He never heerd freedom o' speech afore, that feller, I guess, unless it was somebody a jawin' of him, up hill and down dale; so sais I, 'Lead off, my old 'coon, and I will foller you, and no mistake, if you blaze the line well. "So he led me up stairs, opened a door, and 'nounced me; and there was Mr.

'Ye oucht to ken better nor stan' jawin' wi' young men. Fess mair o' the creamy cakes. 'Maybe Robert wad like a drappy o' parritch. 'Onything, Betty, said Robert. 'I'm at deith's door wi' hunger.
