"Was you ever at the Spittal, Mr. Dishart?" he asked. "Lord Rintoul's house at the top of Glen Quharity? No." "Hae you ever looked on a lord?" "No." "Or on an auld lord's young leddyship? I have." "What is she?" "You surely ken that Rintoul's auld, and is to be married on a young leddyship. She's no' a leddyship yet, but they're to be married soon, so I may say I've seen a leddyship.
'We'll be ruined intirely if we stop till she's cured, yer leddyship! 'Niver a frind in the worrld, yer honour. 'Her mother and father, sisthers and brothers, all dead of the faver and the famine. 'Nobody left but her relations in Carrmarrthinshire, and, maybe, they're all dead and buried, yer honour's glory. 'And what'll we do wid her, poor sowl?
"'Deed then, Sir Herbert, me lady is surprising very quiet-like; but her leddyship was always that, and as sweet to them as comes nigh her as flowers in May; but sure that's nathural to her leddyship." "And, Richard " "Yes, Sir Herbert." "Was Mr. Owen over at Castle Richmond since I left?" "Sorrow a foot, Sir Herbert. Nor no one ain't heard on him, nor seen him. And I will say this on him "

"You should tell this lady," she said to Jeanie, "the particular causes which render this crime common in your country." "Some thinks it's the Kirk-session that is it's the it's the cutty-stool, if your Leddyship pleases," said Jeanie, looking down and courtesying.

It's only when I want to favour yer leddyship that I tak siller fra ye, and naething I hae yet said could warrant yer leddyship in supposing that I was to confer sic a favour on ye, at least at the particular time when ye rose to open yer kist; and I dinna need to say, that favours quickly conferred are sune repented o'. Weel, the bit lassie wham Birkiehaugh was after, is a young creature, ca'ed Jessie Warriston, wha lives wi' my mither.
And the player quean and her cummer hae possession o' the house, and guide a' things their ain gait, wae's me!

Auld Cuthbert begs permission to send his duty and his prayers for your leddyship's happiness.

"Ask old Edie," said Hector; "I only know all's safe and well." "What is all this, Edie?" said Miss Wardour to the mendicant. "Your leddyship maun ask Monkbarns, for he has gotten the yepistolary correspondensh."

"God bless also her dear Leddyship. Bless the tender youth of the two young leddies likewise. We also unite in begging thee to have mercy on the puir governess."
