I thocht yon twa kimmers that sang "The Banks an' Braes o' Bonnie Boon" did awfu' pritty. Raley, my hert was i' my moo twa-three times when they were at the bitties whaur they sang laich, juist like the sooch-soochin' o' the hairst wind i' the forenicht amon' the stocks.
'Eh! that his puir mother, that died in grief and in doubt about him, had but lived to see this day! exclaimed some female voices. 'But we'll help him to his ain, kimmers, cried others; 'and before Glossin sail keep the Place of Ellangowan we'll howk him out o't wi' our nails!

There was much hand-shaking, and loud talking, and then Janet Caird said with a bustling authoritative air, "Put on the kettle, Maggie, a cup o' tea when kimmers meet, mak's talk better;" and Maggie, dumbly resentful at the order, obeyed it.
