"Keep's a', wumman, what are ye stravagin' about there for out o' a body's sicht? a' near set aff withoot ye." Then Peter recognised her face, and his manner softened of a sudden.
Keep then said that he had two or three hundred dollars on hand which he must dispose of in some way or other, and he asked his son what he should do with it.

"Losh keep's a', Leeby; ye say that? They maun hae haen a quarrel." "I'm thinkin' we'll hae Mr. Skinner i' the poopit the morn after a'." "It may be, it may be.
