WAS the speerit o' the Lord, as the bairn himsel' was jaloosin," remarked Grannie, in a tone of confidence to which the laird was ready enough to yield; "an' whaur the speerit o' the Lord is, there's leeberty," she added, thinking less of the suitableness of the quotation, than of the aptness of words in it.
With a look in which doubt wrestled with horror, Blue Peter turned to Malcolm, and whispered with bated breath "I'm jaloosin' it canna be it's no a playhoose, this?"
