I am cumming down in good company, and safe and I had troubles in gaun up whilk makes me blither of travelling wi' kend folk. My cousin, Mrs. Glass, has a braw house here, but a' thing is sae poisoned wi' snuff, that I am like to be scomfished whiles.
"And what for no the night, Hobbie," said Harry, "and I will ride wi' ye?" "My naig is tired," said Hobbie. "Ye may take mine, then," said John. "But I am a wee thing wearied mysell." "You wearied?" said Harry; "shame on ye! I have kend ye keep the saddle four-and-twenty hours thegither, and ne'er sic a word as weariness in your wame."

And as for how I came by it, Reuben it's weel come by, and honestly, as I said before And it's mair folk's secret than mine, or ye wad hae kend about it lang syne; and as for onything else, I am not free to answer mair questions about it, and ye maun just ask me nane."

"True, my lady," said Martin, hastily; and, as if to prevent the possibility of her retracting, he added, "I will step on and see Dame Elspeth I kend her husband weel, and have bought and sold with him, for as great a man as he was." Martin's tale was soon told, and met all acceptance from her companion in misfortune.
