After the crush and struggle of the overcrowded streets, which she had not until now left behind, it was natural she should be so impressed. 'I walkit as far as frae the Trongate to the Briggate, an' I saw naething but twa-three sheep an' a robin red-breist sittin' in the hedge, she said musingly. 'It's breist was as red as it had been pented. I didna ken ye could see them leevin'?
"Aiblins they may," said she, "for your purpose was defeated; yea, even by that Heaven and thae angels." "What mean you, woman?" cried the astonished man. "What, in the name o' a' that's gude on earth and holy in heaven, do ye mean?" "Just that Janet Dodds is at this hour a leevin' woman," was the reply. "The Lord be thanked!" cried Tammas again, "for 'He preserveth all them that love Him."
It's the build o' them, 'Lowlan' or 'Hielan', the breed o' them; the dour hard character o' their country and their mainner o' leevin'. We gied the English a fleg at the 'Forty-five, didnae we? That was where the tartan cam' in: man, there's naethin' like us!" "You do not speak like a Highlander," said Montaiglon, finding some of this gasconade unintelligible.
The sma' dog got hame, an' is still leevin'. Noo, God forgie me " "Eh, man, what had you to do with Bobby's misadventure?" Mr. Traill fixed an accusing eye on the soldier, remembering suddenly his laughing threat to kidnap Bobby. The story came out in a flood of remorseful words, from Bobby's following of the troops so gaily into the Castle to his desperate escape over the precipice.
"The beacon, as I'm a leevin' sinner!" exclaimed Swankie. If Spink had not backed his oar at that moment, there is some probability that Swankie would have been a dead, instead of a living, sinner in a few minutes, for they had almost run upon the north-east end of the Bell Rock, and distinctly heard the sound of voices on the beacon.
But, oh! everybody had pennies and halfpennies and farthings, and she and Tammy together had a sixpence. Darting back to the gate, to catch the laddie before he could be off to school, she ran straight into the policeman, who stood with his hand on the wicket. He eyed her sharply. "Eh, lassie, I was gangin' to spier at the lodge, gin there's a bit dog leevin' i' the kirkyaird." "I I dinna ken."
He needs a bit nip," and Drumsheugh settles himself in his seat, "or else there wud be nae leevin' wi' him." Peter escaped this winged shaft, for he had detected a woman in the remote darkness. "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.
Ye're juist to stand here a' the day an' say to ilka body wha spiers for the dog: 'Ay, sir, Greyfriars Bobby's been leevin' i' the kirkyaird aucht years an' mair, an' Maister Traill's aye fed 'im i' the dining-rooms. Ay, the case was dismissed i' the Burgh coort. The Laird Provost gied a collar to the bit Skye because there's a meddlin' fule or twa amang the Burgh police wha'd be takin' 'im up.
"Weel, man!" said the laird, with a laugh that had in it just a touch of scorn, "gien the thing be sae plain, what gars ye gang that gait aboot the buss to say't? Du ye tak me and Cosmo here for bairns 'at wad fa' a greetin' gien ye tellt them their ba-lamb wasna a leevin' ane-naething but a fussock o' cotton-'oo', rowed roon' a bit stick? We're naither o' 's complimentit. Come, Cosmo.
"Please, sir, may I speak?" cried Nestie, as he saw the preparations for Peter's punishment and could not contain himself. "Were you in this job, too, Nestie? You didn't tell me that there were two at puir Robert, Bailie; if Nestie got his hand on your son, he's sic a veeciously inclined character that it's a wonder Robert's leevin. "Now, Bailie, we'll conduct a judeecial investigation.
