"What's that meowlin?" asked Bruce the next morning, the moment he rose from the genuflexion of morning prayers. "It's my kittlin'," answered Annie. "I'll lat ye see't." "We hae ower mony mou's i' the hoose already," said Bruce, as she returned with the little peering baby-animal in her arms. "We hae nae room for mair.
"As for no' lo'ein' him, mither me that canna luik at a blin' kittlin' ohn lo'ed it! lo, mither! God made me sae, an didna mean me no' to lo'e An'rew!" "Andrew!" she repeated, as if the word meant the perfection of earth's worthiest rendering the idea of appropriation too absurd. Silence followed, but the mother was brooding. "Ye maun bethink ye, lass, hoo far he's abune ye!" she said at length.
That made him warse nor ever. Owd Thwittler whisper'd to him, 'Thire, Dick; thae's shapt that nicely! Give it another twirl, owd bird!

"Mem, mem," she gasped at length, "tak' care o' my kittlin'. They want to droon't. It's my ain.
Ye're dreivin' like a roarin' lion and puttin' like a puir kittlin'." But the men whose occupations are of the philosophical and peaceful kind are not the only ones who may be fairly likened to Andrew's "puir kittlin'" when there are short putts to be holed.
"Oh ay!" Mungo acquiesced, "but that doesna' maitter; the puir cratur is as guid as scragged. The tow's aboot his thrapple and kittlin' him already, I'll warrant, for his name's Stewart, and in this place I would sooner be ca'd Beelzebub; I'd hae a better chance o' my life if I found mysel' in trouble wi' a Campbell jury to try me."
Aw'm as wake as a kittlin' this minute."

Aw feel better neaw, aw do for sure.
