How he had stood things! How he had borne, in that odd, unimpressive way, insolence and arrogance for which she ought to have been beaten and blackballed by decent society! She could scarcely bear it. "Oh! to think it should have been you," she wept, "just you who understood!" "Well," he answered speculatively, "I mightn't have understood as well if it hadn't been for Ann. By jings!
'Maybe, Macgregor suggested, 'she didna like to tell ye the truth. Christina smiled gently, saying, 'Ye've a lot to learn aboot us females, Mac. 'By Jings, ye're richt there! Willie exploded, and immediately subsided in confusion. 'Ay, she agreed placidly; 'he's no a connoisseur like you, Wullie. Talkin' o' females, hoo's yer aunt keepin'?
I'd have lied myself blue fust. However, Cornelius was satisfied. "'That so? he grunts. 'By jings! I'm goin' to find him. "Off he went, and the next thing I knew the Edwards door opened, and I heard somebody callin' my name. I went acrost, walkin' in a kind of daze, and there, in the doorway, with the lamp shinin' on 'em, was Cap'n Sol and Olive.
"By jings, jest say that again. That ought to settle it right now, hah? Stay with 'em till they git through, and you'll find us waitin' for you when you git back." I nodded, waved my hand at him and galloped away, and from a hill-top I looked back and saw him still standing there in the road. Parker caught up with me and we in turn overtook a man whom I did not care to encounter Etheredge.
Weel, I had a late pass that nicht, an' I thocht I wud miss seein' ma aunt's ugly for wance though it meant missin' a guid meal forbye. So when I got to Glesca I picked up thon fat girl we used to fling rubbish at when we was young. An', by Jings, she was pleased an' prood!
Jeff Thatcher immediately went forward, to be familiar with the great man and be envied by the school. It would have been music to his soul to hear the whisperings: "Look at him, Jim!

You ain't the only person that's ben snaked down wrongfully out'n a high place." "Alas!" "No, you ain't the only person that's had a secret of his birth." And, by jings, HE begins to cry. "Hold! What do you mean?"
That woman wanted a baby, too, and I bet she would of been good to it, fur she was awful good to animals. She had been big from a little girl, and never got no sympathy when sick, nor nothing, and even whilst she played with dolls as a kid she knowed she looked ridiculous, and was laughed at. And by jings! they was the funniest thing come to light before we left that crowd.
"Devilish thing don't work well," he said. "A padlock is generally the best lock or the worst; you never can tell which. If I could jest git a drap of the grease into the key-hole I'd soon fix it.
